Bart Paull

Bart Paull is CGI's newest guide and comes to us with 15 years of climbing and ski mountaineering experience. Bart grew up in Seattle, WA, and was introduced to climbing at the early age of 10. He spent his youth learning to climb on the crags and in the mountains of Washington's Cascade Range. Since his early beginnings he has participated in climbing and skiing trips all over North and South America, Asia, and Europe.

Bart began mountain guiding in 1998. Since then he has worked in both the western and eastern United States, South America, and Europe. Bart is certified by the AMGA as a Rock and Alpine Guide, and hopes to finish his UIAGM/IFMGA guide certification in the spring of 2005.

Bart's extensive guide training, combined with his worldwide experience, makes him highly qualified to be a part of your next mountain adventure.
