in and around Glacier NP. No Rivendells on the trip, but you may enjoy some

You can replace your 10 speed cassette with a 7 speed. You will need to add
a spacer like this:

One exceedingly important principle is: don't move your saddle to
adjust reach to the bar. In fact, I agree with many that saddle
position -- height, tilt and, especially, fore/aft situation -- is the
starting point for everything else.
See PJW's well known bike fit article:
The saddle should never be adjusted relative to the bars, but should be
adjusted relative to the pedal. I use the traditional patella above the
pedal spindle (pedal at 90 degrees horizontal and forward) as the starting
point and then adjust for comfort from there. I realize that arguments
Reflecting further on my own comments, maybe I should clarify -- when I was
fit and strong and could climb seated in relatively big gears, my saddle
was further back. Now I spin climbs rather than pounding them. My saddle
is still further back than the patella-over-spindle starting point, but

I have never used the Pauls, and you have a fair bit more mass to slow
down than I do, so my experiences may not be relevant.
If the straddle wire end of the brake is above the pivot point (when
the pads are touching he rim) then the lower the straddle wire, the
more leverage you are going to get.
I think I will ask my LBS if they can get it done for me 7-speed.
I'll get a new chain to boot.
Sounds like easier shifting.
10-speed is pretty tight spacing and I get spontaneous shifts if I am not
careful.
Wider spacing sounds easier.
