Kenton Cool
Record Breaking Eleventh Everest Summiteer & One of the World’s Greatest High Altitude Guides
Kenton Cool is one of the world’s leading alpine climbers with 11 Everest Summits under his belt amongst other incredible feats of human achievement. He is Britain’s most successful Everest mountaineer and the second-most successful Western Mountaineer of all-time on Everest. In his latest expedition, May 2013 Ken has summited the three mountains of the Everest horseshoe – Everest (8,848m), Nuptse (7,861m) & Lhotse (8,516m) in one climb – completing the ultimate ‘Three Peaks’ challenge, becoming the first Mountaineer to summit the three mountains of the Western Cwm in one continuous climb. Kenton claimed an historic three peaks record for Britain in Everest’s 60th anniversary year.
“The Best Mountain Guide in the World” Sir Ranulph Fiennes Bt OBE
In 2012 Kenton fulfilled the Samsung Olympic Games Pledge by taking an Olympic Gold medal awarded to the 1922 Everest Expedition at the 1924 Winter Olympics by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, to the top of Mount Everest, thus fulfilling a 90 year old Pledge to see one of the medals successfully reach the summit. In 2011 Kenton became the focus of the world’s media after proving that 3G was now accessible on the summit of Mount Everest. He then went on to enter the record books for sending the first and only Tweet from the summit and making many lists of the most epic tweets of all time.[/expand]
In his presentations Kenton explores the direct comparisons between summit expeditions and business, focusing on the themes of teambuilding, leadership, motivation and facing personal fears in adverse situations. His years in the mountains have taught him how to face and overcome challenges, whilst bringing out the best in those around him. [/expand]
Kenton is an experienced motivational speaker who delivers popular keynote speeches about his passion for his sport. His presentations are entertaining, high energy and filled with humour, yet press some serious points. Each session is complemented with an awe-inspiring collection of photographs and video footage from his expeditions around the world.[/expand]
