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.
