Alex D. Johnson Sends 5.14b

Alex David Johnson has sent Welcome to Tijuana (5.14b) in Rodellar, Spain.  The day before the send he wrote on his facebook page, Welcome to Tijuana 14b is going down tmrw!"  Way to call it Alex!  The very next day he followed through with his prediction and "finally entered the world of 5.14."  According to his 8a scorecard it was "the perfect route if you want short and bouldery."  Usually people break into 5.14 with a 5.14a but Alex went big.  The question remains: "Was this the first 5.14b ever sent with socks on?"  At the rate Alex is going, it certainly won't be the last.  Nice job, Alex.

Alex David Johnson is famous for a few things: Always smiling, crushing rock climbs, wearing socks under his climbing shoes, and sharing a name with another pro climber.  Way to go Alex!  Photo: Facebook
