- 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.

Devastated that we lost him. Thank you for so much inspiration.
@23chrisfm Me too. Damn. His videography was great.
RIP David Lama. You’ve climbed the highest and the most beautiful summits. We will miss you.
I really loved that this video had no background music .... Deafening sound of freedom!
"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!
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 turned back down twice before but never gave up....simply in awe of you, David!
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
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.
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.
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.
Thank you David for making much less courageous people dream about mountains
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!!!!
Rest In Peace, David. Another incredible talent and living legend gone yet to soon... F
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.
i love that he doesnt say a word just looks into the camera for a while
Love from Nepal.
You are missed.
RIP
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.
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 !!
RIP to one of the best climbers in the world. You'll be missed
thank you for uploading this video it is breathtaking.
R.I.P David, the world is less without you.
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!
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.
Congratulations! You've finally summited lunag ri, after many tries.
Gratuliere David. Geile Linie, geile Tour und ein Tribut an Conrad
*OH MY GOD, RIP DAVID. I CANT BELIEVE THIS NEWS*
Laye chka this man is my favorite climber. I’m praying to God they find them all alive 😢
Herzliche Gratulation, David! Was für eine Leistung!
You did it!!! Congratulations~ ^^*
Very.brave.and.courageous.climber
I cannot find another climber as you were... cannot stop watching your videos again and again...Still miss you, LEGEND!
This is amazing. Hoping for longer version. Congratulations David!!
That summit is truly mind-blowing.
Incredible climb. Thank you for such a raw, real and breathtaking video.
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.
David du bist der Hammer :) dankeschön das du uns ab und an an deinen Erlebnissen teilhaben lässt. Herzliche Gratulation !!!!
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!
Absolutely incredible! David, you are just GREAT!
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.
You show the world a human in his primal force..which is so beautiful !!!
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
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.
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.
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 is the most exposed summit I have ever seen!
i watched all of your videos back to back.. AMAZING!!
shot at 1:03 puts things into perspective! simply wow
I wish they had continued to pan outwards so one could see the full extent, both of what had been climbed and what was left to climb. It would have also been nice to have an understanding of where he was headed - a purely horizontal line to the rock or ascending the ice to another vantage point.
I'm still waiting to see a more extensive video of this climb.
Always knew that you'll be coming back to do it and you did it! My sincerest congrats!
Knap hoor wat een lef heeft deze man en wat een prachtig uitzicht .👍🏻
it is great to know about a Nepali (well he maybe Austrian, but by blood he's Nepalese) climbing mountains for the sheer love of climbing and not turning it into commercial venture
Sponsored by Red Bull and North Face. Who do you think cuts the videos, who do you think does the helicopter or drone shots? And who you think pays for it? Not commercialized, sure...
He was Nepalese/Austrian. His mother is from Innsbruck.
Reklov what does that have to do with why he climbs?
@@liamwhite5529 read the comment "not turning it into commercial venture". That is simply wrong, he was a brand and commercialized it. Not saying that it is bad, we live in capitalism, so ok. Just why saying it would not be like this?
@@reklov827 But that still has nothing to do with why he climbs. He wasn't given a redbull sponsorship at 3 and told to start climbing. The fact that someone else edits his videos and having sponsors doesnt change the fact that he climbs mountains because he loves it, not becuase its a commercial venture. The original comment was right, hes a nepali who actually loves to climb mountains, he doesnt do it for the commercialization just because he had sponsors later on in his life.
Thoroughly deserved, absolutely amazing. Biggest balls in the world, mahussive!
Savage climb David. That is REAL mountaineering!! Simply amazing!
Wow incredible footage , what an honor to see this video.
Mr Lama does some of the coolest stuff, maximum respect
immenso. Bello vederti emozionato in vetta, come ogni alpinista, ognuno al proprio livello.
WOW!!! this is the Alex Honnold ice version can't wait for full video!!
absolutely spectacular views!!!
Makes two of us
yuuup! 3
Google Ueli Steck, he is the GOAT.
@@Frodoswaggns and death
Fantastic, a remarkable young man who showed courage and fortitude in the face of adversity. I wont lie watching this did make my little balls tingle.
Amazing accomplishment and footage. Those shots of your final steps to the summit were simply spectacular. Unreal. Congrats!
Seems like its always an avalanche that takes the best there is. They conquer the climbing, the mental aspect then get wiped out by something not in their control. RIP David, you were an inspiration for living, not just climbing. Rest well and the others you were with.
Wow, what an achievement given the history you had on this mountain! Congratulations!
You are always my inspiration. What a legend.
So amazing, incredible, congrats David! I wish Conrad could have been there with you!
RIP you legend. 💔😢
Big Congratulations on your monumental achievement. Have seen your previous attempts and saw how tough it was. You're an inspiration. Will be expecting the longer version of the video
Alpinism at it finest ! What a summit day for the amazing DL .
Goosebumps
What a brave climber, and amazing photography
fantastic and so good of you to share the clips....what a milestone in your mountaineering career and a true first.
This climb, with some of the sections he's traversing or climbing are comparable with Alex Honnold's free soloing The Nose on El Capitan, for the amount of risk, exposure, definitely worthy of Piolet D'Or. Spectacular drone and action camera footage. That's a special piece of real estate up there, freezing cold but magical.
Both were fantastic achievements but come on, free soloing el cap was way more impressive. Not to take anything away from Lama's climb but he did self belay. the comparison of the two is difficult just because they are totally different types of climbing
I disagree, let's not forget that Alex Honnold has trained 2 or so years for that climb, during which he'd climbed 50 times roped. They both have blue bird skies, but Lama had 6900meters altitude and perhaps -30 degrees Celsius. Lama didn't use pro during some sections, like the traverse of that steep slope, as per the video. Both of these climbs are as deadly as any climbs can be. With a bullet to my head, I would perhaps choose the bullet, for either climbs, but then again, I am not the best in the world in either fields, so I can enjoy watching Free Solo, and waiting for a movie on Lunag Ri I hope. Cheers
@@AdrianCalgary well I'll just say that in my best years of climbing I would have a slim chance climbing Lama's route but their's no way in hell I could even think of trying to free solo el cap. What Lama did was fantastic but those kind of routes have been done many times and for a long time. Also Alex has been training for that climb for 10+ years.
@@mpreiss7780 Those kind of routes have been done many times before? At almost 7000 meters? I doubt it. Can you give examples?
@@mpreiss7780 I see a comparable climb, as I've mentioned, simply because Alex Honnold have memorized his route and used speed and endurance to climb it, while David Lama finished up the previously twice attempted route, solo, this time, which requires different skills but as strenuous and risky, considering the altitude for the latter. There is a visible rope on that traverse I've mentioned, but a fall would not necessarily would've been safe enough for it. A solo ascent at 6900 meters in this type of terrain is as exhilarating as the free solo of The Nose, in my opinion. I did watch the movie Free Solo in a theatre, and it's similar to any other free solo climbs of Honnold found on youtube. The face of the former World Champion talks about how demanding this ascent was, and he's only half way. Every cell in his body must've screamed "Oxygen! I need Oxygen". Honnold's free solo was a mental game of a super fit athlete.
wow... I am waiting for a full documentary!
So awesome, I teared up at the end of the video.
Amazing feats! I've been waiting for your videos since hearing that you successfully summited Lunag Ri! Such an inspiration.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu diesem Gipfel. Was für unglaublich beeindruckende Bilder.
Congratulations David !!
Big congratulations David lama! I’m proud of you.
RIP, simply amazing feat.
Gracias David. RIP.
2:12 That nice pyramide peak far on the horizon is Tengi Ragi Tau (6938m).On 2:42 behind him should be peak of Cho Oyu (8188m),the sixth highest mountain in the world and just second before that on the right side in the distance you can see Mount Everest!Scary and wonderful shots of Lunag Ri.He is now climbing higher places..
Молодец! Слежу за твоими восхождениями! Поздравляю с горой!
Still missing you David
Congratulations David!Huge respect!💪
Your beautiful soul lives on. Forever.
Awesome! Respect from Poland!
2:30 insane confidence David! Amazing! High Five
Great stuff, anyone who hasn't seen it should watch the failed previous attempts.
do you know if he took the same route as the other attempts?
Herzlichen Glueckwunsch David. Meinen allergroessten Respekt.
Felicidades David!!!! Gracias por la inspiración!!!
Respect Man!!!
And keep on going.. The future is yours..
Peace & Love
Really impressive, congratulations David! Also impressive to see a drone at 7.000m. I wonder which drone was able to fly up that high?
alta x or alta 8 probably
oh my god, this is simply off the hook!
Congrats on an amazing climb. This is so moving. I was hanging on just watching. Peace from Alaska.✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾
So sad that we lost him. RIP 😢
Amazingly gifted and equally crazy, thanks for the video
Wow, what an oustanding performance!!!! Congratulations !!!
“After more than three years of trying, the Austrian climber has made mountaineering history by summiting Nepal's unconquered Lunag Ri mountain.” Dude’s done enough amazing firsts for several people.
Amazing work. Everything about this is first class. Kudos!
Such a fantastic job. Amazing. Words do not describe.
Pure natural. Mountain loves you.
I can't believe he is dead 😢😱 This is so sad, damn! RIP legend!
doing it solo after what happened the first couple tries, damn....... congrats!!!
Remarkable. Truly amazing. Congratulations.
