Yes, I did. He failed, yet, oddly, it's still being promoted heavily as a success. Why is that do you think that is? Do you think maybe the reason Kilian is paid to do this (did he buy all his gear and pay for any of what he is doing?) and why Solomon is involved is not about loving mountains? What exactly does climbing the garbage dump of bodies and refuse that is Everest have to do with loving mountains? This is all about money, and you are an idiot if you think otherwise.

You mad bro?

Yeah, PISSED, Brooo.

I mean, I'm outraged, Outraged! that somebody is profiting on this obviously sacred Nepalese ground! How dare we westerners desecrate some hallowed ground that these sherpas clearly need no help in desecrating all by themselves!

"For a hundred G's, I'll take you up twice and wipe your ass real good!!"

Try the Kangshung face, sans oxygen, for impressive Everest feats, otherwise, BORING!!!

I thought it was twice in 5 days? I guess it depends on how you count the days. Start of first climb to finish of second climb. Or summit of first climb to summit of second climb.

Fwiw, some Indian woman summitted Everest twice in 5 days while Jornet was on the mountain.

Be patient and chill.

I'll give him another week to upload the data from his Suunto (a sponsor) to Strava (a sponsor with the slogan "If it's not on Strava, it didn't happen").

And then what?

His GPS data is up.

Clearly he has a record of the fastest climb of Everest from the lowest start point of any climber. I don't think any Everest speed record can be counted if they start at a mid way without a big disclaimer (started at Camp "X").

Somebody needs to install a yellow gate at the bottom of Everest (Barkley style). The timer starts there.....if you want to summit twice best be getting back to that gate between efforts.

The attempt starts when Fake Laz sparks up his Malboro.

You know who doesn't care what you think? Every alpinist ever.

"Every alpinest ever", are you really Robert Young?

Who doesn't care about Alpinism? Every runner ever. Go post on r/FKTs

How about you tell us all about the great (and unselfish) accomplishments in your life?

I gave $20 to a homeless man. That's was orders of magnitude better than what that narcissistic Jornet did.

How do you knew it was real homeless and not some lazy ass?

how do you know he did not spent it on drugs / alcohol?

People need to give food and supplies or clothing or jobs to homeless people.

Many of them spend it in bs, or are not really homeless.
