Kenton Cool season's first foreigner to scale Mt Everest

Mt Everest on Thursday(12th may 2016) morning recorded its first summit by the foreign expedition members of the season after the renowned British climber Kenton Cool along with a fellow mountaineer Robert Lucas and two Sherpa guides successfully reached to the top of the world’s highest peak.
According to the base camp officials, Kenton, 42, and Lucas, 53, stood at the top of the peak at 8:15 am becoming the first expedition members to have climbed the Mt Everest after 2014.

Kenton becomes the first Briton to climb Mt Everest for 12 times. Kenton also holds a record of the first mountaineer who climbed Mt Nuptse, Mt Everest and Mt Lhotse in a season in 2013.
Gyanendra Shrestha, a Nepalese Tourism Ministry official, said: "They have become the first foreigners to reach the top of Everest after two years. Three foreigners and three Nepalese have climbed Everest this morning."

“They left for summit immediately after nine Sherpas fixed climbing ropes to the summit point on Wednesday late in the afternoon,” Iswari Paudel, owner of the Himalayan Guides told THT Online after holding satellite phone communications with summiteers.
