Tom PateyTom Patey (1932 - 25th May 1970) was a Scottish climber, mountaineer and writer. Although he was a leading Scottish climber of his day, particularly excelling on winter routes, he his probably best known for his humorous writings about climbing, many of which were published posthumously in the collection One Man's Mountains. He was born in Scotland and educated in Aberdeen at Ellon's Academy and Robert Gordon's College. He first got into climbing with the scouts, but it was at Aberdeen University where he trained as a doctor that he first showcased his talents as an exploratory climber. He climbed extensively in Scotland, as well as achieving notable ascents in the Alps and the Himalayas. At the time of his death he was working as a local GP in Ullapool, in the far north-west of Scotland. He was killed abseiling from a sea stack off Scotland's northern coast.
