Kenton Cool: Profile
We were thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate with world-leading mountaineer, adventurer and motivational speaker, Kenton Cool, on our latest jewellery series - the Everest Collection.
As a global leader in high-altitude climbing and mountaineering, and with a celebrated reputation as a inspiring speaker for business, we were naturally eager to engage with Kenton’s work and join forces in order to energise our passion for adventure, the outdoors, and the importance of celebrating our natural environment.
Kenton’s impressive achievements - including 14 successful climbs of Everest - are evidence of the joy and passion for the mountains which we hope to share with our brand community.
Everest is no mean feat, and one of the world’s most uncompromising, merciless landscapes. From its physical and logistical complexities to the relentless organisation, preparation, equipment and scheduling required, this is a challenge deserving of both wisdom and sincere respect of the dangers involved. What can be achieved, however, is an all-encompassing and endlessly inspiring journey through Nature, and indeed of ourselves.
As the epitome of ‘adventure’, we naturally couldn’t resist a chance to get involved and to collaborate with Kenton on an expedition. Introduced through friends, we began discussions on how we could combine Kenton’s experience and expertise with our creative practice: for us, this presented an incredible opportunity to scale new heights and shared experiences, both literally and artistically.
Since his career as a professional and recognised mountaineer began, Kenton has continued to receive numerous accolades and commendations for his work, both on the mountain and on-stage as a motivational speaker to industry giants.
His partnerships and collaboration with campaigns such as the Olympic Pledge and Everest Triple Crown are a testament to his dedication and sheer love of the outdoors and thirst for adventure - something we share in and are so inspired by at Garogosi.
Check out Kenton’s page, ‘Cool Conversations’ series, and social media accounts to follow on the journey of one of this generation’s greatest adventurers!

BBC News (10 August 2020)
Reports on the latest research into Antarctic Ice Shelves are evidencing increasingly precise history and documentation of its ice melting.
25 years of satellite records have been compiled to construct the most detailed history of the continent’s ice platforms and their melting. These formations are floating protrusions of glaciers which flow off and surround the land.
Since 1994, the ice formations have shed approximately 4,000 gigatons - an amount that comes close to being able to fill the American Grand Canyon. This rate of ice melt is excessive of that needed to naturally balance the ice sheet, and while this new research provides key information and advanced detail for analysis, the underlying indicator is the increased rate and effects of climate change…
