Kilian Jornet has been designated as “Adventurer of the Year 2014” by the famous American magazine National Geographic
 
In an open voting procedure which recorded the highest number of votes in the history of the award, Jornet was awarded the prize for the milestones achieved within the scope of the Summits of My Life project.
 
“Being designated adventurer of the year by National Geographic is important to me.  It is an acknowledgement from the publication I have read since I was very young which shares the same values that I hold dear: nature, adventure... The most exciting aspect of this prize is that it is awarded by the general public. Feeling that what I do can inspire others and drive them to go out and fulfil their dreams is truly motivating and important,” said Kilian Jornet.
