First Ascent of Lunag Ri - Solo

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 ...

[@drew8996]

Devastated that we lost him. Thank you for so much inspiration.

[@seacucumberable]

@23chrisfm Me too. Damn. His videography was great.

[@edulatorrev]

I really loved that this video had no background music .... Deafening sound of freedom!

[@martindinan4889]

RIP David Lama. You’ve climbed the highest and the most beautiful summits. We will miss you.

[@edowhx]

"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!

[@fraeni90]

You turned back down twice before but never gave up....simply in awe of you, David!

[@mothmanifest]

Can we look forward to a longer version of this? Amazing

[@scottinnh88]

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.

[@sholmes983]

@@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.

[@NishantSingh-rz9jt]

@@scottinnh88 Small but a very technically challenging peak

[@kreterakete]

Scott F an avalanche can’t see if you are professional climber or not.

[@gregparrott]

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

[@daeclipse03]

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!

[@RodhanoSalas]

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!!!

[@RG-ja34sep]

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.

[@marcinl.2376]

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.

[@mpreiss7780]

toughest climb in the Himalayas? do you know the technical grade yet?

[@hypernova3011]

@@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.

[@MarkoPareigis]

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!

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

@@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.
