After a fall from a cliff in 1996, where he broke both heels, Cool returned to mountaineering and climbed the world's highest peak 20 times.

British climber Kenton Cool has climbed Mount Everest 20 times, even though in 1996 doctors told him he would no longer be able to walk without assistance.

That year, he fell off a cliff and broke both heels. After several surgeries and three months in a wheelchair, he returned to mountaineering and climbed some of the world's highest peaks.

In 2022, after his 16th ascent, he broke the record for most ascents of Everest by someone who is not a Sherpa, the indigenous Himalayan people who often work as guides on the mountain. The overall record is held by Kami Rita Sherpa, with 32 ascents.

He first saw Everest as a guide when a Sheffield company asked him to lead an expedition. In 2006 he opened his own company and now takes on just one client a year, with whom he prepares for up to three years for the climb.

He has also experienced some scary moments on the mountain. Once his oxygen supply ran out and he had to share it with other climbers. In 2013, a climber died in his arms.

"The mountain doesn't care if you've climbed it 20 times or just once, anyone can die there," he told The Guardian.

However, Cool has no plans to stop anytime soon. According to him, it has all been about experiences, not numbers, and more than the mountain, what matters to him is the country and its people.
