first ascents. He is the first Briton to ski down from the summit of two 8,000 metre peaks, a height considered by mountaineers to be the ‘death zone’, where no human body can acclimatise due to the low levels of oxygen.
In 2007 Kenton became the first British Guide to lead a client successfully up the infamous North Face of the Eiger, commonly referred to as the ‘Death Wall’. The client was Sir Ranulph Fiennes and the summit attempt was in aid of the cancer charity Marie Curie. Their success raised an incredible £2 million for the charity.
