I am from Innsbruck, i met David from time to time in the climbing halls.. We weren't friends or something, but i talked to him a few times in my life, and I feel for his family, the other climbers that got lost, and their families too! Cheers from Innsbruck, austria
It's sad, David was my fav climber. I remember watching Conrad Anker and David climb together they were so amazing. Everyone knows the risks especially those who do high Alpine climbing so it's terribly tragic but also romantic to die doing what you love. The fact that they were so young and could have done so much more in their careers leaves a big what if, it's terrible for their families and the community as a whole but I feel that if you were to ask those three they have lived so much more than everyone else. Truly amazing men!
I‘m from the same part of Austria as David and Hansjörg and the entire community here is still crushed by the news. We all were hoping for a miracle but it is so sad that the unbelievable happened.
David Lama is only a month younger than myself. So from right when i started climbing and he startet drifting away from plastic, for me, he always was the bechmark of whats possible for his/my age. So i followed his achievements a lot closer than other climbers. Although i never met him, the news were a punch in the guts a left a numb feeling. I wish the people closest to these three all the strength in the world!
Mattie Taylor yea all 3 legends who you think nothing would happen to cuz they know what they are doing but it just shows accidents do happen things go crazy and anybody no matter how great they are can die smh it so sad
This huge tragedy just reminds me of the risk of things that are out of our control. I sometimes fall into the habit of thinking that if I don't mess up, I'm good, but evidently that's not always the case.
David Lama was only 28... gone much too soon. He was mentored by Conrad Anker. Not only did we lose an incredibly talented elite climber/alpinist, the world has lost a great mentor to the next generation of climbers...
@@Deathranger999 dude sounds as childish and cheesy as a kid asking santa for a christmas present. People fucking die. Move the fuck on with your fuckin life instead of crying about how they inspired you. FFS.
@@phannypack3951 That is like saying humans do not revere a hero's journey and that we don't idolize anything including social structure. I hope I never have to share a cold one with you
phanny pack Yeah, people die. And when they’ve had a lot of impact on others, they show respect by mourning them. If you can’t handle that, fuck off. You don’t need to shit all over other people’s mourning when it doesn’t affect you in the least.
This tired, lame cliché argument doesn't work. You trade in the "highs" for the rest of your life for a short-term buzz. That's a bad "equation". Add to that the buzz gets harder and harder to achieve, just like the thrill of speed, so you go to more and more risk to get it. It's a totally selfish quest which drags others (family and rescue services) down.
@@SearchBucket2 lol stop trying to justify your boring life. Fact is they have lived the time of their lives while you will just die miserably no matter how long you manage to "live".
So hard. That route is in our backyard and we will wince every time we see it. Peace and healing to the families and friends and the mountain community as a whole.
I’d be cool if the 8c counter became a 8c+ or harder counter. Then the combined race with the 9b counter would be much more meaningful I’d also be ok with just finished it out. It’s fun to watch how much of a cluster it is :P
In the 8c counter you could have it as a monthy comp. Whoever gets the most boulders in the month gains a point and wnoeverr getts the most points at the end of the 12 months wins.
When you are out in nature, in a risky environment, you should NOT be thinking about competition with anyone, there is quite enough thinking to be done and focused on with what is at hand, and beating someone at it should not even enter the equation because it distracts and distractions can be what kills. It is enough to focus on what YOU are doing without contemplating what the OTHER person is doing in a dangerous situation. People who are trying to set speed records are often killed! One false move and it can be over, just like that. But often the young feel they are immortal! While I admire many of these competitors, and speed may be the basis for so many sports, it should NOT be considered in a few of them!
I dont climb now but i did alot of climbing when i was a teenager and bouldring was my stuff. I found Davids youtube videos last year and was instantly hooked on what contend he did and search out other climbers doing the same. to learn of these 3 great outdorsmen’s passing is sad, so i hope that the families can find a little confort in knowing they moved alot of people in a good and positive ways
This is a strange tribute. These guys were legends and also incredibly kind hearted. The guy on the left seems like he couldn't give a shit about them. He seems bitter towards them trying to imply that they weren't really climbers. They were at the top of the sport climbing for North Face while you sit and do TH-cam videos. Thanks for the 'tribute'.
This is a nice little tribute, and it is nice they made it. At least the second speaker is able to pronounce the name Hansjörg Auer reasonably correctly.
We lost three of the all time world elite in climbing and alpinsm. Three heroes that inspired and motivated tens of thounds around the world. Personally I was deeply inspired by Hansjorg as there were some similarities in our CVs...
Come on guys, Felipe Camargo put up such a great text on Instagram when he sent the route. He talked about having just heard from David and remembered their time together while feeling all the preassure of sending on the last day. He was there with Ethan Pringle and Chris Sharma and was a great send. He drank beer from his climbing shoes. What more do you need?
Jess and his father John are legends in the mountaineering world, but also here in the Pacific Northwest of America. Sad outcome but not totally unexpected in the mountains 😢RIP 🙏🏻
Appreciate the tributes, especially for Hans and Jess. David leaves us a solid film history but the background on Hansjörger and Jess were great context. Leave the full 8C counter just to watch the name struggle. Always giggle-worthy.
@@lordofall9030 also ... almost forgot ... i welcome all physical challenges, so pack a lunch and bring some friends ya prick, cause you're in for an all day job
Hey fellas, in the future could you spend a couple minutes on the safety aspect of what lead to there deaths? Doing so would be a tasteful approach to help prevent future deaths. A short and public case study has potentially massive value. Speaking as a group of three climbers also from Alberta who would prefer not to die... Cheers!
April is the most dangerous month of the year for avalanches in the Rockies, a combination of warming temperatures and high precipitation make for very dangerous conditions.
Can't really do much if you get caught in an avalanche tbh - works that way A LOT - some of the BEST climbers have never failed on their climbing but avalanche has taken many of them. Just be aware of the weather and your surroundings! Stay safe!
I would like to motion that the 8C counter be changed to the 8C+ counter. It's obvious that the "equivalent" to 9B is 8C+, not 8C. You know it's the right thing to do. Please Epic TV!
I am not as familiar with this rating system (im from the US, and I only boulder, sport, and occasionally trad climb). Would you mind explaining your rationale?
@@arnoldkotlyarevsky383 I think just based on the number of people doing it. The grades are different, but if the difficulties are comparable you'd expect about the same number of people to be completing them. But obviously a lot more people are climbing 8c boulders compared to 9b routes.
@@arnoldkotlyarevsky383 Ya, I don't mean to suggest that 8C and 9B are the same difficulty (because it's arbitrary). All I'm saying is the rates of completion for 8C+ (V16) and 9b (5.15b) are more similiar than 8C (V15) vs. 9b. Therefore, they should stop counting V15, because they don't count 5.15a sends.
Remember seeing David at the european bouldering championship when he was a youngster and Damm the kid was so strong! such as shame to loose 3 great climbers like this,
I went to the sight of Mt Howse the day after they revived their bodies - i came there to honour these beloved amazing climbers and placed flowers in the area - I could literally feel these three men hovering over the whole area - devastating news but I wonder could have parks Canada rescue team done more on Wednesday right after the avalanche to rescue them ?
You'll probably have to wait for an accident report to be made before getting a definitive answer to your question but I doubt any action taken by the park service could have saved any lives here. In the case of a burial, the odds of surviving an avalanche drop off pretty quickly even after half an hour. Almost all rescues are made by members of a victim's party. On terrain like these guys like to climb, even a small avalanche which doesn't result in any burial at all could be fatal just due to the trauma involved. The best way to survive an avalanche is always not to get caught in the first place.
@@klara502 Physical trauma. Even relatively small avalanches can result in broken necks, punctured lungs, or other kinds of serious injuries which need immediate medical attention.
This has been a huge loss to the climbing community but we can only remember them and support other who will be that kind of calibre in the future. Also, the 8c counter should just be changed to one or two grades harder instead of being banned completely
Rip to the three i cant judge u i can't fault u i was impressed by u three i got a fear of heights 20 ft don't bother me but i get above that i get anxiety vertigo u guys videos give me encouragement to go higher to fall i guess just part of life u three walked on top of the world how the air smell up there for a moment being on top of a mountain done something accomplished something i gonna try to climb 25 ft next week its a start.
Oh! An avalanche! I wondered how all three could die all at once, a fall was unlikely, but of course, an avalanche is out of their control, that's Mother Nature and you cannot control her! Tragic. An avalanche can cover a person with only a couple of feet or so of snow, and it's like cement around you and you can not get out, and you can't see where they are; that's where the dogs can save lives if they get to the area soon enough. Very sad for these 3, RIP.
It's your show! Scrap the 8c counter if you dont like it! The customer is not always right.... there's too many good climbers for two people to try to keep track of.
Knowning the Rockies in the spring in Alberta many know that the melting, snowing and raining that happens because of the Chinook winds makes the Mountains in Banff National Park very prone to avalanches. Skiing Sunshine or Louise since the 80's we all know that the resort workers are constantly blasting the mountain sides to bring down the unstable snow pack. Locals that disregard the facts tend to die, which always shocks no one. Very sad, but not shocking. 😔 Sad that foreigners came to die. Research saves lives. RIP
I just started climbing, and i didn't know them but they were incredibly talented, i hope they can still climb in an another world, i hope they can still fall so they can get up and try to achieve that climb. Rest In Peace😢
Not sure if you cover the ascents from mellow's channel, but they posted two 8C+ ascents from Guiliano Cameroni recently: th-cam.com/video/VKpn_X5yiZA/w-d-xo.html . There are a couple more hard climbs on the channel.
Super sad to hear about those deaths. Good job on the tribute. I'd be fine without the 8c counter. You guys should take a look at and start carrying Boulder Denim.
what are you doing up there? Find the sense of life itself. What has man become? Read the KJV, search the truth, open your eyes, wake up.. So many mountaineers are dying and deceiving for fame. You can overcome a mountain but can not overcome your own craving? be humble. God is real and he has a purpose for our lives.
Push to hard and you break through. Glad I am content in life and not having to ish tp such extremes to find satisfaction. I don’t have to impress anyone: - )
Super experience climbers, trying to climb a crazy mountain side full of snow end of April. Just why, the weather is warming up you stay away from this kind of mountains till June...
@@ryanjacob8786 I guess they ignore the warnings, parks Canada have a high level warning for avalanches this time of the year. It's a shame, hope their sponsors didn't pressure this guys to go into this situation.
As much as I love climbing and feel bad for those guys, I can't stop thinking THIS whole feeling bad for them is as sick as sick can get, I mean we think is news when 3 guys die doing what they love while we just do not mention EVER the fact 25,000 children die every single day from hunger while there is at least 10 times more resources on the planet than necessary to remove every single person from poverty if we weren't so damn racists and we actually gave two flying ... PS.:Hate me all you want. I don't care!
Too many people are climbing 8C, just make it a 9A counter. Also not enough representation of women, give them a sport 9A+ counter so that we here about more epic female climbers.
@@ennuidefiance3259 I have two things to say about that: -The ratio on men to women is climbing is awful and if young girls don't have figures to look up to, they'll think of climbing as another male dominated sport and never start in the first place. -Secondly, there are biological differences between men and women and as far as I remember the only woman to climb 9B is Angelina Eiter. I don't even know the names of half the dudes climbing 9B, if they reduce it to 9A+ for women then it'll make it more accessible and move 1 step closer to the 50:50 ratio of representation that climbing should aim to have.
Talal Siksek nothing should have a 50/50 split...just because men are more physically capable doesnt mean women should be held to a different standard so it appears as though they are equal. it fine that the majority of high level climbers are male....there is no moral need to change that or how it appears. Also, it possoble for a youung person to look up to or admire someone of a differnet sex than them.
@@ennuidefiance3259 So why do they split bouldering comps into men and women competitions? And I agree it is fine that the best climbers in the world are men, from the time they can start to climb men have a higher muscle to weight ratio, that's how nature designed humans but it's unfair on women trying to reach the highest levels on climbing, which is why when Eiter did a 9B it was so much more impressive than a man climbing a 9B. I agree with your last point that our heroes should be of all genders, but we're preconditioned by society to think otherwise, that's why my heroes are mostly men and girls heroes are mostly women.
Talal Siksek I wasnt talking about a competition, I meant in the climbing community the standards shouldnt be different. and honestly at that level (janja garbrant, akiyo noguchi) the women could climb the mens route and sometimes they start on the same route then it splits, but as far as men competing against women obviously that is unfair. And besides climbing is so technical that it isn't always avout how big and strong you are its about power to weight ratio which benefits women more than in other sports
Why there deaths meant so much? So other deaths, like non northface athletes dont mean as much just because most humans dont free climb cerro torre. Please. This is why i dislike this channel, such a weird vibe

I hung up my tools 26 years ago. I saw the writing on the wall. RIP
Boys, you are doing quite fine.
Could've these 3 deaths been prevented, if the 3 climbers have had descended keeping some large distance between them?
what are you doing up there? Find the sense of life itself. What has man become? Read the KJV, search the truth, open your eyes, wake up..
So many mountaineers are dying and deceiving for fame. You can overcome a mountain but can not overcome your own craving? be humble. God is real and he has a purpose for our lives.
😪😓😭😓😪😭😓😪😭😓😪😭😓😪😭
Killing 8c counter is ok! 9B is the only one that matters. Maybe moving 8c into an 9a?
Shall We Climb? Maybe 8C+ wouod be better as there are only two possible 9A's with one looking like maybe it's not even a 9a?
@@Sebbythelegofan Yeah, sounds like a good idea! :D
Push to hard and you break through. Glad I am content in life and not having to ish tp such extremes to find satisfaction. I don’t have to impress anyone: - )
R.I.P BOYS. say hi to everyone up there for us.
I doubt if they are "up there".
Information content = Zero - I could have done that myself...
Fuuuuukeeeeeerrsssss DWOODS climbed The Kingdom 8C last week... were that at?
Have fun..oops no more fun
Straight from a tribute to three great climbers who sadly died to infantile lists and childish errrmmm banter. Not appropriate.
Super experience climbers, trying to climb a crazy mountain side full of snow end of April. Just why, the weather is warming up you stay away from this kind of mountains till June...
Same thoughts here.did they ignore the warning?
@@ryanjacob8786
I guess they ignore the warnings, parks Canada have a high level warning for avalanches this time of the year. It's a shame, hope their sponsors didn't pressure this guys to go into this situation.
Kind of classless to have a plug for your arcteryx mercy in this particular description. Makes this seem pretty disingenuine.
8c counter out por favor.
Great loss to whole climbing community..r.i.p
As much as I love climbing and feel bad for those guys, I can't stop thinking THIS whole feeling bad for them is as sick as sick can get, I mean we think is news when 3 guys die doing what they love while we just do not mention EVER the fact 25,000 children die every single day from hunger while there is at least 10 times more resources on the planet than necessary to remove every single person from poverty if we weren't so damn racists and we actually gave two flying ...
PS.:Hate me all you want. I don't care!
I hate your guts. ;-)
Scrap the 8c counter. Bouldering doesn't count as climbing :p
Too many people are climbing 8C, just make it a 9A counter. Also not enough representation of women, give them a sport 9A+ counter so that we here about more epic female climbers.
Talal Siksek women should climb harder routes if they want more representation....obviously.
@@ennuidefiance3259 I have two things to say about that:
-The ratio on men to women is climbing is awful and if young girls don't have figures to look up to, they'll think of climbing as another male dominated sport and never start in the first place.
-Secondly, there are biological differences between men and women and as far as I remember the only woman to climb 9B is Angelina Eiter. I don't even know the names of half the dudes climbing 9B, if they reduce it to 9A+ for women then it'll make it more accessible and move 1 step closer to the 50:50 ratio of representation that climbing should aim to have.
Talal Siksek nothing should have a 50/50 split...just because men are more physically capable doesnt mean women should be held to a different standard so it appears as though they are equal. it fine that the majority of high level climbers are male....there is no moral need to change that or how it appears. Also, it possoble for a youung person to look up to or admire someone of a differnet sex than them.
@@ennuidefiance3259 So why do they split bouldering comps into men and women competitions?
And I agree it is fine that the best climbers in the world are men, from the time they can start to climb men have a higher muscle to weight ratio, that's how nature designed humans but it's unfair on women trying to reach the highest levels on climbing, which is why when Eiter did a 9B it was so much more impressive than a man climbing a 9B.
I agree with your last point that our heroes should be of all genders, but we're preconditioned by society to think otherwise, that's why my heroes are mostly men and girls heroes are mostly women.
Talal Siksek I wasnt talking about a competition, I meant in the climbing community the standards shouldnt be different. and honestly at that level (janja garbrant, akiyo noguchi) the women could climb the mens route and sometimes they start on the same route then it splits, but as far as men competing against women obviously that is unfair. And besides climbing is so technical that it isn't always avout how big and strong you are its about power to weight ratio which benefits women more than in other sports
Why there deaths meant so much? So other deaths, like non northface athletes dont mean as much just because most humans dont free climb cerro torre. Please. This is why i dislike this channel, such a weird vibe
This is so sad
Alexa play Despacito😭😭😭😭
