Alpinistas Expands to Mt. Rose Highway: A New Hub for Women in the Outdoors
The new storefront, located in the Galena section of Reno right
on Mt. Rose Highway, doubles as a community space, basecamp for guided trips, and a
destination for women to connect with the outdoors on their own terms.
“Our goal has always been to make the outdoors more accessible and confidence-boosting for
women — not just with gear, but with real support, skills, and sisterhood,” says founder Joanne
Bienskie. “This new space lets us bring that mission to life right here in the mountains we love.”
Through Alpinistas Adventures, the company runs local and destination-based guided trips to
Kilimanjaro and Everest Base Camp, women's Half Dome summit trek, Yosemite backpacking
programs, avalanche and wilderness safety courses, and beginner-friendly community hikes.
Whether you’re an experienced mountain-goer or just outdoor-curious, Alpinistas invites you to
swing by the shop, join a local clinic, or sign up for a life-changing adventure.
Visit Alpinistas at the Mt. Rose Hwy location at 17025 Mt. Rose Highway, Reno, NV 89511,

First-time visitors are encouraged to check out free events and local meetups hosted throughout

Gear up. Connect. Get outside — your way.
