Sometimes, pushing limits means seeing the familiar in a new way. When Kilian Jornet returned to his homeland of the Pyrenees, he sought a challenge. One that was both beautiful and demanding. With only a rough GPX track and the help of friends and locals, he traversed all the major 3,000m peaks in 8 days—witnessing glacial retreat and rediscovering the wild mountains of his childhood.
The behind the scenes film will show Jornet out of his usual environment and follow the athlete’s world tour last year. It will also look at an unusual year in the life of Kilian Jornet, who suffered two injuries and managed to complete some sports projects he had had in mind for a long time, in addition to receiving great news: his future fatherhood.
Horia Colibasanu is a dentist, father of two boys and elite climber. In 2008, he refused to abandon, at 7400 meters on the Annapurna, his sick companion, the Basque mountaineer Iñaki Ochoa de Olza, implanted his own life in danger. His action dazzled the climbing community. Despite this tragic incident, he continued to climb in pure alpine style, without supplemental oxygen. In 2017, the 40-year-old Romanian athlete will return to Everest, after two unsuccessful attempts. For the first time, Horia is attempting a solo ascent.
Surrounded by the mountains and people who are his inspiration, in ‘Path to Everest’, the mountain athlete Kilian Jornet reveals his most intimate fears, contradictions and passions. Summits of My Life is the personal project of Kilian Jornet, in which for five years he has traveled to some of the most important peaks of the planet to try to establish FKT (fastest known time) of ascent and descent of some of the most emblematic mountains of the world. The project is closely linked to values and a way of understanding the purist and minimalist mountain. The experiences lived in each challenge have been captured in different films.
Kilian Jornet is considered the greatest mountain runner ever. But he doesn’t consider himself a runner. Join Kilian in his new backyard in Norway as he attempts to ski and run the Seven Summits of Romsdalen in a single day, a 77 kilometre route with 9,000 metres of elevation gain.
