David Lama memorial

[@DavidLamaOfficial]

To everyone who thinks of David together with us! Exactly one year ago, David stood on top of Lunag Ri. We deliberately chose this day to share a few thoughts. Retrospectively, the project Lunag Ri was in various aspects a special one. On the one hand, it showed David’s persistence when it came to reaching personal goals. On the other hand, for us it felt like over the years trying Lunag Ri David found his connection to Nepal. A connection, which genetically existed from the day he was born. A connection where it was always important for him to find his individual approach to deal with it. The last months since the tragic incidence in Canada passed by quickly. The grief was accompanied by numerous beautiful memories, newly gained connections to people from David’s surrounding, and thoughts about how we can create a memento for the future. To intensively accompany David, our only child, and support his talent felt not only like a matter of course, but retrospectively it feels like a gift. Only little by little we get a sense of all that engaged and touched David. It fills us parents with pride, how much he experienced in his short life. At the same time it makes us sad to see what he had planned for the upcoming years all of which will remain unfinished due to his early death. We cannot climb mountains for him, however in his will we will try to implement some of his thoughts and make accessible those materials that were intended to be published. In this sense, we would like to share impressions from David’s memorial for everyone who couldn’t be part of it in July. This day meant a lot to us and was an important part in processing what happened. Claudia & Rinzi Lama

My sincerest deepest condolences for your loss.

[@rg-rz3kv]

David Lama My deepest condolences to his parents Mr and Mrs Lama, his family, friends and loved ones. He was an individual who inspired and touched many people with his passion and talent. May his spirit and legacy continue and May he rest in peace

[@nudetaynehatwobble]

Thank you so much for sharing

[@skiguru99]

David Lama what lovely words and a great way to remember your son. May his achievements give you comfort

[@praslai]

May God give you all the strength to endure the loss of your son. I've only started following his work only after his death and every time I watch is videos, I feel that he has left beautiful memories and inspirations. I've watched the memorial videos and words can't describe how I feel about the loss. May God bless you both. You two have gifted a perfect son that will be remembered for eternity. So long, David. Godspeed

[@Colt-Forty5]

I just discovered David’s channel. Watched numerous videos before finally coming across the “memorial” videos and my heart sank.. May he Rest In Peace. What an unbelievably inspiring person.

[@rilentles7134]

trust! i was the same

[@praslai]

The memorial for David is one of the deepest emotions I've ever felt for someone I remotely didn't know... I draw inspiration from his work. This is such a huge loss. So long.. Colt, you should listen to his tribute of 'how dare you' by Steaming Satellites

[@_ayushmehta]

[@DavidLamaOfficial]

An alle die mit uns an David denken! Genau heute vor einem Jahr stand David am Lunag Ri. Wir haben bewusst diesen Tag gewählt, um ein paar Gedanken zu teilen. Das Projekt am Lunag Ri war rückblickend betrachtet in mehrerlei Hinsicht ein besonderes. Zum einen zeigte es über die Jahre sinnbildlich Davids Beharrlichkeit, wenn es um das Erreichen persönlicher Ziele ging. Zum anderen fühlte es sich für uns so an, als hätte David über die Jahre am Lunag Ri seine Nähe zu Nepal gefunden. Eine Bindung, die über seine Gene von Anbeginn bestand, bei der es ihm aber wichtig war, seinen persönlichen Zugang zu finden. Das vergangene halbe Jahr seit den tragischen Ereignissen in Kanada ist wie im Flug vergangen. Die Trauer um David war begleitet von zahlreichen schönen Erinnerungen, neu gewonnener Nähe zu Leuten aus seinem Umfeld, und Überlegungen darüber, wie wir ihm in Zukunft ein Andenken bewahren können. David als unser einziges Kind so intensiv begleiten und sein Talent fördern zu können fühlte sich für uns nicht nur nach einer Selbstverständlichkeit an, rückwirkend kommt es uns vor wie ein Geschenk. Erst nach und nach bekommen wir einen Überblick über alles, was David beschäftigte und berührte. Es erfüllt uns Eltern mit Stolz, wie viel David in seinem jungen Leben erlebt hat, und zeitgleich macht es uns traurig zu sehen, was er für die kommenden Jahre alles konkret vor Augen hatte und durch seinen frühen Tod wohl unvollendet bleiben wird. Berge können wir nicht für ihn besteigen, einen Teil seiner Ideen, hinterlassene Gedanken und zur Veröffentlichung bestimmte Inhalte möchten wir aber versuchen, in seinem Willen fortzutragen und umzusetzen. In diesem Sinne möchten wir heute Davids Gedenkfeier für all jene erlebbar machen, die im Juli nicht dabei sein konnten. Dieser Tag hat uns viel bedeutet und war ein wichtiger Teil der Aufarbeitung des Geschehenen. Claudia & Rinzi Lama

[@mdax2351]

Claudia und Rinzi, ich wünsche Euch viel Kraft, Davids unerschöpfliche Kraft! In seinem Wirken, in seiner Art, Dinge zu revolutionieren, erinnert mich David an die amerikanische Lauflegende Steve Prefontaine. Auch er ging seinen ureigenen Weg, hat den Sport auf eine höhere Ebene gebracht, verstarb als junger Mann, aber er wirkt bis heute und weilt unter uns, ganz einfach, weil er in seinem Schaffen einzigartig war.

[@StephAnie....]

Als Mutter bricht es mir schier das Herz, diese Zeilen zu lesen. 😔 Unzählige Gedanken weltweit sind bei euch als Eltern, und doch trägt man letztlich den Schmerz alleine. Ich hoffe, dass der Gedanke dennoch tröstlich sein kann, dass euer Sohn in seinem Leben etwas tat, was leider dem größten Teil der Menschen versagt bleibt: er hat (gerade auch durch euch als Eltern!) sein Talent erkennen dürfen u n d er konnte es in vollen Zügen ausleben!!! Dafür bewundere und beneide ich ihn und euch! Mehr kann ein Mensch kaum erreichen: sich selbst zu erkennen und sich selbst treu sein zu dürfen. Damit macht er auch allen anderen Menschen dieses Leben zum Geschenk: ein Leben vorzuleben, das seinem innersten Wesen entsprach. Ein wundervoller, inspirierender und augenscheinlich auch sehr emphatischer junger Mann. Als Eltern habt ihr großartiges an ihm getan: er durfte sein was er ist. Ich wünsche euch als Eltern einen immer heller werdenden Weg in der Trauer und mit eurem Sohn dabei immer an eurer Seite.

[@ankurrunthala]

Om shanti om take care 🙏

[@StephAnie....]

@Reset Watch Thank you and warm greetings and best wishes... Hugs - Stephanie

[@snowberrydemian]

Beautiful human, rest in peace. You will continue inspiring people with your dedication to your own values.

[@angelalejzerowicz9670]

I just recently came upon Davids channel. I’m not a climber but there’s something captivating about watching the people who find their purpose through climbing. Ive been in complete awe by his abilities and mesmerized by his passion for climbing! I had no idea he’d even passed until I saw this video my condolences to ALL who knew and loved him ❤️

[@austriantruther485]

I am happy to have a photo with him! RIP David!

[@Xtn-Vinci]

Mu favourite, inspiration, idol, just cannot tell you that how much i have learnt from you. I hope wherever you are , your are still climbing there. Man , i missed you so much. Rest in peace David Lama.

[@strider1237]

I don't know this man but knowing of his dedication, ambition, accomplishments, and free spirit, any person should be able to connect. To be able to feel the weight of that. Rest in peace.

[@evangelinacorrea3905]

[@hutlazzz]

[@reconjeeper0321]

As an off-roader who loves the beauty of creation and the attraction of adventure, David Lama has inspired me! Truly a gifted young man who was loved, and is missed by many! He truly lived his life! May he live even more fully in the next!

[@matteozanetti3926]

Rest in peace, David. I like to think that you are climbing summits of other worlds and universes

[@AleksandarGospic]

David reaching that balcony on the summit of Lunag Ri is the most iconic shot of him that I will never forget, it is one of the best climbing shots I've seen, just incredible! It is so sad he had to die so young, and in such unlucky circumstances on the mountain that was probably not a great challenge for his skill. Just unlucky timing to be in the path of the avalanche. If that hurts so much us that never met him it is impossible to imagine how it is to the family and friends. My deepest condolences to Claudia & Rinzi and the family!

[@09TessMc]

Been thinking about you a lot lately. Rest in peace David.

[@paparazzi.IndianFootball]

Just can't believe it! He had the heart to against and challenge nature everyday! RIP♥️♥️ was a true inspiration and a goal for me as a mountaineer.

[@wilcox6791]

Thanks David for Inspiration RIP

[@parsag]

RIP David. His multiple attempts to Lunag Ri is so epic & inspiring.. Looks like he has special connection with that mountain. If I have the authority, I'll rename the mountain to his name by now..

[@MrWicked61671]

At least, now, he sits atop the highest mountain of them all, forever. R.I.P.

[@LittleSkyful]

Ich habe grade zum ersten Mal den Film "Cerro Terro" geguckt und war beeindruckt von den beiden - ich wusste nichts von dem Unfall und war schon stutzig, wieso die neusten Artikel in der Vergangenheitsform geschrieben wurden. Mir tut das so Leid, besonders, wenn man seine Begeisterung für diesen Sport gesehen und miterlebt hat. Bin grade echt niedergeschlagen. Ein schönes Gedenkvideo.

Sehr schade, er war für viele junge Leute ein Vorbild. Vor allem war er immer vorsichtig darum versteh ich nicht daß es passiert ist, der ist schon oft kurz vor dem Ziel umgekehrt weil er nicht sein Leben risikieren wollte, aber von Lawine ist halt niemand sicher. Zuerst Ueli Steck jetzt auch David Lama, Ruhe in Frieden David ☹

Weiß jemand, warum die offizielle Website von David nicht mehr erreichbar ist? :(

[@mohamedbouzambou4629]

Allaah is the Creator and wrote the beginning and the end for everything what he has created, He knows every action that is made on the earth and in the sky and in the depth of the sea. He made the human to explore, and also the strength in him. David was one of those human that showed that the top of the world was reachable. This guy, and others in the same branch are from another level, living to feel free and feeding your soul from what is made of, earth, taking risks to return to earth is something inevitable.Translate this, Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un.

On 16 April 2019 I was just staring my new job, a job that would later turn out to be the best thing ever! I was making 8k / month. A month! Shit was crazy, life was so good, I had more money than I knew what to do with let me tell you! So anyway, then covid happened and I lost my job and it's been a struggle to get back to that point again. America, I can start over! Land of the free! America.
