It’s always exciting to see our athletes compete, and very exciting to see them stand on the podium!
At the ABS 10 Nationals in Boulder, CO this week, congratulations to Alex Johnson for taking 1st place in the women’s division! Alex joined our team at the age of 14, and we love seeing her send. Paul took 2nd in men’s, which we’re darn proud of since he only got out of his boot a month ago, protecting his broken ankle.

Alex Johnson World Cup Win
Vail, CO —At the Vail Bouldering World Cup in Colorado, held at the Teva Mountain Games, prAna athlete Alex Johnson stunned everyone by winning the women’s competition. prAna athlete Paul Robinson made the podium in the men’s bouldering competition finishing third.
Although Johnson, 19, was second at the U.S. bouldering championship in February, she had never competed in a Bouldering World Cup. However, she had done well in international speed climbing comps. She was third in her age group in speed at the World Youth Championships in Austria in 2006, and second at the World Youth Championships in 2005; she also finished fifth in speed against adult competitors at the International World Games in Germany in 2005.
Congratulations to Alex, Paul and the rest of the competitors.
