Kenton Cool

Biography

Kenton Cool is one of the world’s leading mountaineers and mountain guides who has a deep love for the big mountains, having climbed extensively around the world, including rock faces and peaks in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. His mountaineering achievements are all the more astonishing when we learn that he was told he would never walk unaided again, after a serious climbing accident in his early twenties.

Kenton has spent much of his mountaineering career in the Himalayas, specifically Nepal, and in May 2024 he summited Mount Everest for the 18th time, a non-Sherpa record and an achievement that gained worldwide media coverage.

Kenton’s energetic stories about his experiences in ‘the death zone’ captivate audiences around the world and inspire them to aim high and achieve their goals in both their professional and personal lives.
