His name is Killian Jornet.
Do you know who he is?
No.
He's an extreme ultra mountain climber.
He just did all the 14,000-foot mountains in the continental United States in 31 days without a car.
He went from mountain to mountain with his bike, OK?
His cumulative, I think it's 61 14,000-foot peaks.
I don't have the bike mileage right.
It might be something ridiculous like, well, it's thousands of miles on the bike.
400,000 vertical feet.
I mean, he basically just went nonstop for 31 days, climbing mountains back down, riding his bike, get to the next one, climb up, back down.
I mean, I've done 14ers.
They're hard.
I mean, after I've done even an easy one, I need a couple days, you know?
And this guy's like, bang, bang, bang.
Rainier is how he finished.
And with Rainier, because I did it with this same daughter a few years ago,
If you do it with a climbing company, you're going to start at, I think 5,000 feet is where they bring you by car.
Well, he didn't start at 5,000 feet.
He rode his bike up to 5,000 feet.
