A few of us took note of this when it happened back in Sept. but I was unable to put it into context here. His run on the Grand is likely better understoof by the NA locals.

This should help with the Innominata climb.



"Kilian Jornet, 25, one of the world's great endurance runners, has speed soloed
the long, technical and exposed Innominata on the Italian side of Mont
Blanc in a scant 6:17. The time is amazing on many levels. While technically the
climb is easier than the north faces of the Eiger or the Matterhorn, the scale
is much greater and the objective dangers are higher. Jornet, who is not even
known as a climber, started from the church in Courmayeur at roughly 3,300 feet
and ran the 12,000 feet to the summit of Mont Blanc, then ran over 12,000 feet
down the French side arriving at the church in Chamonix in a total time of 8:43."



There is more and worth a look.

Rock and Ice."
