Caleb Coles-Hiu Climbing
My name is Krissy Coles-Hiu, and I am reaching out on behalf of my son, Caleb, a highly talented and dedicated young climber from England. At just 12 years old, Caleb is already making a name for himself on the national climbing scene and is widely regarded as one of the most promising climbers of his age in the UK.
Caleb is currently a member of the GB Climbing England Regional Squad, having earned his place through consistent, exceptional performances. His recent achievements include:
1st Place – U13 category, Irish National Bouldering Championships
1st Place – U13 category, National Lead Championships
3rd Place – GB Climbing Benchmarking (Lead), competing against U15s
5th Place – GB Climbing Benchmarking (Boulder), again against older athletes
4th Overall in a combined final (U13, U15, U17 categories) – outperforming older, more experienced climbers
Caleb is on track to join the GB National Team as soon as he becomes age-eligible. His long-term goal is to represent Great Britain at international competitions, including the Youth World Championships and, ultimately, the Olympics.
