Reviews

"Inspiring and humbling… A raw, honest account of what it's like to climb the biggest mountains in the world. [Above the Clouds] reveals what the human body is capable of." – ALEX HONNOLD
"Kilian Jornet is the most dominating endurance athlete of his generation." – NEW YORK TIMES
"Kílian’s motivation isn’t what you might imagine. It has nothing to do with race results. And his happiness derives not from victory. Instead, it’s adventure that sparks Kílian’s joy. Immersion in nature. Living outside the comfort zone. And always, always exploring." – RICH ROLL
