Austrian David Lama, 28, has became the first person to reach the summit of Nepal’s Lunag Ri - until recently one of the highest unclimbed peaks in the world. During a three-day solo ascent, Lama faced extreme weather including minus 30 degrees Celsius (minus 22 Fahrenheit) temperatures and 80 km/h (50mph) winds. The climber did not use ropes for most of his solo climb, which followed three earlier attempts abandoned due to exhaustion, technical issues and a heart attack suffered by his climbing partner. Lama has released video of his fourth climb, as he describes how he finally made the summit.

[@globaleyes840]

He was the true Mountaineer.. A lot of respect for him, It tears my heart apart that he is no more with us.......

[@alonsoquijano9555]

RIP. David Lama. Real mountaineer, unlike the Everest excursionists.

[@shwetha7583]

How did he film himself if it's a solo expedition. Drones ?

[@Teacher2Polis2XtraRice]

It was sponsored by Red Bull. Theres a camera crew flying drones to film him while climbing.

Unthinkable accomplishment...

[@justarandomnobody7451]

I get anxious just watching. Alex Honnold climbs are the worst, yet i cant look away. Lol.

[@vaibhavpratapchauhan6990]

I saw it today@27th of April 2024. And I just thought of making an advice, that this accomplishment isn't worth risking ur life. As, I scrolled down, I saw the comments, praying for his RIP. I realized, I was wrong, It really was and it has always been. Every accomplishment is special. The thing that matters is- How much, that task values for the person. This is personal & nobody, has any right to decide it for anybody, else. I am sorry Mr. Lama. RIP. On 27th of April 2024, I came to know Mr. David Lama, and his accomplishments, while he passed away 5 years back. And it is because of him, that, I came to know, mountaineering is an international sport, which holds local to world level competitions, in multiple categories. It is because of him, I know the name of this mountain, since, he climbed it solo, and until 2018, it was never conquered. So, it was worth risking your life.

[@2LOT]

What an Australian name. David Lama

[@rvndre8601]

guy is Austrian

[@mirarsalanbashir7733]

He would have runned up k2. This looks difficult than bottleneck

[@jaisalrw3494]

bottleneck is not difficult. Its just dangerous because of the huge seracs above it that can collapse anytime. The climb itself is not that technical.

[@santoshpatil-eo9ol]

Peak has to be named following who had scaled it....

[@silverjuly9339]

Will there be trash accumulation at that place now?

[@elenapetcu68]

The thumbnail looks like a seal, haha

[@dahlia2241]

Rip

[@钟英瑞-e6p]

redbull lol

[@psychocho71]

This maybe a wonderful trip to him, but what is the value to the public?

[@Me-qh2ux]

1.Even in the toughest situations u should never look back and keep going 2. Humans can reach any extremes when they have proper goal. 3. Fear makes u weak. Will makes u strong.. 4. In 8 billion people, when no one has ever reached that point..it makes feel super human doing that. 5. I can go on.. I can reach to any extent. Even there isn't anyone beside me.. 6.the list goes on...

[@sumigabriel5269]

encouragement to others that sometimes going out beyond your comfort zone is 👍👍..

[@goozy6287]

Spot on

[@pamir-alichortv7291]

Whats the value of any Sport for example ? 🤡

[@DerekDaly92]

Why does ones personal accomplishments require public benefits? Why cant we set personal goals and personal accomplishments. We all must walk this path alone and we have different aspirations

[@jayden7283]
