A remarkable 21-year-old blind climber from London has raised £14,000 to support his dream of competing at the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles, where para-climbing will make its debut as an official Paralympic sport.
Lux Losey-Sail, who was diagnosed with Stargardt disease at age seven, has been climbing since he was nine years old. The condition has left him with no central vision, meaning what fully-sighted individuals can see at 60 meters, he can barely make out at 3 meters.
„I love being up high. I’m not afraid of heights, and I’m always connected to a rope so I know that even if I fall I’ll be caught,“ Losey-Sail told reporters.
What makes his achievements even more impressive is his unique climbing method. Losey-Sail scales 25-meter walls using touch and verbal directions from his brother Max, 25, who guides him through a radio headset.
„When they’re guiding you, they’re giving you specifics on what type of hold is coming up, or the sequence of how to do the climb,“ explained Losey-Sail, who works as a climbing instructor at the Castle Climbing Centre in Hackney.
Since joining the GB Paraclimbing Team at just 15 years old as its youngest member, he has consistently earned podium spots in international competitions, including a silver medal at last year’s Paraclimbing World Cup in Italy.
The International Paralympic Committee is expected to announce which para-climbing categories will qualify for the 2028 Games by December. Losey-Sail has already surpassed his initial fundraising goal of £12,000 in just one week.
„I’ve always wanted to push myself to be the best that I can be,“ he said. „Regardless of if it’s a disability or mental health issues or whatever, human beings are resilient.“
