Claudia Alaniz

Claudia, a guide from the province of Mendoza, began her mountaineering journey in 2014, leading monthly climbs that fueled her passion for the mountains. The following year, she continued her training through a climbing course at the Andean Club of Mendoza, further developing her technical skills and understanding of the mountain environment. She later entered the Provincial School of Mountain Guides, where she expanded her skillset, built strong professional relationships, and gained experience across the diverse terrain of the Mendoza Andes.

Claudia’s work is closely tied to Aconcagua, where she has guided numerous expeditions and built solid experience in high-altitude environments, consistently contributing to the mountaineering community.

“Excellent company in all aspects of the mountain. I was amazed by their logistics, camps, food and the quality and quantity of guides. We had two guides up to base camp, then three up to Nido de Condores, and four on our summit day with a group size of eight climbers! So there’s always a guide to take you up if others climbers need to descend on summit day”
