Quick Book at Far Peak

K2 – The Savage Mountain
There is no mountain in the world that strikes fear into climbers quite like K2. During this evening address, Britain’s most successful Himalayan climber, Kenton Cool, takes audiences on a roller-coaster history of one of the world’s most notorious mountains; from tragic early attempts, to the highly controversial Italian first ascent, through to present day commercialisation and his own nail-biting ascent in 2021. With Kenton’s trademark humour and knowledge, this is definitely one not to be missed!
 
Kenton Cool is one of the world’s leading mountaineers who has a deep love for the big mountains, having climbed extensively around the world, including rock faces and peaks in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. His mountaineering achievements are all the more astonishing when we learn that he was told he would never walk unaided again, after a serious climbing accident in his early twenties.
 
Kenton has spent much of his mountaineering career in the Himalayas, specifically Nepal, and in May 2024 he summited Mount Everest for the 18th time, a non-Sherpa record and an achievement that gained worldwide media coverage.
