“Ain’t no Saints up here,” declared arena investor Chris Hansen.

Recently Hansen took his love of Seattle sports to the world’s highest peak and waved the 12th Man flag at the Mount Everest base camp.

According to KING 5, Hansen’s investment team had a long-planned mission to conquer Mount Everest, which was only delayed by last spring’s attempt to secure an NBA franchise for Seattle.

The group made their trip to Everest a few weeks ago. They sent the video of the 12th Man flag to Pete Carroll, who posted it to his YouTube page.

Hansen said the flag is hanging in a tea house at the Everest base camp.
