Mountaineer Kenton Cool returned to the University of Leeds to share his astounding adventures on the world's toughest mountains. Leeds Media Services filmed, edited and encoded the event. It is now available to watch online.
Kenton started climbing when he was at Leeds University and is now one of the UK’s leading alpine climbers and mountain guides. He has made many significant ascents in Alaska, India, Pakistan and Nepal and among his impressive list of achievements is establishing a major new route on Annapurna III, becoming the first Briton to ski an 8000 metre peak on Cho Oyu, and becoming the first European to summit Everest seven times.
He has also taught Sir Ranulph Fiennes to climb and has successfully guided him up the North Face of the Eiger and to the summit of Everest.
