Join David Lama from advanced basecamp to summit on his successful solo push for the first ascent of Lunag Ri, a previously unclimbed peak of 6.907meters on the borderline between Nepal and Tibet. On 23 October 2018 the Austrian with Nepali heritage set out carrying a POV camera and was followed by a drone navigated from advanced BC.
Check out the documentary "David Lama & Conrad Anker walk the line“ on the dramatic happenings during the 2015 & 2016 attempts on Lunag Ri: • Lunag Ri - David Lama ...
Devastated that we lost him. Thank you for so much inspiration.
@23chrisfm Me too. Damn. His videography was great.
I really loved that this video had no background music .... Deafening sound of freedom!
RIP David Lama. You’ve climbed the highest and the most beautiful summits. We will miss you.
"What matters to me is that I can stand behind my decisions and actions. Obviously, a series of misfortunes can lead to a fatal end on any of my adventures. There is no point in denying that fact. It is my willingness to commit that demonstrates the total conviction of my actions, and that gives great personal value to my alpinism." David Lama May you,Jess and Hansjorg climb the highest mountains of heaven. Rest in peace great humble man!
Can we look forward to a longer version of this? Amazing
One of the best in the world in my unprofessional opinion. What's weird is he and his buds died on a relatively small mountain compared to the beast mts he conquered. It proves even experts can die on mountains outside the biggest mountain's.
@@scottinnh88 Yeah, it's sad that for all of the amazing shit he accomplished he was taken out by a random avalanche. Well, maybe not so sad, we should all be so lucky to die doing the the thing we love to do.
@@scottinnh88 Small but a very technically challenging peak
Scott F an avalanche can’t see if you are professional climber or not.
Nishant Singh It is NOT a 'small' peak. What Howse Peak lacks in elevation is countered by a very substantial ~4000 foot, mostly vertical climb. They chose a new route, no doubt one with unique challenges. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howse_Peak
You turned back down twice before but never gave up....simply in awe of you, David!
Love from Nepal. You are missed. RIP
That is one really scary mountain and summit. What makes this even more impressive is that it was a solo climb. RIP David, you died way too young, but at least you lived your amazing life to the full.
RIP. My heart is broken at the news. Another legend in the mountaineering world gone too soon. No doubt hes climbing in the heavens with Ueli and so many others!
Adam Lamphere it’s Ueli
Adam Lamphere accept islam before you die. beleive me it is the only way out. pleaseee
Aqib Nazir accept Islam? Get the fuck out of here you heretic 🖕🏼
You have inspired many of us David... you won't stop doing what you loved, so instead of saying rest I prefer to say #ClimbInPeace!!!
If you want to do something exceptional, obsession is a necessity. Congratulations, absolutely incredible.
Thank you David for making much less courageous people dream about mountains
i love that he doesnt say a word just looks into the camera for a while
You have always challenged the unconquered peaks by your strong determination and passion towards mountaineering. Congratulations for summiting lunag ri solo, one of the toughest climb in himalyas.
toughest climb in the Himalayas? do you know the technical grade yet?
@@mpreiss7780 I don't know as I am not an expert in mountaineering, but have heard lunag ri was unclimbed before david lama conquered it for the first time.
You only hear the wind whistling, just pure modesty. I love it. I feel so much awe of this amazing mountains and Davids humbleness! R.I.P.
thank you for uploading this video it is breathtaking.
fantastic and so good of you to share the clips....what a milestone in your mountaineering career and a true first.
This is amazing. Hoping for longer version. Congratulations David!!

I'm an old Kiwi who loves the mountains and climbed a few. This is the most wonderful video on our passion that I've ever seen. RIP David and I'd love to meet you along the many new trails in the afterlife.
Simply great and impressive! Thanks for uploading!👍🍀
Oh my god! David Lama is awesome! Was watching is the bids from his earlier attempts to this summit just a few days ago and had no idea at the time of his 28.10. success! Congrats! Super gemacht David! Weiter so!
Incredible climb. Thank you for such a raw, real and breathtaking video.
You are always my inspiration. What a legend.
Congrats, a truly outstanding feat of human ability! The video of you free-solo dry tooling in the 2016 attempt is one of the most jaw dropping pieces of climbing I've seen.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu der Erstbesteigung! Die Ausdauer und Zielstrebigkeit, aber auch die Demut vor dem Berg die Du im Laufe dieses Projekts an den Tag gelegt hast sind wirklich inspirierend. Deine Hartnäckigkeit hat sich endlich ausgezahlt... Wirklich eine herausragende Leistung! Alles Gute Dir und auch alles Gute an Conrad Anker
Felicidades David!!!! Gracias por la inspiración!!!
Congratulations! You've finally summited lunag ri, after many tries.

Congratulations David!Huge respect!💪
Thank you so much for this, David. I will never go where you've gone, but thanks to your work, I'm able to get a glimpse into a very special part of this planet. Be safe, brother!
Thank you David !! You inspired us and taught us so much !! You are my most respectful mountaineer ! It's sad you've gone to farther up high !! Rest In Peace !!
Everyone is talking about Alex Honnold these days and deservedly so but David is doing the same thing just add freezing temps, extreme altitude and remote locations!!! The balls on this guy must get in the way on these ascents. Absolut beast!!!!
David, great what you have done. Thanks for your powerful inspiration to our kids. The will keep your spirit and transport it timeless. We miss you.
Amazing!!!!!! Congratulations, David!!!!!!!!

Amazingly gifted and equally crazy, thanks for the video
Gratuliere David. Geile Linie, geile Tour und ein Tribut an Conrad
You show the world a human in his primal force..which is so beautiful !!!
Savage climb David. That is REAL mountaineering!! Simply amazing!
super Leistung David, mach weiter so. Pass auf das nix passiert und viel glück bei dienen nächsten Projekten!! Will noch viel von dir hören und lesen.
that’s the most epic summit I’ve ever seen... straight up skyrim
You should learn how to use the word epic.
@@dougdavis8986 well thanks dr grammar, thats just what my day could use, some shallow pedantic worthless dickhead pointing out how i should or should not use words. go fuck yourself doug
i'm sure correcting grammatical errors in y.t. comments is really important, but you should find something more constructive to do
Holy fucking shit, overreact much. Just learn to ignore meaningless comments from random idiots instead of making a complete psychopathic fool out of yourself. Thanks, have a nice day.
@@TheFrostySwirl I don't think he overreacted or made a fool out of himself at all. Pointless dickhead comments which are written for nothing more than to come out looking smart, it's self obsessed bullshit. And I thought his reply was very apt.
Wow incredible footage , what an honor to see this video.
Remarkable. Truly amazing. Congratulations.
So awesome, I teared up at the end of the video.
So amazing, incredible, congrats David! I wish Conrad could have been there with you!
Big congratulations David lama! I’m proud of you.
Amazing work. Everything about this is first class. Kudos!
Herzliche Gratulation, David! Was für eine Leistung!
wow... I am waiting for a full documentary!
That is the most exposed summit I have ever seen!
R.I.P David, the world is less without you.
Love the footage!!!
You are a miracle!! Congrats....so amazing 🎉🎉😘
Mr Lama does some of the coolest stuff, maximum respect
Such a fantastic job. Amazing. Words do not describe.
Congratulations David !!
Whoever decided not to put any kind of music behind this... Bravo... Does leave you with your thoughts...and give a sense of the solo journey, and silence.
Wow, what an oustanding performance!!!! Congratulations !!!
Stunning!
What a brave climber, and amazing photography
Congrats on an amazing climb. This is so moving. I was hanging on just watching. Peace from Alaska.✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
Knap hoor wat een lef heeft deze man en wat een prachtig uitzicht .👍🏻

That summit is truly mind-blowing.
What you did is incredible!!!
That´s some epic footage!!!
Thoroughly deserved, absolutely amazing. Biggest balls in the world, mahussive!
Just being up there on the mountain alone must have been such an overwhelmingly clear experience. Only you, the snow, ice, and the rock. I can't even imagine the clarity.
Good job ,David !
