Dimecres 3 de setembre va escomençar el nou repte de Kilian Jornet d’enllaçar els vint-i-quatre “14ers” a l’Oest Americà.
Nota de premsa: Kilian has officially kicked off the challenge!
Hi everyone, excited to share that Kilian has officially kicked off the challenge! 🏃🏻♂️
On day one, he took on one of the most iconic routes: the LA Freeway. Along the traverse, he summited 24 peaks, including Longs Peak—the highest peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, and now the very first 14er of the project.
Kyle Richardson joined Kilian for the summit push on Longs Peak (14,259 feet), before Kilian pressed on solo to complete the entire traverse in just over 16 hours. The thin Colorado air added an extra challenge, as Kilian’s body starts adapting to the demanding high-altitude terrain of the Rockies.
After completing the LA Freeway, Kilian jumped on the bike to cover 49 mi / 79 km by bike. Lael Wilcox, ultra-endurance cycling champion, joined Kilian to make the last push south to Echo Lake campground.
