where it all began
In September 2019, Mountain Hardwear returned to “where it all began,”
sending a peer-voted group of six employees to embark on a ten-day trek to
Everest Base Camp and meet up with a team of climbers—including company
president Joe Vernachio and athletes Tim Emmett and Garrett Madison—as
they prepared for their chance to reach the highest summit on Earth. They
field-tested products along the way, learned firsthand about the community
that enables climbers in Nepal, connected with the places that inspired the
brand’s existence, as well as connected with each other, bringing a
stronger foundation back to Mountain Hardwear’s home base.
trekking together
Mountain Hardwear has been making gear for the high mountains for over a quarter-century, yet most of our team has never seen an 8,000m peak up close. We felt that had to change… Here’s what our trekking team found on their 100-mile journey through the Khumbu Valley.
