From Mont Blanc to Mount Elbrus, experience the peaks from the breathtaking perspective of skyrunner Kilian Jornet and his friends.

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.

Is it possible to climb an 8,000m mountain in two weeks? What sort of acclimatisation is necessary and how does it affect the body? These are the questions Kilian Jornet and Emelie Forsberg were asking themselves. To find the answer they set off to climb Cho Oyu using a new method of acclimatisation that could revolutionise climbing. Would it work?
