Speaking of unbelievable feats, have you watched the trailer for the first ascent of Lunag Ri? Lama and Anker made multiple unsuccessful attempts, with Anker having a heart attack (but surviving) on their last one. Lama returned and made a first ascent - doing it SOLO kzbin.info/www/bejne/h36weHmQnZuqras

It appears then that they died in an avalanche on descent, after a successful summit. rockandice.com/climbing-news/lama-roskelley-and-auer-likely-reached-summit-of-howse-peak-before-deaths/

[@johnbrown8074]

such a bummer he is gone.

[@Mdjagg]

Just curious how much gear gets left behind on a descent like this?

[@TheSeppentoni]

They didn't use fixed rope so I guess not a lot. Maybe they left some slings at some points on their way down. Let's say the have a 60m rope so the need to reattach their rope every 60 meters. And maybe at those places the had to use slings to get a decent holding point for the rope.

[@MartinLiversage]

At 6:51 you can see an abalakov being used. It seems to be backed by an ice screw but perhaps the second will retrieve the ice screw and only use the abalakov.

[@KSparks80]

Nate Kenney To climb that, I think all original nuts are still intact. I didn't notice one missing, let alone a set of 'em!

[@thomastirolflorida5363]

@@TheSeppentoni not enough to be mentioned

[@nudetaynehatwobble]

He really was as good as the worlds best alpinists

[@listrahtes]

I think its pretty close to say that Lama was on his way to be the alpinist of them all regarding difficult routes if he would have lived on. To achieve so much so young is breathtaking and unheard. His talent was without comparison. His free ascent of Cerro Torre was only one of these unique feats and this combination of technical climbing ability with alpinist qualities has imo never been seen before and imo might not after. Dani Arnold isnt far behind and a Hans Jörg Auer also was an absolute animal (The fish in free solo is as crazy as Honnolds El Capitan). Imo had Lama lived on he would have gone up to be considered the most talented alpinist of all time with fantastic resume. It doesnt really matter as mountains are imo not for competition but friendship and respect but its still mesmerizing and most of his ascents have a beauty in style and routes he choose. Sure we should mention people like Alex Lowe...etc. In a way Lama continued in Wolfgang Güllichs foot steps. Much like if Güllich would have been his father. IF you look at their lives there are so many similarities. Güllich also was for quite some time the best climber in the world period but then ventured on to alpine style climbs and free solos. Lamas Cerro Torre project reminds me of Wolfgangs Trango Tower free ascent of Eternal flame. I think his seperate reality free solo to this day was only done by at the most 5 other people including Honnold.

[@goji059]

[@duncanwright8392]

Do they leave some gear in to rappel? Never been clear on this.

[@Stickyickygnar]

[@aleksarakic8035]

Are they leaving equipment when abseiling down on new routes?

[@bunnyhay297]

See 6:50, they made a v thread with a chord through it and abseiled down. The ropes were retrieved at 7:25. So they left a chord up there, at least for that pitch.

[@Jerichocafe1]

[@XavieraJewel]

[@alieskandari6036]

[@cl4udioiturra]

How do they not break the rope with crampons? (special rope?, sometimes the crampons was almost on the rope)

[@AX1A]

Strength enough to climb much higher mountains -- That's how David Lama left

[@pinarozge6895]

Wow. Dani speaking Swiss German sounds like Dutch. David was Austrian, how did they even understand each other's German? May David rest in peace. Gone too young.

[@Mad1Z]

So I guess since there are no rings or anything like for abseiling at these mountains, they leave some equipment behind?

[@bunnyhay297]

See 6:50, they made a v thread with a chord through it and abseiled down. The ropes were retrieved at 7:25. So they left a chord up there, at least for that pitch. Alternatively, if they put the rope through the v thread, then they needed no leave any gear

[@rossmarino2776]

Do climbers always abandon ropes on the face of the mountain? Is that a good thing or a bad thing? A source of pollution perhaps? When climbers spend the night in a tent on the face of the mountain, how and where do they urinate/defecate?

[@thomas3108bb]

Ropes are rarely abandoned, you can quite easily belay on two ends of it, then pull one end and all comes back. What is left is a couple of fixation elements on the face, and the pollution is meaningless. Generally in a cup or bowl, which is then emptied. Not much comes out of you tho, your body needs everything you give it.

[@thomastirolflorida5363]

where do you urinate? Since your Grandmas basement does not have a toilet either.

[@FastFink]

This stuff is really cool but I guess I still don't see the draw to ice climbing over regular rock climbing... Anybody else feel the same?
