Beni SpeedTransalp

For this route from Ruhpolding (GER) to Kasern (ITA), 210 kilometers and more than 10000 meters of vert, recreational athletes need approximately five to seven days. Benedikt Boehm is aiming for the magic time limit of 36 hours, non-stop. The risk of complete exhaustion is very big during this project. In 2006, Beni did this same route on touring skis together with five colleagues. With the name of “Hannibal,” the six athletes broke the then-record time of three days for the route.

My take

A relentless pursuit of human limits. Watch as Benedikt Boehm attempts to shatter his own legend by crossing 210km and 10,000m of Alpine vertical in 36 hours non-stop—a meditation on obsession, endurance, and what happens when ambition meets exhaustion.
