They had come from near and far and from very different careers. In high school they were members of the Kachinas, a climbing club named in honor of the mountain-dwelling spiritual beings of the Hopi Indian tribe. They spoke of the profound impact the climbing had had on their lives. And that day they vowed to build an organization that would give present-day students the opportunity to experience the same kind of character-building program they had known. So, came into being PAAK-Challenge and Reevis Mountain School, heirs to the Kachinas. Hundreds of young men and women participated in a variety of programs that gave them courage for other life adventures.
