No One Will Climb Everest This Year | The Last Team Pulls Out For the first time in many years, it appears that no one will climb Mt. Everest this year. The last team that was holding out to climb Everest left the mountain today. New Zealander Russell Brice, owner of outfitter Himalayan Experience, the last team holding out to climb Everest, announced today that he’ll be leaving the mountain with his team.โNow having considered all facts, I can tell you that we will not be continuing any of our ascents in Nepal this season.” – Russell Brice SnowBrains | May 1, 2015 2 Comments
