The two Brits accompanied by two local guides, Dorchi Gyalzen Sherpa and Pemba Bhote, reached the top of the world’s highest peak at 8:15 am yesterday, said Iswari Paudel, owner of Himalayan Guides Nepal, which arranged the expedition.
The four-person team was the first to ascend the 8850-metre (29,035-foot) high Himalayan peak after nine Nepalis reached the summit on the evening before while fixing ropes for foreign climbers who plan to scale the mountain this week.
“After today’s successful summit, Kenton Cool has become the first Briton to summit Everest 12 times,” said Paudel, who received the news from team members at base camp. (Courtesy of Myanmar Times)
