Following months of dedicated training and preparation, Alex summited one of the most difficult challenges yet; North America’s highest peak Denali in June 2015. Continuing her 100% summit success, she climbed Aconcagua in South America in January 2016, the tallest mountain in the world outside the Himalayas, and stood on the top of Oceania’s highest point, Carstensz Pyramid in Indonesia in March 2017. To gain further experience and confidence in exposed terrain, Alex climbed the Matterhorn in August 2017, without acclimatisation.

After six months of focused training, she stood on the summit of the highest mountain in the world, Mount Everest, on the 18th of May 2018.

Having completed the Seven Summits, she set her sights on new challenges. She spent the next three years exploring breathtaking places such as the Arctic Circle, the Sierra Nevada, Scotland, Pyrenees, the Alps and Patagonia on her bikes.

MTB LIFE

Beyond the off road bike adventures, Alex also got into XC mountain bike racing.

“Training for a mountain bike marathon gives me focus. I tend to sign up for races that scare me a little, for example the 150km fat bike race through the wintery the Finnish Lapland or the National Park Bike Marathon in the Alps. Preparing for races keeps me mentally sharp too and I constantly work on improving my technical skills.

I have a LOT of fun on the bike.”

In 2019, Alex qualified as a Mountain Bike Leader. She’s also an experienced Mountain and a British Athletics Running Leader. She’s deeply passionate about protecting the environment.

“My goal is to inspire and help people to understand more about the outdoors, respect for the mountains and the environment and have truly incredible adventures.”
