Re: Kilian Jornet Sets Everest Fastest Known Time
Looks like a couple corrections are needed. He started from the north side base camp not the monestary as his original plan was. No hillary step on the north side. That is his ascent time, not RT.

Kammerlander was also carrying skis (at least to 300m below the summit).

Re: Kilian Jornet Sets Everest Fastest Known Time
O3 is kinda your buddy at extreme elevations, unless you are a fan of your DNA being damaged by UVBs.

Re: Kilian Jornet Sets Everest Fastest Known Time
Seems like he summited Everest again. From his blog-
Kilian Jornet summited Mount Everest twice in a week without using supplemental oxygen. For this ascent, Kilian Jornet left on May 27th from Advanced Base Camp (6.500m) and it took him 17 hours to the summit in a very windy day. From there, he returned to the Advanced Base Camp where he is resting with Seb Montaz. More info soon. #OurEverest
