Exclusive Interview with Kilian Jornet


Listen Later

An exclusive interview with Kilian Jornet, an athlete whose feats almost defy description. A multiple ski mountaineering world champion and a trail and ultra running legend, Kilian has set speed records on numerous mountains - most recently his 19-day challenge to climb all 82 4000m peaks of the Alps, a classification recognised by the UIAA.


In this interview, Kilian discusses: the logistical and physical challenges of that feat; the current initiatives of Kilian Jornet Foundation which focus on the environment, youth engagement and inclusion; his thoughts on the importance of ethics in mountaineering; reflections on some of his notable achievements including his time on Everest.
