Discover how elite mountain runners like Kilian Jornet and Courtney Dauwalter navigate technical terrain where one wrong step means a thousand-foot fall, all while their bodies struggle with oxygen levels that would incapacitate most people. Learn about altitude adaptation, the specialized skills needed for technical scrambling, and the mental fortitude required for 20+ hours of constant decision-making in environments where rescue may be impossible. Experience the profound beauty and deadly challenges of ultrarunning where eagles fear to tread.
