Briton Kenton Cole was able to set a new record for the number of times non-Nepalese climbed the summits of Mount Everest, after he reached the summit of the highest mountain in the world for the seventeenth time, according to “CNN Arabia” website.

Kool reached the summit with Dorje Jeslin Sherpa, a local guide who has climbed Everest several times, and Richard Walker, CEO of the UK-based Icelandic Grocery Store chain..

British climber Cole shared on Instagram a post saying: “The climatic conditions accompanying our ascent to the summit were very cold, which caused frequent technical malfunctions of the communications tracker,” and indicated that “they are resting in Camp 4 before returning to the bottom of the mountain.”

And this week came full of records recorded on the summit of Mount Everest, which was popularly climbed during the month of May. Last Monday, the 46-year-old Pasang Dawa Sherpa reached the summit of the mountain for the 26th time, tying with his compatriot Kami Rita Sherpa for the most number of times reaching the summit. However, this tie did not last more than two days only, as Kami Rita Sherpa managed to climb the summit for the 27th time.

Mountaineering tourism is a huge revenue driver for the country, despite concerns about potential overcrowding on Everest, which poses safety risks.
