Not an outstanding masterpiece, but a solid documentary about an exceptional athlete. It is nice to experience the different facets of the character Kilian Jornet and insights into private life. An athlete who is best known in the mountaineering scene, but who receives too little attention in the mountain history than he should actually be entitled to.

A warm hearted person
Excellent documentary
Covers a lot more than just the Everest summits. It's a very honest account of Kilian's motivation & driving force, inner demons, his entourage and how the people who love him try to keep him alive and balanced, all the while knowing he could die tomorrow, as well as his struggle with his public image of mountain VO2 max superstar. In many ways, very similar to Free Solo. Both excellent documentaries about mountain lovers who are challenging human limits and inspiring a generation. The probably both feel they're just odd-balls who like climbing and aspire to nothing more, but for millions, they're symbols of human accomplishments.
Good movie for mountain lovers and useful for mothers of exceptional children
I really appreciated the movie for the human experience of Kilian's mother, Kilian's girlfriend and Kilian himself. I also very much appreciated the explanations given by Josep Serra and Seb Montaz at the end of the movie. It is very precious and it is a real treat to have access to mountain summits during covid-19 lockdown. Wonderful initiative. Thanks for sharing.
