Mount Vinson, 4,892m
This is the highest peak in Antartica and it lies in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains. Vinson is surrounded by the great white snowy expanse of Antartica, affording views very different to other mountains.
The Eiger, 3,967m

"Climbing is such a great sport to be part of, in fact, it’s definitely more of a way of life than a sport. There are so many aspects to it; it’s got to be one of the most diverse activities in the world – each climb is quite different from another. For me the special thing about climbing is the places I have travelled to and the people I have met. Climbing has totally defined my life for about 20 years and I feel enriched for that."

“Kenton and I got to know one another and in the meantime I became a father. I woke up one day and thought ‘I’m telling my children to pursue their dreams and not to be held back by society’s expectations or by your own lack of confidence’ and here in the back of my mind was this burning desire to try Everest”.
Ben Fogle, Summited Everest with Kenton on 16th May 2018
“Kenton Cool is without doubt the most formidable mountaineer of his generation”.
