Kenton Cool

Two top mountaineers with 28 successful Everest summits between them will stage a series of three lectures in Britain next month.

Record-breaking British climber Kenton Cool will be joined by Nepalese Sirdar Lakpa Rita Sherpa to deliver the talks.

The Everest Uncovered lecture series is sponsored by Kathmandu-based Sherpa Adventure Gear and will visit Edinburgh, Manchester and London.
