ABOUT HIMALI HIMALI™ was founded in 2014 by Dave Schaeffer and legendary 18 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.
