This weekend the 23rd Arco Rock Master competition in Lake Garda, Trentino, Italy will feature some of the world’s best climbers competing in lead, duel, bouldering and speed climbing invite only competitions.
Competing in the “Sint Roc Boulder Contest” as the sole representative for the United States will be Wisconsin’s very own Alex Johnson. Scheduled for 2:00 pm local time this Sunday (7:00 am CST), the women’s bouldering contest features a select group of the world’s strongest female boulderers. Based on the way Johnson floated up the hardest boulder problems at my local gym the other night she looks to be in good form…at least on V7s.
As a bonus, it looks like some sort of live coverage of the event will be done beginning tomorrow at this link. It remains to be seen if this means live video or just live results. Check in tomorrow to find out.
The other events looks like they will be pretty cool to watch as well with the likes of Adam Ondra and Patxi Usobiaga competing in the lead competition. Here are the athlete lists for all the events:

I think you need to start qualifying which Alex Johnson you are talking about in your tag line. Propose “Alexa” for she-Alex. ce

This is an interesting dilemma that will only get worse as time goes by. Since the female AJ was here first I think she has dibs.

i think i’ve heard him called “Alex David Johnson”

I’ve always been partial to calling him “D” Alex Johnson.

I always remember Craig calling him ‘the other Alex Johnson’

I call him steroids. Referring to how tall he grew in one year. He went from this little dude to this tall fucker. Just call him steroids folks.
