Kilian Jornet is the dominant mountain runner of all time and among the world's greatest athletes. In search of inspiration outside formal competition, Kílian embarked on a self-styled adventure project dubbed Summits of My Life-establishing the fastest known recorded times ("FKT") to ascend and descend the world's most challenging peaks, including the Matterhorn, Kilimanjaro, Mont Blanc, Denali and even the planet's tallest summit. Six days after he summitted Everest, he repeated the performance-an accomplishment for which he was named Adventurer of the Year by National Geographic. He lives in Norway.
