British mountaineer Kenton Cool has successfully completed his record-breaking 16th summit of Mount Everest .
The Gloucestershire climber became the First Person to complete the 8,849m (29,032ft) peak 16 times on Saturday.
In his previous 15 trips up Everest, he has been a guide to other well-known mountaineers, including Sir Ranulph Fiennes and broadcaster Ben Fogle .
Mr Fogle said for the 48-year-old " to climb Everest once was a Trial - to climb it 16 times is heroic. "
He was the First Person to complete The Everest Triple Crown , comprising Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse, in one push without returning to base camp.
He was also The First British guide to lead a client to The Summit of K2, The World 's second highest mountain.
Mr Cool was told he would never walk again unaided after he shattered both heel bones in a rock-climbing accident in 1996.
He has defied those predictions after a year of surgery and therapy, but still has chronic pain.
'Non-Sherpa record'Ahead of his push to The Summit , Mr Cool said conditions were looking good, with a " great weather forecast" and a " great team".
" Overconfidence on A Mountain like Everest is a dangerous thing, so nothing is assured Until You 're back down at base camp, " He Said .
" Fingers crossed we'll be at base camp in about Three Days and we might be able to crack a beer and celebrate Rebecca's first summit, my 16th summit and a successful descent by all the Sherpa team. "
A post on Mr Cool 's Instagram page read: " Summit successful.
" Kenton and Team have reached The Summit of Chomolungma, Sagarmatha, Mt Everest.
" This marks KC's 16th summit, a non-Sherpa record. "
