Alexander Huber (born December 1968 in Trostberg, Bavaria), is a German climber and mountaineer. He lives in Bavaria with his wife and children. He has a Masters in Physics. When they were still young Alexander Huber and his brother Thomas Huber were taken into the mountains by their father, Thomas Huber, himself a noted climber known for early fast ascents of now classic climbs. Together with his brother Thomas, he became interested in extreme alpine climbing. Alexander was state-certified mountain and skiing guide in 1992. He studied physical meteorology, became a professional mountaineer in 1997, and was one of the most successful climbers and mountaineers of the 2000s. While being an all-round climber, Alexander is most famous for his bold free ascents of big walls, and his expeditions in the Karakoram, Antarctica, and Greenland. ==Notable climbs== * 1992 First Ascent of ''Om'' (5.14d/9a), Triangel / Bavaria * 1994 First Ascent of ''Weisse Rose'' (5.14d/9a), Schleierwasserfall / Austria * 1995 Free Ascent of the ''Salathé Wall'' (5.13b), El Capitan, Yosemite Valley * 1996 First ascent of ''Open Air'' (5.15a/9a+), Schleierwasserfall / Austria, the most difficult sport route of its time.
