Alex Johnson, 5 time US Champion, is one of America's best climbers.

Between 2003 and 2007 she hesitated between lead and speed, trying a few international competitions but not really breaking through.

Then in 2008, bingo, the tall blonde won the Vail stage of the bouldering World Cup. She had found her element, and she embarked on the World Cup circuit, finishing 4th overall in 2010.

A little disappointing in 2011, is she going to bounce
back for this new season ?

2011 : 8th in the overall World Cup rankings
2011 : 7th in the World Championships
2010 : Winner of the Zurich World Cup stage
