As you may know already Kilian Jornet made it to the top of Everest without the assistance of oxygen or fixed ropes in an FKT (Fastest Known Time) of 26 hours. To put that in perspective experienced climbers take days to reach the top from base camp. He had some stomach issues so did not get the record coming down as he stopped at Advanced Base Camp. This all done on a weekend when 4 people died on Everest. Not sure some people will get the magnitude of what he did.
