By Robin Deering, Updated

This trailer arrived from great heights into our hands, the short video gives a glimpse into ultra athlete Kilian Jornet current project 'Summit of My Life'.
The idea for Summit of My Life was born right here in Chamonix, Mont Blanc when Kilian set out on two world firsts, first traversing the Mont Blanc massif from East to West on skis,and then from South to North arriving in Chamonix through a mixture of climbing and running.

The trailer is full of emotions, and with film-maker Seb Montaz behind the lens the project promises a passionate journey following Kilian Jornet as he continues with more record-breaking summit attempts, including a speed attempt for the Mont Blanc summit, and climaxing with an Everest attempt.
