Levet dominated competition bouldering in the early to mid-2000s, winning five IFSC Bouldering World Cups, and one IFSC Bouldering World Championship. Levet was also a strong competition lead climber, finishing second three times in the IFSC Lead Climbing World Cup, which also helped her to win the overall IFSC Combined Climbing World Cup five times.
