Summits of My Life: Daring Adventures on the World's Greatest Peaks

The endurance athlete dubbed "the all-terrain human" by the New York Times pursues his most dangerous and personal project to date.

To take hold of the dreams of his youth and to experience the might and purity of the mountains, champion ultrarunner and mountaineer Kilian Jornet sets his sights on the ascent and descent records of the world's most legendary peaks-Denali, Mont Blanc, Aconcagua, the Matterhorn, Elbrus, and even the mighty Everest-all without supplemental oxygen. Accompanied by close friends and personal heroes, Jornet shares in his own words and in breathtaking photographs what each mountain demands and ultimately offers in return.

Jornet's passionate and ambitious quest makes it clear why National Geographic has twice named him an Adventurer of the Year. Summits of My Life is a five-year project that illuminates not only the spectacular beauty of the mountains but also the life-changing power of daring, loss, and dreams fulfilled.
