Kilian Jornet

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?

Horia Colibasanu is a dentist, a father of two boys and an elite climber. In 2008, he refused to abandon, at 7400 meters on Annapurna, his ill fellow, the Basque climber Inaki Ochoa de Olza, putting his own life at risk. His deed dazzled the climbers' community. In spite of this tragic incident, he continued to climb in pure alpine style, without supplemental oxygen. In 2017 the 40 years old athlete from Romania would set again for Everest, after two failed attempts. For the first time, Horia tries a solo ascent.

In the early morning of a middle summer day of 2013 the ultra-athlete Nico Valsesia reached the summit of Mont Blanc (4810m). But Nico wasn't an alpinist like the many others with him that morning. He conquered the highest summit of Europe after a no-stop riding almost 17h long, started the day before by bicycle from a beach in Genoa. The film also reviews several past record ascents to Mont Blanc, made by Kilian Jornet, Marino Giacometti, and Andrea Daprai.

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.
