In this episode of Dinner with the Macleans, the brothers are joined by one of the most accomplished mountaineers in history - Kenton Cool, who’s summited Everest an astonishing 19 times.

Recorded from the middle of the Pacific Ocean, this is a rare crossover between the world’s highest peaks and deepest waters. From shift patterns and food rations to expedition morale and mental resilience, Kenton shares his hard-won philosophies on adventure, challenge, and how to keep going when the darkness sets in.

There’s also talk of hair ties, freeze-dried reindeer stew, and why bagpipes might be the most surprising piece of expedition kit yet.
