>Kilian Jornet, a renowned Spanish endurance athlete, climbed from the Tibetan side of Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen or fixed ropes. He climbed the traditional route up the North Face, from Base Camp to the summit, in just 26 hours.
>For perspective, it takes most climbers, using supplemental oxygen and fixed ropes, days to reach the peak. But Jornet isn’t a typical climber. He already holds speed records on Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Aconcagua, Denali, the Matterhorn, and Mont Blanc.
>This was Jornet’s second attempt at Everest. In September 2016 he was turned back by adverse weather conditions.

If you can't appreciate an amazing feat go fuck yourself.

I wonder if he left any trash behind. That would be the first thing I'd ask him.

I wonder if he wore milsurp

>t. Kilian Jornet.

I wonder how many clif bars he consumed

>>1021883
I wanna climb mountains, not beat numbers. It's sad that Ueli Steck died, but I really didn't like his style of number-alpinism. The best mountaineer to date is still Messner
>>
>>1022232
This. Messner did it without bottled oxygen and without any kind of support on the mountain.
>>
>>1022562
So did Jornet, etc.
>>
Pls explain me why is /out/ trying to diminish this guy feat?
>>
>>1022579
4chan contrarianism.
>>
>>1022572
No he didn't. He had an entire team looking after his every need so that he could ascent and descent the mountain as fast as possible. Messner went out there on his own, without support, into what was pretty much uncharted territory.

Climbed all 14 mostly by new routes, often in winter, using 2nd hand/home-made equipment, several times sneaking up 8000'ers without a permit for lack of shekels.

I guess his parents must be millionaires.

I think the important question here is:
did he take a Mora?
