Mikel Inoriza Serrano
Mikel Inoriza is from Vitoria-Gasteiz, Basque Country; he is an UIAGM/IFMGA mountain guide alongside being a Civil Engineer.
Mikel is a natural born climber, alpinist and skier; coming from a family with plenty of mountain tradition, he was introduced to the vertical world almost since his birth and his passion for it continues to grow. He now shares this love for the mountains with his trips as a mountain guide and was also part of the Spanish National Alpinsim Team between the 2018 and 2021.
He has plenty of experience climbing all over the world, with trips to the Himalayas, Caucasus, Pamir, Atlas, Norway, USA; having red-pointed routes up to 8b+ and on-sighted 8a in sport climbing; but also some eighth grade multi-pitch routes. He is also very interested in traditional climbing, working up to the French eighth grade in this style.
