Born on November 12th in Lemoa, Alex is one of the most famous expedition mountaineers in Spain. The mountains accompanied him since he was a child. He set off on his first expedition in 2002, at the age of 21, to the mountains of Pamir, but he was unsuccessfull that time. One year later he summited Broad Peak. It was when he met Denis Urubko, Simone Moro and other mountaineering legends. Since then he has summited 12 eight-thousanders: 2003 – Broad Peak, 2004 – Makalu and Cho Oyu, 2007 – Shisha Pangma (south face), 2008 – Dhaulagiri and Manaslu, 2010 – Annapurna and Shisha Pangma (southern wall), 2011 – Gasherbrum I and Gasherbrum II, 2013 – Lhotse. 
With a passion for unusual challenges, Alex´s biggest dream was to climb an 8000er in winter, 
a dream which was fulfilled on February 26th 2016 when along with Simone Moro and Ali Sadpara he made the first winter ascent of Nanga Parbat. He has a passion for making pioneering mountain ascents in environments and conditions which take the challenge out of the ordinary, such as 
attempting Himalayan peaks in winter or establishing new routes in mountains of Antarctica. Alex’s extraordinary tenacity and perseverance is what makes this possible.
In winter 2017 he tried to ascent Mount Everest, unsucessfully.
