Scott Patch

Guide


Scott has guided Denali expeditions and taught mountaineering courses with AMS since 2015. In the early 1990s, he explored the mountains in Montana before venturing to Washington State, where he accumulated over 16 various ascents of Mt. Rainier. His attraction to snow and glacier climbs led him to Alaska in 2005, for his first ascent of Denali. He has successfully guided on Mount Everest, Cho Oyu, Elbrus, Denali, and Muztagata. When he’s not climbing, Scott can be found in Bozeman, Montana, ski patrolling at Big Sky Resort, doing carpentry, or exploring the mountains near home with his children.
