Everest Outfit since 2019 has been testing their products in the high Himalayas on Nepal
Having worked as professional mountain guides for a decade, one problem always plagued Tenzeeng Sherpa and Passang Geljen Sherpa. Working in the high mountains, they always needed high-class climbing gear. But, with everything in Nepal overpriced or overrated, they always had to ask clients or friends to bring them from abroad.
Every time they climbed together, they always talked about starting a brand that would sell outdoor gear at a reasonable price. But, as they spent most of their time trekking or climbing, they hardly had time to do so.

Nepali mountaineers Vinayak Jaya Malla and Tenji Sherpa have decided to discontinue their bid to climb Manalsu this year.
Both internationally certified mountain guides (IFMGA), Sherpa and Malla arrived in Gorkha district late in December 2020 to attempt to climb the eighth highest mountain in the world in the alpine style.
The team trekked, experienced the arrival of winter and broke the trail to the base camp through heavy snow early in January, paving the path for others who followed.
The duo, however, hit a brick wall on the way to Camp II where they encountered an impassable crevasse at around 6,200 m on January 27 along the standard route on the Northeast Ridge.
