I'm surprised the new record for Mont Blanc Chamonix > Mont Blanc > Chamonix hasn't found its way onto here yet... 4h 57mins!

That is pacey. Is there any film of it (I find FB horrid to navigate) ?

Not more than a warm-up for Kilian... quite literally, as 3 days later he won the Ice Trail Tarentaise, which is something silly like 60km and 2500m altitude gain, mostly at altitude and with no trails to speak of...
