This Climber Sets The Most Records Reaching The Peak Of Everest Apart From Nepalese

JAKARTA - A mountain climbing guide from England managed to record the record for the most successful non-Nepal climbers reaching the summit of Everest in the Himalayan Mountains last month.

Kenton Cool (51) recorded the success of climbing Everest for the 19th time on May 18, breaking his own record as a non-Sherpa guide.

Cool, who, from southwest England, climbed the 8,849 meter high peak along with several other climbers and he was in good shape and on his way down from the summit, said Iswari Paudel of the Himalayan Guidedes Nepal, who completed his expedition, quoted by CNN June 25.

Cool first peaked Everest on May 15, 2004, and consecutively after that on May 31, 2005, May 17, 2006, May 17, 2007, May 24, 2008, May 24, 2008, May 21, 2009, May 17, 2010, May 6, 2011, May 25, 2012, May 19, 2013, May 12, 2016, May 16, 2018, May 16, 2019, May 11, 2021, 2022, May 17, 2023, May 12, 2024 and May 18, 2025, quoted from various sources.

Cool was unable to climb Everest in 2014 as the season was canceled after 16 Sherpa guides died in an avalanche, and again in 2015 when an earthquake triggered a snowfall that killed 19 people. The 2020 climbing season was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile, from his personal website, Kenton Cool wrote a number of achievements, such as the first person to be able to complete "Everest Triple Crown" by reaching the summit of Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse once without returning to basecamp in May 2013 and the first non-Asian to reach Everest twice a week.

It is known, only Nepal's Sherpa guide was able to climb the summit of Everest more than her.

The record is mostly held by Sherpa Kami Rita, who on May 27 managed to reach the top of Everest for the 31st time, breaking her own record as the most climber who was able to reach the roof of the world.

In an upload on his Instagram account, we Rita wrote this success as another milestone she has reached in her life journey.

"This season is not easy. The harsh and unexpected weather tests every step, strong winds, thick and cold snow that stabs. However, with my extraordinary patience, preparation, and strength of the Sherpa team, we guide a large group of people safely to the summit and back," he wrote.

"Every peak reminds me: patience, trust, and teamwork make impossible," he continued.

Before heading to the mountains, Kami Rita told AP that she would try to climb to the top for the 31st or maybe even the 32nd time. Last year, he made it to the top twice.

A few days earlier, Rita tried climbing to the top, but was forced to come back down due to bad weather.

We Rita first climbed Everest in 1994 and have been traveling for most of the year since then.
