Paul Rachele
Paul is a midwest transplant who drifted to the mountains after college and never really left. Climbing has taken Paul from the deserts of southeast California to the glaciers of central Alaska and everywhere in between. Some of Paul’s most memorable climbing experiences are the Cassin Ridge on Denali and a solo, nighttime ascent of the Hossack-McGowan on the Grand Teton. In the winter, Paul enjoys skiing and winter alpinism. Paul guides year-round for RMI, Jackson Hole Mountain Guides, and Teton Backcountry Guides, and calls Victor, Idaho, home. Paul is an AMGA/IFMGA Mountain Guide.
