KENTON COOL

HEIGHT/ 6 ft on the nose

WEIGHT/ how rude....but fighting weight is 82kg but after Everest this year I was down to 70Kg

NICKNAME/ Coolio, Coolman, KC or Kenny depends when you know me from

PROFESSION/ Mountain and Ski Guide, Alpine climber, High Altitude Guide

ACHIEVEMENTS/ One of the UK's leading alpine climbers with an impressive list of difficult ascents. In 2003 completed a major new route on Annapurna III (7,555m) for which Kenton, along with his two partners, were nominated for the prestigious Piolet D'Or Award in France (an international award given to the best alpine-style ascent of the year). Kenton has been a popular and successful Expedition guide, having led a number of teams to summits in Nepal, including Ama Dablam. In May 2006 he became the first Briton to climb Everest three times, successfully guiding clients to the summit on each occasion, and has now achieved six summits to date (twice in one week!). With Dream Guides successful Cho Oyu expedition in October 2006, Kenton made the first British ski descent of an 8000m peak. Kenton remains the only European to summit 6 times and to summit twice in a season, make that 7 times after this years summit with Sir Ranulph Fiennes. The first Brit to guide the North Wall of the Eiger, also with Ran. Important 1st ascents and repeats all over the world.

RITUAL/ I get fired up by thinking of those last few steps to the summit and how that will feel when I get there.
I also believe that no matter how hard or grim things are there will always be an end, by thinking this I can get through anything.

FAVOURITE SiS PRODUCT/ Fav ones at the moment are the Strawberry BUILD and also REGO. They are GREAT. I've been using them for about 12 months now and they make a huge difference.With REGO the difference in my muscles between using it and not is astonishing. If I don't use it I can be aching for days after a hard day out while 
if I drink some as soon as I finish the next day I feel like I could do it all again. You really have to try it to believe the difference.
