Conversations had the right way. Welcome to 'Cool Conversations' hosted by Kenton Cool.

Kenton is one of the world’s leading high-altitude climbers, and a highly engaging and inspiring motivational speaker.

In short, he's got lots of stories to tell, and it's on Cool Conversations where he shares them.

  • Sevan Garo: Starting the Conversation
    Sep 2 2025

    We have another outdoor special for you this week, recorded near Chamonix in Servos. Kenton chats to Sev Garo, an artist and sculptor who is inspired by glaciers.

    Sev explains how he aims to capture the energy of glaciers through his art and how he hopes his work helps to start conversations about climate change and glacial melt. Sev tells Kenton how he initially came up with the idea to design unique pieces of jewellery from the surface detail of glaciers and the process he follows to create this wearable art.

    Take a look at Sev's work on his website: www.garogosi.com

  • TFTT: The Eiger
    Aug 19 2025

    Tales from the Trails (TFTT) is back and this time Kenton is on the Eiger in the Swiss Alps.

    Kenton talks us through his ascent of the 3,967m Eiger, with his client Marco. They ascend via the Mittellegi ridge and descend via the South Ridge on an absolutely beautiful summer's day with views for miles. Having not done this particular climb since 2009, Kenton is reminded that it is not a walk in the park!

    Listen now to experience the Eiger through Kenton's eyes.

  • Anna McNuff: Adventurous Commitment
    Aug 5 2025

    Welcome to a previously untested podcast format (for us!) - a walk and talk. Kenton recorded this episode with adventurer, writer and super-mum, Anna McNuff, whilst walking on Leckhampton Hill in Gloucestershire, and it really is a cool conversation!

    Anna and her husband, Jamie McDonald (another adventurer), have recently decided to sell their house in Gloucester and live a more nomadic lifestyle with their three children. As you will hear, Anna has undertaken many adventures and she wants her children to experience life a bit differently.

    Kenton and Anna discuss her thinking behind this big change, and they also cover a broad range of subjects including Madagascar (the film!), squats, Mum duty, trains, unschooling, mini-adventures, big adventures and Gloucestershire geography... You're in for a treat!

    This conversation is interspersed with dog chats, hellos to other walkers, and some wind noise - we hope you don't mind. Let us know what you think of the format!
