The King of the Mountains
"The King of the Mountains", a label often associated with men on two wheels in the Tour de France; however, there's now a new kid on the block - meet Kilian Jornet.
For the vast majority of us, the thought of climbing to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro is exhausting enough in it's self, but for Spanish endurance enthusiast Jornet - he's the fastest man to ever run up and down it!
A world champion in ultra-running, climbing and ski mountaineering - he has been described as 'the most dominant endurance athlete of his generation.'
