Is it possible to climb an 8,000m mountain in two weeks? What sort of acclimatization 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 acclimatization that could revolutionize climbing. Would it work?

Kilian Jornet wrote as a child a list of all the races he would like to win and all the mountains he dreamed of climbing. In May 2017 he crossed off the last top of the list by completing a historic double ascent of Everest alone, without oxygen and in one go. It was the culmination of the Summits of My Life project, which for five years has taken him to spectacular peaks around the planet accompanied by a small group of climbers. Path to Everest' reviews the path that has taken Kilian Jornet to the highest peak in the world, discovering his most intimate face with his fears, his contradictions and his illusions to continue looking for new challenges that allow him to continue dreaming, always surrounded by mountains and those that inspire him.
