The mountaineer continues to break records despite shattering his heels in an accident in 1996.
British mountaineer Kenton Cool has successfully completed his record-breaking 16th summit of Mount Everest.
In his previous 15 trips up Everest, he has been a guide to other well-known mountaineers, including Sir Ranulph Fiennes and broadcaster Ben Fogle. He was the first person to complete the Everest triple crown, comprising Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse, in one push without returning to base camp. Mr Cool was told he would never walk again unaided after he shattered both heel bones in a rock-climbing accident in 1996.'Non-Sherpa record'
