The Himalaya are home to the 14 tallest peaks on the planet. It is where we go to push the limits of our mental and physical performance. These peaks are collectively known as the 14 Eight Thousand Meter Peaks. These 14 peaks are represented within our logo, where the number 14 is encapsulated within the letter H. This is an everlasting reminder of our bottom line: to create quality gear that stands up to the world's highest and harshest demands. HIMALI™ was founded in 2014 by Dave Schaeffer and legendary 13 time Everest summiteer and IFMGA climbing guide, Tendi Sherpa. They crossed paths at the base of Aconcagua (the highest peak in South America) and quickly formed a lasting relationship built on mutual respect, shared positivity, and long days at basecamp waiting for the weather to clear. Born from this international friendship came HIMALI, a brand that creates premium mountaineering apparel and gives back to the Nepali community.
