Description

I know the province of Mendoza as the palm of my hand. That’s why I can guarantee Arenales is one of the best traditional rock climbing spots of the Andes.

Arenales offers perfect granite walls to enjoy one or more days of traditional rock climbing. Besides, its surroundings are really wild with stunning landscapes.

This rock climbing area is at 130 km of Mendoza capital and has an elevation of 2.800 meters. Most of the South American climbers choose this place due to the high quality of its climbing routes. Some of them are walls of more than 500 meters long.

Moreover, those routes are well equipped to ensure the safest experience and many of them offers amazing cracks so that you can live a great climb on a big wall.

This trip is suitable for climber with some knowledge in rappelling, climbing and belaying. And, of course, it is also necessary to count on a very good physical shape.

I am a guide with a lot of experience in Andean climbs, so I will recommend some of the best routes of Arenales:

Carlos Daniel, 270 m. Difficulty: 6a (5.10b)
Campanile, 220 m. Difficulty: 6a (5.10b)
Charles Webis, 220 m. Difficulty: 6b (5.10d)
El Cohete, 500 m. Difficulty: 6a/b (5.10 b/d)

If you’re interested in this trip, please feel free to ask me any doubt you have.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
