British Climber Kenton Cool Scales Everest for 19th Time
Kenton Cool, a climber from Britain, has climbed Mount Everest for the 19th time!
That's the most anyone has climbed it who isn't a Sherpa guide.
He first climbed the mountain in 2004 and usually goes back every year.
He had to skip a few years because of bad weather or other problems on the mountain.
Many climbers go to Everest in the spring, and some have already made it to the top.
Cool is still going strong, and he's on his way down from the summit.
British mountain guide Kenton Cool scaled Mount Everest on Sunday, May 19, 2025.
This marks Cool's 19th ascent of the world's highest peak, a non-Sherpa record.
Cool, 51, from southwest England, summited with other climbers.
He first climbed Everest in 2004 and has been climbing regularly since.
The climbing season is expected to end soon due to monsoon weather.
