National Geographic's Adventurer of the Year voting results are in and the winner is:
Kilian Jornet!
Jornet is leading the field of sky running. And for those of you who don't know what that is, it's a combination of trail running and mountaineering. As NatGeo puts it, "He is... blurring the lines
between trail running and technical climbing at record-shattering
speeds." Climbs that take professionals whole days to complete, takes Jornet mere hours. His records have inspired a new genre of mountaineering, trail running, and racing in general. He broke the Matterhorn record in 2013 climbing and descending the 14,692 foot peak in 2 hours and 52 minutes!
Check out his acceptance
video! He's so genuine!
