Raineri was born in Ibitinga.[2] He graduated with a degree in engineering from Unicamp, and worked as a graduate school professor of ecotourism at Senac.[citation needed]
Raineri started climbing at 19. He had extensive experience in rock climbing, ice climbing and high mountain ascents. He was the first Brazilian to summit Mount Everest three times, and would make six expeditions to the Everest.[3][4] He led 11 expeditions to Aconcagua, reaching the summit six times.[citation needed] With Vitor Negrete, he climbed the South Face of Aconcagua, the only Brazilian pair to do so.[2]
In 2009, he added paragliding to his repertory, flying down from the summit of Mont Blanc.[citation needed]
As an entrepreneur, Raineri provided corporate lectures and behavioral training, relating his mountaineering experience to the corporate world. He has worked since 1994 as an adventure sports and safety instructor. He is the co-author, along with Diogo Schelp, of No Teto do Mundo [At the Roof of the World] (Leya, 2012; ISBN 978-8580441253).
Rodrigo Raineri died in a paragliding accident on 4 July 2024 in Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region. During the ongoing K2 climbing expedition, Raineri's group was on a leg to the K2 base camp. Raineri opted to paraglide from Askoli to Jhula camp when the incident occurred in the Askoli area.[5] At the time of the accident, Raineri did not have a paragliding permit, and action was taken against Alpine Adventure Guides Pakistan, the tour operator for his trip.[6]
