Because that's like waiting for Mike Rossi to post his marathon photos.
Initially I was going to try writing a detailed report dissecting Jornet's Strava data for his Everest summits because the altitude data looked like it could possibly have been spliced in from somewhere else, explaining the jumps in altitude. However, after looking at his GPS data in more detail and doing some more research, I have come to the conclusion that altitude data is most likely genuine along with the rest of Jornet's GPS files that shows he did NOT reach summit of Everest.
I have also come to the opinion that Suunto watches are not suitable for use recording record attempts (legitimate or not) since there can be major data and safety issues with its FusedAlti that gives widely incorrect altitude when it is supposed to prevent exactly this type of thing from occurring:

I've still not received any reply back from Suunto from last year for reporting that some of their watches don't record cadence values with certain digits leading to Sun to cadence data with Swiss cheese patterns that look like it could have been faked.
I wrote a post on his page asking when the film would be out. He never published it.
So I e-mailed the contact form, asking. Ignored. I say he's a fake and fraud.
