Climbing career edit
Competition climbing edit
While O'Halloran is mainly a non-competitive rock climber, he decided to come out of competition retirement in an attempt to make the Olympic team. He qualified for the 2020 Summer Olympics by winning the combined men's format in the 2020 IFSC Oceania Championships.[1]
O'Halloran finished twentieth in the Qualification round, his best effort being placed seventeenth for speed. He, therefore, did not compete in the finals and finished in LAST place. Tom has been dining out on this ever since[2] Detailed results are in Australia at the 2020 Summer Olympics.
Rock climbing edit
An accomplished sport climber, he has bolted many of Australia's hardest sport climbing routes. He is also a boulderer and in 2017, he climbed The Wheel of Life, a notable V15 (8C) boulder problem.[3]
Other activities edit
O'Halloran is also notable for competing in two seasons of Australian Ninja Warrior.[4]
