"Kilian Jornet is always up to something: Breaking the records for the fastest ascent and descent on Mount Everest, winning some of the biggest ultramarathons in the world—including the 2017 Hardrock Endurance Run in a sling—and living his best life with his wife Emelie Forsberg in the mountains of Norway.
This time around, Jornet challenged his ski partner and world-class BASE jumper Tom Erik Heimen, 44, of Norway, to a race up and down one of the most-iconic climbing mountains in the world: Romsdalshorn. Sitting at more than 5,000 feet, both would have to climb up between 1,300 to 1,500 feet and descend to be declared the winner—Jornet doing so on foot and Heimen BASE-jumping down to the bottom."
This video is 10 minutes long, but I found it really fun and inspiring to watch! It's from an article on Runner's World, which also has a short video about Kilian's Everest trip, from which the quote in my title is taken 😊
I spent most of that trying to work out which one was the most bonkers! Think as the base jumper went off the top I worked it out... there’s not enough money in the world to get me to do that! Amazing blokes.
I wouldn't contemplate either jumping off a mountain or climbing up a mountain face without ropes (or actually with ropes come to think of it), so I suppose that for me, Tom Erik has the nutty edge 😄
I sure wish I could run up and down hills like Kilian does though, *sigh*...
