Alex Johnson

Ambassador

Alex is a lifelong climber, two-time World Cup gold medalist, two-time World Cup silver medalist, two-time Pan American Champion, and five-time US National Champion. Though she is a decorated competitive climber, her passion lies in the outdoors. Alex has logged over 125 sends V10/7C+ and above, including The Swarm (V14); ticked several infamous highballs; and established first ascents around the world. Last summer, AJ was involved in the complete rebolting of the notorious Hell Cave/Diablo Wall in American Fork, Utah. She currently lives in Salt Lake City.

As an ambassador for The Global Climbing Initiative, Alex aims to inspire collective action among climbers internationally to amplify local climbing communities and their efforts to create positive change.

"It is said that music is a universal language. I think climbing is also a universal language,” says Alex. “I've seen the light that it brings; the joy is infectious. Encouragement sounds the same in any language, and it's such an easy thing to do. Whether you’re a new or experienced climber, this sport has the power to unite and empower us in so many ways. That's why I think the work The Global Climbing Initiative is doing is so cool, and I'm excited to be a part of it."
