==Biography==
Alex Johnson was born and raised in Hudson, Wisconsin. She began climbing in 1997, won her first American Bouldering Series Youth Climbing National Championship in 2002 at age twelve, and won the Adult National Championships in 2003 at age thirteen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alex Johnson, Rock Climber )〕 She continued to win professional bouldering competitions throughout her childhood, but in her last two years of high school she turned away from climbing to focus her energy on track, and in 2007 she won the Wisconsin State Championships in pole vaulting. This win helped her earn a track and field scholarship to attend Minnesota State University. However, she quickly grew tired of both school and track, and returned to rock climbing with renewed energy. Her training paid off, and in 2008, she won the gold medal in the first Bouldering World Cup held in America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Jackie Hueftle )〕
After her first World Cup win, Johnson left Minnesota State University and moved to Colorado to focus on bouldering. She took second to Alex Puccio in the 2009 World Cup and won a second gold medal in 2010. She then moved to Europe to train with the Austrian team, but after a string of disappointing finishes in 2011 and a bout of debilitating depression, Johnson returned to the US.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Jackie Hueftle )〕 Between 2012 and 2015, she placed well in several national and international competitions, including first place at the UBC Pro Tour Championships in 2012〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alex Johnson - Competition Results )〕 and second place, again to Alex Puccio, in the American Bouldering Series National Championships.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2015 Bouldering Open Nationals )〕
Although Johnson is best known as a competition climber, she has increasingly focused on outdoor climbing, and she has claimed the first female ascent of several notable outdoor problems, including Luminance, Whispers of Wisdom, Across the Tracks, Progressive Guy, Vigilante, Stake Your Claim, Diesel Power, Beyond Life, Dark Horse, Seek and Destroy, and Prune Tang at the V10 grade, Stand and Deliver, Drive On, Divergence, Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves, and Double Stack at V11, and Clear Blue Skies, The Mystery, Diaphanous Sea, Lethal Design, and Book of Nightmares at V12.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alex Johnson - Outdoor )〕 Like many women who have claimed first female ascents of difficult problems, Johnson faced controversy and the threat of a downgrade after many of her V12 first female ascents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】author=Jackie Hueftle )〕
