Himex is a Mount Everest guiding company. It was founded in 1996 by New Zealander Russell Brice. The name is a truncated version of the full name Himalayan Experience. National Geographic said Himex was the largest and most sophisticated guiding operation on Everest in a 2013 article. Himex's team is known for fixing lines on Mount Everest, although in 2012 other teams did this work.
