UK mountaineer logs most Everest climbs by a foreigner, Nepali makes 29th ascent

KATHMANDU – A British climber and a Nepal i guide have broken their own records for most climbs of Mount Everest , the world's highest mountain, hiking officials said on Sunday.

Rakesh Gurung, director of Nepal's Department of Tourism, said Britain's Kenton Cool, 50, and Nepali guide Kami Rita Sherpa, 54, climbed the 8,849-metre peak for the 18th and 29th time, respectively."He just keeps going and going... amazing guy!" Garrett Madison of the US-based expedition organising company Madison Mountaineering said of the Nepali climber. Madison had teamed up with Kami Rita to climb the summits of Everest, Lhotse, and K2 in 2014.

K2, located in Pakistan, is the world's second-highest mountain and Lhotse in Nepal is the fourth-tallest. Lukas Furtenbach of the Austrian expedition operator Furtenbach Adventures called Cool's feat remarkable. "He is a fundamental part of the Everest guiding industry. Kenton Cool is an institution," Furtenbach, who is leading an expedition from the Chinese side of Everest, told Reuters.Pioneered by the first summiteers, New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay in 1953, the route remains the most popular path to the Everest summit.
