Chris Lile

Chris grew up exploring the hills of rural Idaho, where he developed a love for the outdoors and a thirst for adventure. He moved to Wyoming to attend school and quickly fell in love with the surrounding mountains. A rock climber at heart, Chris eventually gave into ice climbing and skiing after suffering through two Wyoming winters digging boulders out of the snow. Since then, he has developed a passion for all three disciplines and seeks whatever conditions seem most fun. Now a year-round guide, Chris shares his knowledge and experience with others, helping them to embark on their own adventures.
