Pat Ormond

Pat started working with AMS in 2007 and leads Denali expeditions and technical climbs. Originally from Seattle, Washington, Pat attended the University of Washington, where he was a member of the UW’s 1997 national champion crew team. Pat grew up skiing, climbing, and hiking in the Cascades. He started mountain guiding in 2000 and became a full-time guide in 2004. When not working with AMS in Alaska, Pat guides in Colorado and in Wyoming’s Teton Mountains. Pat spends time climbing and skiing, with some guitar thrown in to mix it up. He calls Ouray, Colorado, his home where he lives with his wife, Dawn, who is also a professional mountain guide and climber.
