Season 6, Episode 85
Kilian Jornet is one of the greatest mountain athletes in history, a world champion sky runner, legendary alpinist, and endurance icon who keeps redefining what's possible in the mountains. His latest project, States of Elevation, is a staggering 31-day journey linking 72 14,000-foot peaks across the continental United States, all under human power. He crossed some of North America's most rugged terrain, including Colorado's endless mountain ranges and the Nolan's 14 route, to the rugged Sierra Nevada of California, to Washington's volcanic giants like Mt. Rainier. It was a monumental test of endurance, resilience, and spirit, but it was also reflective of Kilian's deep connection to wild places and his ongoing search for meaning through effort and exploration.
