Description

What does it take to summit Mount Everest not once, but 19 times? In this episode of Hawke Talk, I sit down with Kenton Cool, one of the world’s most accomplished mountaineers, to uncover his journey from a sickly child in London to summiting Mount Everest 19 times and guiding clients on some of the world’s most dangerous peaks.


Kenton shares how his early years in Scouts gave him a love for the outdoors, why he worked construction jobs to fund his first expeditions, and the pivotal moment he realized he needed to turn climbing into a career. He takes us inside his first Everest expedition as a lead guide, the near-fatal accident that changed his perspective, and how he has since balanced guiding elite clients, tackling record-breaking climbs, and building a performance coaching company alongside his wife.
