- Kilian Jornet is a Spanish extreme mountaineer and has set a new world record.
- He has climbed all 82 Alpine peaks over 4000 meters in the Alps.
- The 36-year-old achieved this in just 19 days.
The Spanish extreme mountaineer and trail runner, Kilian Jornet, has broken a world record: He has climbed all 82 peaks that are over 4000 meters high in the Alps - in just 19 days. Two Italians had held the record since 2008. It had taken them 60 days.
This project demanded a lot from him, not only physically but also mentally. Mistakes could be fatal on these routes. During these almost three weeks, Jornet slept an average of five hours a day.
Alpinist friends accompanied the extreme mountaineer on various stages of the route and on a total of 32 of the 82 summits.
The 36-year-old has covered a total of 1207 kilometers and 75,344 meters of altitude - now he wants to recover.
