Who are they? Best to let them explain
themselves.

In 1984 a small group of climbers from the
world's flattest continent pulled off an
audacious ascent of Mount Everest - they
put a new route up the north face in
lightweight style with no oxygen or sherpa
support. Six years later, one of the
summiteers, Tim Macartney-Snape decided
to return to Everest after he realized neither
he nor any other person who had climbed
the mountain had truly climbed the entire
8,848 meters, as that would have meant
starting from sea level. That is, no one had
yet climbed it from "sea to summit".

In the spring of 1990 Tim had a swim in the
tepid waters of India's Bay of Bengal then
set off on foot across the Gangetic plain
toward the distant Himalayan foothills.
Four months later, after climbing alone
from Base Camp and without the assistance
of oxygen, he set foot once again on the
highest point on earth. Tim's solo ascent of
Mt. Everest was named the "Sea to Summit"
expedition.

Back in Australia, Tim joined forces with
climbing friend, sewing enthusiast and
design guru Roland Tyson to build a
business that could make use of their
knowledge of the outdoors to create truly
ingenious, well-made but affordable
outdoor equipment. They named their
company Sea to Summit after Tim's
expedition and the business prospered.
Today the Sea to Summit brand continues
to provide innovative gear and serves a
growing band of outdoor enthusiasts all
over the world.
