Episode Notes
Kilian Jornet joins The Buzz to talk about his States of Elevation project—72 U.S. 14ers in 31 days, covering 400,000+ feet of vert, 600+ miles on foot, and 2,500 miles by bike. He shares what he learned about the American landscape, endurance, and the body’s ability to adapt, plus reflections on public lands, culture, and why the U.S. mountains feel like home.
