No Impossible: A Story of Courage and Resilience

The life of Kilian Jornet, a famous Catalan athlete, is inseparably connected with the mountains. As early as five years old, with his parents he climbed two of the highest peaks of the Pyrenees—Aneto and Posets—and by the age of ten he had conquered all the summits in the Pyrenees.

Today, Kilian is a world champion in skyrunning, a three-time UTMB champion (the ultratrail around Mont Blanc), and the world champion in ski mountaineering. He holds several records in different forms of mountain sports. At thirty, Kilian set new goals for himself, including in climbing, and carried out the grand project “The Peaks of My Life,” in which he surprised the world with a legendary double ascent of Everest—without oxygen.

Jornet has repeatedly tested the limits of human endurance: before him, many things had seemed simply impossible. And it isn’t luck or coincidence—he has trained both body and mind since childhood.

After conquering the world’s main peak (and a number of others), Kilian Jornet shares his thoughts in this book. It’s about loyalty to a dream, freedom, love for mountains, friends and mentors—and about the fact that the path itself, difficult and dangerous, is more important than conquering a summit.
