United Kingdom4 months ago - Extremely good!
Being someone who spends a lot of time in the outdoors, I don’t really listen to any other podcasts about mountaineering, climbing, skiing etc. as they get a bit monotonous, but Cool Conversations is one not to miss.
It’s miraculous to hear Kenton’s continued enthusiasm after being a guide for so long.
Had the pleasure of meeting him a few months ago when my MR team was fundraising at one of his events. Seems a great guy.

Just been to Kenton’s Everest:The untold Story.
Brilliant in the way he was able to bring together all those epic tales under one roof, so to speak, delivered with passion and humour it was a riveting couple of hours.
I didn’t make base camp, only Tengboche monastery but am inspired to return.
(I’ve now shaken hands of two Everest summiteers Fentons and Doug Scott.)

Wonderful guests and excellent interviews. I have been binge listening whilst shoveling the endless 2023 California snow - you make it easy to keep going - Merci!

I have been following Kenton for a while to feel inspired with all things involving mountains/mindset and adventure. Met him personally a few weeks back at a talk and he was gracious to give me a few minutes of his time. Have a listen be inspired and think about what you could achieve…. Whilst driving on the M4
