5 Weeks to Go: Kenton Cool on Everest

from Project Salt Run · host Project Salt Run

We sit down with mountaineer and guide Kenton Cool, a man with 19 Everest summits and a lifetime of stories. From a dirt-bag first trip to Pakistan for £500 to shattering both heels and rebuilding purpose, Kenton talks community, identity, and the head game that gets you through the hard bits. We get into the Everest “Triple Crown,” the 40 percent rule, perfection vs progress, and a clear-eyed look at climate and glaciers.We’re currently raising money to make this expedition possible. EVERY Pound raised on Crowdfunder gets us closer to being able to reach India. Hannah will run 100 marathons in 100 days, covering 4,200 km, to raise £1,000,000 for 1% for the Planet on Givestar.  This journey is a powerful testament to the potential within all of us to make a real difference.Like the Podcast?

Hannah Cox, a sustainability advocate with Indian heritage and a first-time runner, will undertake a life-changing challenge across India, following the historic Inland Customs Line. This colonial-era boundary enforced a devastating salt tax, causing immense suffering and millions of deaths, but has been largely forgotten from history.By retracing this route, Hannah seeks to honour its legacy and transform its meaning, inviting others to discover their own version of extraordinary. This journey is not about guarantees of success—Hannah faces the real possibility of failure—but it’s a powerful reminder that taking bold steps, even in uncertainty, can inspire meaningful change.Want More? Want to get involved in Project Salt Run?
