For this project I had to run three consecutive mountain ultramarathons followed by mountaineering my way up to the top of Switzerland straight after the last ultra with no sleep in between (in 4h 30min from Monte Rosa Hut). Extreme exhaustion and lack of sleep combined with the altitude (a third less of oxigen available) while climbing on a exposed ridge... It wasn't easy, not gonna lie, but it was extremely rewarding.
