There was no one among the mountaineers who was inexperienced.

This is a double negative sentence structure case. These types of sentences have two negative words used in the same sentence. Using two negatives in the same sentence makes the sentence into a positive sentence. Double negatives should not be used in formal English because they are considered to be poor grammatically, and they can be confusing.
So the correct construction can be as follows:
There was no one among them who was not an experienced mountaineer.
