Mountain Hardwear Athlete, Kenton Cool, recently returned from an amazing climbing session in the Everest region.
Kenton's first summit of the season and fourth career summit was on the 17th of May. He then had two rest days at base camp before returning up the mountain for his fifth summit on May 24th. In just one week, Kenton Cool summited Everest two times.
As a result, Kenton currently holds the UK and European records for most times summitting Everest. As well as the only western double summit in a season. Not too shabby...
Kenton was guiding clients on both summits for his company Dream Guides. Kenton started back up the mountain for the second time on May 21st, moving quickly up to camp 2. The next day was a push to camp 3 and then onto the South Col (7950 meters) on May 23rd. Leaving the wind swept camp at night, Kenton summitted early, at 3:50 a.m. on the 24th. Congratulations to Kenton for an amazing Everest season. We hope to get more details from him soon.
