>Kilian Jornet, a renowned Spanish endurance athlete, climbed from the Tibetan side of Everest without the use of supplemental oxygen or fixed ropes. He climbed the traditional route up the North Face, from Base Camp to the summit, in just 26 hours. >For perspective, it takes most climbers, using supplemental oxygen and fixed ropes, days to reach the peak. But Jornet isn’t a typical climber. He already holds speed records on Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Aconcagua, Denali, the Matterhorn, and Mont Blanc. >This was Jornet’s second attempt at Everest. In September 2016 he was turned back by adverse weather conditions.

>>1021883 I wanna climb mountains, not beat numbers. It's sad that Ueli Steck died, but I really didn't like his style of number-alpinism. The best mountaineer to date is still Messner

>>1022232 This. Messner did it without bottled oxygen and without any kind of support on the mountain.

>>1022572 No he didn't. He had an entire team looking after his every need so that he could ascent and descent the mountain as fast as possible. Messner went out there on his own, without support, into what was pretty much uncharted territory.
