Description
Kilian Jornet's record-breaking climb of Mount Everest is the culmination of a life spent studying, tending, and ascending the greatest peaks on earth. In this profound and free-flowing memoir, he contemplates the mountain's changing nature over four seasons and his own existence, seeking answers to the questions that drive us to pursue an authentic and bold life.
Through his poetic yet clearheaded assessment, Jornet illuminates what it means to be an athlete, a competitor, and a human facing the greatest life challenges. He shares his relationship with the mountain, at times his opponent, at others, his greatest muse, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of nature, simplicity, freedom, and spiritual joy.
