In Memory of David Lama(Career Highlight Reel)

- I always dreamed of climbing with David. I would watch videos of David climbing with Conrad Anker and say... when I'm 28, David will be 42 and I'll be climbing with him. Sadly, those dreams are now destroyed, as David was killed in an avalanche, alongside Jess Roskelley and Hansjorg Auer. They were climbing the M-16 route on Howse Peak. When I first heard the news on Wednesday, I paused... This can't be real... This wouldn't happen to David. But after many hours, I finally admitted to myself David is gone. We must not remember David as a man who died in an avalanche... but instead remember him as the thoughtful, energetic and motivated person he was. Rest in peace David... may your legacy live on.

David experienced more in his 29 years of life than most will in their lifetime. Guy was a legend, rest easy up there.
Da hat er was davon,das Leben verschenken für tote Steine und einen falschen Ehrgeiz😮
all of this to die on a 4000m mountain . sad
@@YouMustBelieve1998nothing sad about it
Er hat mehr erreicht als du es jemals wirst, du solltest dich schämen für deine Aussage@@ch.l.1828
Rest in Peace David, just another climb, way higher than the others.
We go to the mountains and gain so much, but also sometimes lose so much.
Poet 😝
jose renteria A fantastic quote!!
Amazingly well said 👌🏽🙌🏼
Better than mountains only mountains! Well said brother!
Just a few months ago I began watching videos on CZcams of alpinists climbing big mountains. I didn't know who David Lama was. When I first watched a David Lama video on CZcams I was so incredibly amazed that I soon found myself watching every single video of David Lama available on CZcams. I thought "wow, this guy is such a young and talented mountaineer". I soon discovered that he was one of the most talented climbers in the world. His videos were really inspiring to me. I never thought the life and career of such a talented and young climber would end so soon. On his videos David always looked so passionate about climbing, he always looked so calm and in control.
I try to find some meaning out of this big tragedy. To me the big lesson here is to follow your dreams with passion no matter what. To do what you love and to love what you do. Always. It doesn't really matter how long you live as long as what you do in life makes you happy. It is not about how long you live but how much you enjoy what you do in life regardless of your age.
Great lessons by this young and talented climber. Thank you so much David for the inspiration. May you rest in peace.
Very well said my friend.
Exactly. I’ve seen in some articles people saying they had bad judgement. But I’m sure it was just bad luck for them. Mountaineering and alpine climbing has a presence of luck.
Hej R.S. ....this could be excactly my words! Its excactly how i learned about David and how i feel about the excident. I am terrified about like everything...but He taught me there is no need for. Its not the years that count.
Great words.
if you've only seen the youtube vids, make the effort to watch the full length Cerro Torre, a brilliant mountaineer on an amazing mountain. It's a very sad thing to lose an incredible human being but we are no doubt blessed to have been able to share in their journey at all. best wishes to all, good things to all people
Sincere condolences to all of the Lama, Roskelley and Auer family members and friends. My prayers for the ease of your grief which I know only too well as the mother of Denali Schmidt and former wife of his father, Marty Schmidt both deceased on K 2 (Pakistan) 2013. It is those left behind who have the agony of the climb through life without you.
I’m sorry for your losses.
@@skatenerd0815 fuck you
@@skatenerd0815 dont get alot of attention huh
@@skatenerd0815 Stupid people get stupid results. Ooh a rock, let's climb it. Anyone who puts themselves in such a f*cked up situation for no reason at all deserves the. bullsh*t they mine. Excellent comment, plus his dad died that way???
Well, let's see how your shitty life turns out.
I just started watching videos with David climbing and thought how amazing it was to see the barriers being pushed and inspirational for others and then I sadly came across this about his passing with his fellow climbers. RIP
It’s better to burn out than to fade away, you can live more in one minute than some people do in there entire life. Rock on
I presume you've measured this? Why do people say things like this that they cannot possible know? Is it because you 'want' it to be so? Let us commemorate a fine climber 'without' hurling shit over those who seek a different path. Geez.
Don't try to romanticize death. There's nothing glorious about dying. There's only pain, solitude and an endless search for comfort and closure.
You guys are both wrong. There’s a philosophy behind his actions. Alpinistes live 2 lives. Their own, and their family’s. David was living his first life and past away. He died doing what he loved having already confronted the risks that are out of his reach. So please don’t argue and just appreciate the man that was once Mr. Lama
If you think this is your destiny ok then take the risk and go for it. But don't tell people what's the sense of life. They should find out on their own why they are here. And it's ok just to chill out and enjoy your coffee at home while watching a film. As long as you are happy. Cheers 🍻
Everyone and everything dies folks. Wtf are you fighting about? Each person can chose what they want.
Rest in peace. Such a short life but you achieved so much and are a true inspiration 👍
Died so young, but lived so long.
Justin Long Yes... but sadly I can't help think it's such a waste of a life :o(
Lived for sure more than people wo died at 90. It is about how much you do in your lifetime. Yes he died young but I think he had more great moments and emotions than people who lives much longer than David.
@@justinrunslong Exactly!
@@yanniko2437 so true. Most people go through life without ever living.
it is very acute for the nervous system. it's pure adrenaline even when you just watch. he is an extraordinary madman. the mountains took it to themselves. bright memory to the boy.
With Tears in my eye...
I'll just say...
RIP... N WAIT FOR. ME. IN HEAVEN... WE'LL CLIMB A MOUNTAIN THERE TOGETHER.....
HUGE RESPECT FROM INDIA.
Every climber feels his lost. I never knew him personaly but after all these years watching all his videos it truly feels like we really did meet and shared moments on those crazy mountains he climbed and for that, I thank this kid, for taking me everywhere without even going. R.I.P. such big loss.
Balls of steel. Amazing climbing. He’s been places almost the whole world will never go. Incredible
Thanks for making such a great video in memory of David Lama!
What a beautiful video that helps capture his love/passion in life. It’s true everyone dies but not all of us get to truly live as this young man did. The world can be a unforgiving place but at least he passed away doing what he loved. Rest in peace our adventurous friend.
29 years old..my same age and u did all that crazy things. RIP legend.
Ein sehr guter Kletterer und Mensch!
Habe eine Zeitlang mit seinem Vater gearbeitet ... selten so einen herzlichen Mann kennengelernt!
Tut mir Leid um die Familie!
Ruhe in Frieden David
Warum ist er tödlich verunglückt?
Im Abstieg vom Howse Peak geriet die Seilschaft in eine gigantische Lawine, die nach menschlichem Ermessen einfach nicht zu überleben war. Das sind leider die "objektiven Gefahren" (Lawinen, Steinschlag, etc.), denen auch Ausnahmekönner immer wieder zum Opfer fallen. Wenn man das Gipfelfoto vom Howse Peak sieht, muss man sagen: Hier sind drei Menschen gestorben, die etwas taten, was sie zutiefst liebten, und die gerade einen weiteren glücklichen, intensiven Moment erlebt hatten. Das muss jeder für sich entscheiden, aber viele würden vielleicht zustimmen, dass es nicht das wichtigste ist, dem Leben mehr Jahre zu geben, sondern den Jahren mehr Leben. Daran gemessen hatten Lama, Auer und Roskelley bereits ein langes, erfülltes Leben hinter sich. Das muss man nicht so sehen, aber man kann es so sehen!
One of the best climber and inspired alot of people out there. Rest in peace David!
People who die from doing what they love..... somehow, meaningfully makes me jealous.
Most people die without even having to live. So, What a special way to move on.
I think we have to go by the way we love from the hearth and soul.
BEAUTIFULLY PUT....
This is true. Also infuriating to me when chronically/terminally sick people get told it's illegal or wrong to have medically assisted suicide. I refuse to rot away in some hospital bed and I refuse to allow anyone tell me where/how I should die, or that I should never fight my illness. My happy days of climbing, skating, horse riding dancing, being a chef(only to name a few) have long passed. I'm 47 and doubt to see 50. We all need to stop speaking about death like it's a dirty word. LIVE LIFE while you can cause when your body breaks, it sucks 😢
It's just another phase we have. I've watched this several times. It gives me peace so much.
Rest in peace David. When I discovered your adventures, your already way up there. You've got a wonderful life. Love lots to the lovers of adventure up there like you. Hugs.
I was hoping David Lama would become over time to be the younger Ueli Steck. It was a dream not to be. I couldn't believe the news at first. He was always one who knew when to turn around, when to call it quits. But alas, fate has other plans for him, other mountains for him to climb.
Even though he was so young, he died doing what he loved, what more can you ask for.
RIP David, you can now climb higher and faster than ever, without fear, without fatigue.
I'm sure you and Ueli Steck will make a great climbing team, I'm sure he has many mountains to show you up there.
Well you could ask for a long life :o( Better yet, at a certain point appreciate & stop risking the life you have.
elcgmail hmmm. What’s better? A long dull life living in fear of death or a short one lived with your foot on the gas? To each their own my friend.
David Lama was a Climer he never won't be a Hero R_I_P David
Mariandel Andelandel I appreciate your sentiment & am sorry for your loss but hero seems extreme.
I will miss his eloquent words and amazing spirit. May peace be with his family and friends. RIP
One of the best climbers of his generation. Such an amazing climber, who had so much in front of him! He was one of the greats!
A true legend. He lived more in his short life than most people who die of old age.
God speed to your rebirth sir.
A Calm inspiration with energy that can be felt but not explained, A rush of life with understanding, passion and invigoration a grip on heart and soul.
Your new path with the lord awaits you.
David was real life super hero and inspiration for whole generations to come. Rip in peace david.
Rest in Peace David. You are one of my biggest inspirations. I will never forget you❤️
May his loved ones find some solace in how much he was loved and still is. A great man leaves behind admirers. I'm one.
What a climber, what a life. Such a great loss. RIP David.
this guy gave me motivation to climb small peaks in my country!
The Netherlands ?
Heartbreaking news, so sad, one of my favouriteMountaineers. Respect from Indian occupied Kashmir. Rip
So many of us live our lives in awe of so few who really live. RIP David Lama and the few like him.
I still can't believe it 😢
The best mountaineer!!!
I'm so sad😢😢😢😢
R.I.P David
Absolutely heartbreaking.
The best?
Obviously he wasnt the best if he died. Im the best now hecause im still alive. All i gotta do is go climb a rock or a tree and im better than him. U idiot
@@gsfbffxpdhhdf7043 all you are is an insensitive moron lmao, do us all a favor and get off your grandma's computer and go read a book or somethin 🙏
Don't appreciate haters .. sorry you are so insensitive .. I will pray for you to be kind ...
I am saddened deeply to find out such a great climber is gone so young. I am very familiar to the pain of of losing friends & family in the mountains. I just found out today. Gosh! what a loss for the climbing world. I watched many great videos of his climbs. 🥲May he be reborn as a great human being again! Om Mani Padme Hung🙏
I miss these guys a lot. They were so inspiring...
This great man is a true athlete in every sense of the word. Rock climbing without help, 🎿 down snow packed mountains. The muscles in his arms look so fragile yet he had amazing incredible strength. He wasn't afraid of dying, he just wanted to live his life. It's so dangerous, what he did but that he did it anyway speaks volumes about him. Wished he were still on this Earth and I send my prayers 🙏 up to his family and his two friends families.
RIP David. You were an inspiration, and will always remain one.
R.I.P to this lengend of a climber pushing stuff no one thought could be done just take a moment to thank him for what he did for the sport
He lived the life with his passion, rest in peace. 🇳🇵
Beautiful tribute...
RIP David..God bless you all and your families
Rest in peace David. Man I loved watching vidoes of your climbs and feeling free from just watching those. I think you inspired soooo many people to go out and do what they love.
RIP ... You were an true inspiration and when I saw your videos I was always like ohh my God..I wanna do that one day .. rip brother
David Lama once said “Those afraid of death are afraid of living” more of us should try to live life as he did. Condolences to his family
The problem is there are limits in life we take and if you want to die early in life you surpass does limits and die because it gone beyond calculated risk then.
I understand what your saying but I think many people misunderstand people who live their life like David, they don’t have a death wish it’s actually the opposite they want to live life to its fullest! Some people just believe it is better to have lived 20yrs and did everything than a 100 and did nothing. To each their own. But I think David lived an amazing life and achieved more in his short life than most do. I admire him!
@@mistychang6654 so true i rather live a short life and do everything i wanted to than to live a very long life and regret i didnt do everything.
@@mistychang6654 Arrogant, myopic f**k! Do you think people who live long lives do nothing? Who the hell are you to tell others how they should live, especially taking risks many don't have the need or desire to take? Life is too vast and incomprehensible for the likes of you to spew such arrogance! You write like a twelve year old on youtube who spews ignorance and narcissistic BS!
Nah.. I don’t think climbing a mountain is worth risking your life for. But that’s just me.
Ein toller Mensch, ein grandioser Kletterer/Alpinist. Schade das er so jung gehen musste. Ruhe in Frieden, David Lama.
The death of David went close to heart, even tho i didn't know him personally. Thru his dedication and mindset I got inspired to do what i love the most and I m thankful he shared it with us all. We lost one of the Greats, not only in climbing but also in general. I find solace that he died doing what he loved most, still there is this emptiness of what could have been. I wish that his family, friends and the climbing community can overcome this sad time and look back at his life knowing that he lived it to the fullest. Rest in Peace David
Amazing words. He died so young, but lived so long.
I am so glad I’m a nobody and that when i die my spirit won’t have to contend with total strangers blowing smoke like this.
“Not just in climbing, but in general...”
He wasn’t curing kids with cancer, you do know that, right? He went on endless vacations. Cool, but not exactly worth a medal of honor.
“Died doing what he loved?” Selling red bull? Take it as a lesson that doing other things as well, finding a balance, might be a good idea. Might have saved Davids life.
Not trying to be disrespectful-even if its happening. In climbing and life it is more important to be realistic. Thats my “inspiring” take away from this man.
This kind of post mortem idolatry makes me want to puke. Sends the wrong message to the kids.
Todd your words come from somone who wants nothing from life. David had a passion that inspired people through how much he loved what he was doing. Red bull sells red bull and pays athletes to be the athletes THEY ARE. Leading our kids to think there is a cure for everything is far more dangerous then anything David accomplished in his life.
No, I want a little bit from life...and that is enough. do you want YOUR kid to try to take too much, pushed by sponsorship money? “Too much is never enough” is a sickness. It has only one cure. Its killing the whole world for god’s sake. Glad I’m a nobody so I don’t have to live or die as a proxy for anyone’s insane fantasies... mostly my own. -but yours are special.
@@toddmulligan2609 people like you are a shame to have in the climbing community. to say that his accomplishments were only to sell red bull is pure disrespect on this mans life work. his family had been climbing years before he was born and his goals reflected his hard work and training throughout the years. i wish for healing in your negative soul.
What a beautiful life, and you have inspired me and many. God loves you
Mountain and Sea... No matter how expert and knowledged you are. They both can be unpredictable sometimes (and, in many cases, once is enough).
Powerful images and landscapes in this video.
I was a huge fan of yours David. RIP. You won't be forgotten.
REST IN PEACE DAVID
Such an unbelievable Climber
The very best.
He is definitely one of my favourite hero 🙏🏻🙏🏻💪🏻💪🏻🇳🇵🇳🇵it was great watching their attempt to climb Annapurna 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Rest In Peace David Brother ☮️🌺🎉 nobody live in this world for ever but you lived with Nature and I believe you will live forever with those beautiful mountain 🙏🏻🙏🏻
What kind of person must someone be and what drive and bravery must he have to do all these things by age 29! How inspiring! RIP David Lama
David was truly a free spirit, he is now looking down at us.
Can you imagine how much of god they saw while doing the things they loved. Peace be with them all.

Zero?
The irony in this comment
One can only wish to be as brave as you,
One can only strive to reach the heights as you did.
But today, you left for the climb of the lifetime and we were again left watching at the base.
RIP.
Rest in peace brother. Most respectful regards from Finland and Norway.
You lived forever David.You are a legacy man. RIP brother.
Wishing his family strength
I recognized your Desire to live. Sends fire through my heart hoping and wishing to live half and adventurous as you .
Epic and beautiful, yet sad. Thank you and yes he will be missed big time 😔
RIP David, Jess and Hansjorg. And heartfelt condolences to the loved ones you leave behind. The mountaineer’s life is 10 times greater than the average person. It’s a series of rich and emotional struggles at the edge of human experience. The mountaineer embraces his (her) passion equally with fear and divine joy. He knows no god but of himself and of nature. He is a fierce athelte and dreamer wielding a sharp blade. When he passes, his life becomes the story of sorrow and legend. At the highest level of commitment, he stands before each monumental task in front of him with stubborn determination; and with his comrades, he thinks not of his fate, but of his boundless freedom with tears of elation. He is accepting that the mountain is neither his friend nor his enemy, and by choosing to climb it he acquiesces that on any day the mountain can take him. Such is the irony and ultimate sacrifice of our sport.
Hello David, Jess and Hansjoerg
Thank you for the wonderful moments you gave us!
We will not forget you and will take you to the mountains with us in our hearts. Rest in peace.
With alpine greetings
Raphael Wellig
Just from watching your videos, you’ve inspired me to further push myself on my own adventures. You truly pushed all boundaries and although you were taken far too soon, I know you’re climbing endless peaks in Heaven. David, may you forever Rest In Peace.
Oh my God. I really enjoyed watching his expeditions on youtube. He was truly amazing and humble.
RIP David - incredible community loss and condolence to the family
Wherever you are stay blessed, David.
Wonderful life. Wonderful climbing. Wonderful video memory. Wonderful David. Rest in peace and climb your mountain in paradise.
Those routes looked so insane. Wow he could climb. RIP buddy
alex wirz yes and compared to the route on Howse peak where the tragedy happened it was relatively easy climb that they submitted in few hours and this happened when they reached the base very bad timing
Rip. I remember him and Conrad. Huge motivation. Rest easy brother.
My pray & prayers always with you . Om Mani Path Me Hung
You will be missed David. Climb high with the angels, my brother. Your legacy will forever live on.
Oh no. I did not know about this until today. He epitomized fearlessness ! RIP David
His Mammut vids completely rewired how I defined my relationship with the mountains. RIP.. Thank you for the inspiration.
I always loved alpinists, Edmund Hillary, Reinold Messner are just supermen. I watched videos of David Lama few months ago, so talented, so humble,. Not to long ago Ulie Steck the swiss machine died, now it's David Lama, they were so young. What a tragedy for family and friends. RIP.
Man I miss Ulie as well. Both were so great and talented. Never would have guessed it would happen to either of them.
This man was my idol. I loved following his accomplishments, and he inspired me and I’m sure many others to try to live life to the fullest. It’s a shame that he is gone so soon, and so humbling to know even the most experienced and accomplished suffer from mistakes like the rest of us. Rest In Peace, David, Jess, and Hansjoerg.
Great tribute to a great climber
Soul fly, fly free 🦅
The ultimate ascent, what a great career he had, you'll be in good company now, eternal sunsets buddy
💥BOOM 💥....we all have no idea our expiration dates. he lived the life he wanted. !
Great loss for our hearts and our sport. David, you are missed sorely. God speed!
He didn't die - he lived
true, he lived his dream...
If being an adrenaline addict is living then being a heroine addict is the best life possible.
@aubug5 exactly....hero's risk safety to save life. These people are just immature fools
If he made it to heaven, he still lives with the Lord, for all those who believe in Jesus and do his will LIVE FOREVER
aubug5 you will never know what truly living means with that fear-based, conservative mentality. Have a fun, boring life. Namaste’ bland person
Why legends like him have to go so early? WHY?? Godspeed David. You are higher now than you ever was before...
He was a hero of mine. I’m still in shock. Thanks for making this. He was going to be a climbing legend like Conrad Anker.
I think he already achieved that. Lama set new standards for high altitude climbing. What he did on Cerro Torre and Lunag Ri ist already climbing history.
David saved Conrads life in 2016 at he Lunag Ri.
Rest in peace, David.😢 ...and thank you @Justin Long for making this nice video in memory of him. Great job! Thank you!
Grande David Lama estarás en los
Cielos de montaña más alta
de tus sueños 👍
I did not know much about David lama but recently in Pakistan during the K2 winter summit our climber Muhammad Ali Sadpara and his two teammates were missing form 5 Feb 2021 then learn about mountain climbers from google and youtube and i have watched david lama documentry movie Anupruna 3 unclimbed i just love these guys and their passion i still didnt know about david lama death but yesterday i am just searching about him i suddenly known about his death i am in shock how can this be May he rest in Peace .
David Lama a great Alpinist
So sad, my 2nd fav climber. He lived so much!!!
He did more in 28 years, then most people do in a lifetime. Such an amazing person.
Kylie Kylie whose your 1st favorite climber?
@@samk7717 Conrad Anker!! 😎 Honnold is great ofcourse but David's climbing was so much fun to watch. Him and Conrad are just too cool, too good!! Speaking about strictly climbing Dan Osman was siiick too. Wbu?
Incredibly inspirational young man. The words “Go rest high on that mountain” seem to be written for this mountaineer.
''It is better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than long life spent in a miserable way.''
---Alan Watts
That's true dear many people not happy they look themselve even rich people
It is better to live longer life without risk death adventures than short risky and extreme one. Me
Like you drink do drug's no happiness ?
It is best to live a life of service, other centeredness and lovingkindness. With those motives, you are sure to have an enormously peaceful and happy life plus your loved ones are at peace.
What experience does Watts have ?
I came to know these awesome people just recently and the things they did they will continue to inspire the youths. I almost watch their videos everyday since I found them. RIp and thank you for the inspiration.
Such sad news 😔
A man who truly explored the heights of this world 🗻
Now his spirit has the universe to discover 💫
Great tribute, thankyou 🙏
Duck Lover
Now his spirit has the universe to discover. Couldn’t agree more
He will always be a legend in my eyes.
What a guy🥰
R.i.p buddy
ahhh no, sad news
Hayden Kennedy, Uli steck and now Lama.
"do not go gently into that good night, rage, rage against the dying of the light"
A beautiful tribute, Justin! Thank you for sharing. Rest In Peace, David...you are remembered!💗
I always think about the amazing things he could have done if he got older and more experienced. He was probably the most talented climber alve and he would have gone on to make insane first ascents. RIP
He was an all around great climber. Super hard to be in today’s world.
maximus Um. No. He wasn’t that good. Soon as anyone diee they become insta hero for failing. Stupid.
R.I.P David...you left us much too young 😭
My boyfriend who was a mountaineer had died at the age of 28 in 2001. One cannot die at that age, one simply cannot accept it....
It's a very young age to die at, I'm sorry for your loss.
Conni- Switzerland I’m sorry for you, and wish you the very best. x
That comes with the game unfortunately. It's extremely dangerous.
Thank to all.. 🙏💖, my boyfriend was my mountain guide, after which I never climbed a mountain again!!! Two years have passed since the terrible disappearance of Ueli Steck, another immense pain for Switzerland 🙏😪. The climbers and Sherpas of those levels are not human but rather superhuman to be able to do what they do. Every mountaineer who dies is an immense loss for humanity😑😓😭.
God Bless you
I admire him deeply for his attitude, circumsight and way to climb!
a terrible and sad proof that outdoors, some risks can only be minimized but never eliminated.
With time in the mountains, one day your luck might run out.
Spoczywaj w pokoju Dawidzie!
Happened in my back yard, Banff is one of if not the most beautiful places on earth..RIP to the three
Beautiful video- thank you for sharing this... what an amazing young man. So sad for his family and friends.
The world lost a truly exceptional guy. Such a short but to the max life! Rest in peace.
I like to think he died young, but lived long.
Il tuo spirito libero tra le vette,...
Condoglianze alla famiglia 🙏
thanks for sharing this well done and inspiring compilation video... those guys like uehki and david Inreally admire over any other sportsmen because of their strenght, great technique (can you imagine all required skills under pressure?) ability to go beyond no return possibilities... and their humbleness.
