In 1988, Brice and Harry Taylor were the first climbers to successfully climb the Pinnacles on Everest's Northeast Ridge. He has been leading expeditions to the Himalayas since 1974.

Brice is most well known for leading the 2006 and 2007 expeditions on Everest which were filmed by the Discovery Channel for two seasons of a series titled "." The series touts Brice's experience and weather savvy as being greater than that of any of the other expeditions on the mountain that season.

In the series, Brice says about 80% of his "mates" have died during his climbing career. Mark Jennings, UK, died in 1998 on Everest. Brice found his body at 8,200 meters. Michael Rheinberger was also one of Brice's good friends. His body remains on Everest after he died there in 1994. Rob Hall, who died on the mountain in the 1996 disaster was also a friend.

Recently, Brice has been the subject of controversy over the death of climber David Sharp during the expedition filmed for the Discovery Channel series. [cite web
