Bace Poplawski

Guide


Bace has been working with AMS since 2013 and guides our Denali expeditions, mountaineering and wilderness courses and skills-intensive workshops, and works on film production assignments. Bace grew up with Wisconsin winters, enjoying adventure racing, Nordic skiing, and trail running. In 2010 he began his climbing career in Alaska’s Chugach and Talkeetna Mountains. Bace is about the most easygoing and happy person you will meet––combined with mental and physical strength, this makes him a great person to have on your side in the mountains. His persistence and work ethic is evident in his other life’s work as an Alaskan commercial fisherman.
