A considerable achievement.

Matched only by his name, and the fact his wife is called 'Jazz Cool'.

That is quite an achievement.

Bonita Norris would certainly be worth scaling too!

Absolutely, on both accounts! But using a ladder? Is that not a tad of a cheat!-->

My brother-in-law is planning to summit on Sunday. Weather has been the worst in years apparently so the fact Kenton's summited now is doubly impressive.

The fire service have loaned him a computer and sat-broadband thingy so he's been keeping a blog of his ascent - same party as Josh Lewsey.

Here if anyone is interested. http://jdaviesoneverest.blogspot.com/

I won't mention to his wife about the 22 year old

Bonita is a friend of mine from University.

It's an amazing achievement by her seeing that 18 months ago she hadn't even started climbing.

Check out her blog to learn abit more about her.

There are some bits where there is little alternative, as you can see in this YouTube video.

That video might be a bit of a problem if you don't like heights.
