He Wants to Climb Nearly All of Americaβs Tallest Peaks. In a Month. By Scott Cacciola Aug. 31, 2025 Kilian Jornet has spent his life roaming mountains. It is a passion that borders on obsession, and no human has more effectively mastered the various means by which to traverse them. Where to begin? Mr. Jornet, 37, has won multiple world championships in the sport of skyrunning, which is sort of like trail running β except at altitude, which makes it more difficult β and in ski mountaineering, which combines climbing and backcountry skiing. He once reached the summit of Mount Everest twice in one week, without support or supplementary oxygen. He is a four-time winner of the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc, a 106-mile ultramarathon.
