The first final evaluation for mountain guides under the IFMGA certification was completed in Chile, with the presence of Kurt Walde, technical director of the IFMGA, who confirmed the high level of the group and the formation of the National Association of Mountain Guides of Chile (ANGM).
The module was developed during 12 days in the mountains of central Chile, of which 7 days were spent in the "Glaciar Universidad" sector opening unexplored granite edges and practicing on the glacier. The rest 5 days were spent in the Cajón del Maipo climbing on granite walls, volcanic rock and beautiful metamorphic formations of the central Andes of Chile. The graduates began the training process in 2021 and have just completed it at the end of 2024.
This is part of the work that Chile has been doing since 2019 when it became a candidate country for the IFMGA, a status that will be voted on at the next assembly that takes place next week in Prague, wherethey hope to become a member country of the IFMGA.
