KATHMANDU, NEPAL—A British mountain guide has scaled Mt. Everest on Sunday for the 19th time breaking his own record for the most ascents of the world’s highest mountain by a non-Sherpa guide.
Kenton Cool, 51, from southwest England, scaled the 8,849-meter peak on Sunday along with several other climbers and he was doing well and on way down from the summit, said Iswari Paudel of Himalayan Guides Nepal, which equipped his expedition.
Cool first climbed Mt. Everest in 2004 and has been doing it almost every year since then.
