RIP, David Lama and Hansjörg Auer who died in 2019 descending Howse Peak in Canada.
This is what mountaineering should be - well prepared, good planning, good judgement, no stupidity or ego drama. Only adventure and beauty.

nice!

Don’t you mean Russians?
Is there a video?
Very sad to read that David Lama and Hansjörg Auer have since died. This is a breathtaking video that captures this amazingly difficult climb really well!
How did they die?

I'm strangely obsessed with mountain climbing even though it's something I'll never do!. This is the 1st video I've watched on Annapurna and damn, does it look treacherous!
I love watching videos like this one but i would never ever even try to climb em
I’m obsessed too, it’s a TH-cam algorithm that we both tripped over that has lead to our obsession.
same here. it’s fascinating.
I can barely climb a hill but I too am obsessed with mountain climbing.
Has anyone seen Meru? It’s on amazon prime. I’d highly recommend.
David and Hansjorg succumb to avalanche in Canadian Rockies 4/18/19. RIP
I happen to see this video only now ! And also learned that two of the climbers are not any more. Sad to know that. Someone said either you scale the peak or the peak scales you
Praque Forqsk
Youve clearly never been anywhere near an avalanche
Praque Forqsk - You we’re buried 6 feet deep by an avalanche? What an idiot! Should have done your homework and planned your route more carefully!☝️🤨
@@EnlightenedRogue24 You can't fix stupid, so don't bother to try and explain.
Enlightened Rogue Yes, 'What an idiot' Praque Forqsk must be. I pray he's a bit smarter than 'sorin sm'.
Rest In Peace, David. You were so inspirational 😢. I watched this video so many times.
Nursultan yeah it’s so so sad 😢💔 he never even got to Mount Everest. Does anybody know why he hasn’t ever summited Everest??
Me too :) RIP David
RIP Hans
*RIP David, Hans, and Jess!* 😢💔
La la la Everest isn’t considered the hardest climb. Maybe it wasn’t his top priority.
I would have died on the first hundred feet of this climb, either by fall or heart attack. Living vicariously through TH-cam, I tip my hat to those able to live such fearless and fulfilled lives.
Absolutely incredible what the human spirit can accomplish unburdened by doubt and apathy.
I get a headache in Squaw Valley.
i died after looking at the ridgeline
Hats off to the editor for accurately capturing the danger, beauty, thrill, and sheer anxiety of an epic months long effort in 12 minutes. David’s climbed to Heaven but his spirit lives on here.
The cinematography is unbelievable. So sorry to hear of their passing in Canada.
They seem like normal humans when they are in their tents; just mates chatting and planning ….. it's only when you see what they do and where they do it you realise there is nothing normal about these guys.
RIP David Lama.
RIP David Lama and Hansjorg Auer. You guys are still alive in our hearts.
Rest in peace David Lama. You were one of my inspirations to start climbing. You will always be remembered and missed.
“The mountain always has the last say”
ssebudde ibrahim Mountains don't engage in dialogue, so there's that.
No dialogue necessary here to know what mountain thinks
Rajmund Csombordi FUCK OFF AND FALL OF THE FACE OF ME BITCH. LMAO
Off*
ssebudde ibrahim "the last word always belongs to mountain" that's the quote from Everest movie if we're thinking about the same thing.
I can’t believe the level of stamina required (physically and mentally) to even attempt something like this. You mountain climbers are just a different breed man! Truly living on the edge.
What a beautifully insane way to live haha. Safe climbing folks
Rip
Just learned of David's death. He'll always live on in the climbing universe.
omg don't tell me this don't don't
Damn i was going to look and see if they came back to finish
always better to live to climb another day. well done david lama
GREER --- are you saying he didn't climb it?
It's not about summit or mountain, but it's about the climb. The climb will never stop.
@@miguelperezpal :-(
@@miguelperezpal you don't need to mention it here
@@purely-planted ok sorry
I’m in shock. I’ve watched every David Lama video I can find. He became a hero and inspiration after saving Conrad Anker’s life. RIP Mr. Lama, Heaven must have the finest mountain climbing of all
How did he save his life?
Mike Rothwell Conrad was having a heart attack on the mountain. He carried him down.
He ended up completing that climb alone after bringing Conrad down also. Kid was a beast and primed to do big things. Sad to see.
He was truly one of the most technically gifted mountaineers I’ve ever seen.
8:05 Woahh don't look down! Nicely done David 👊🏼
Red Bull I lo
You know your life is amazing when red bull comes to comment on your video!
hes a redbull athlete though
Hey Red Bull, you gave him wings, why worry?
That sharp vertical edge packed with snow, and the sheer drops on either side ... just made all the adrenaline go straight to my legs!!! WOW.
when a helicopter drops you off & then the helicopter DESCENDS.... well that's when you know you're in the big leagues!
jinkees i'll say!
Omg.....you’re so right.....holy smokes.......
haha
Years ago I was rock climbing a big face. My partner and I hear a helicopter about half a mile behind us. When we finally saw it the helicopter was flying below us. We were actually on a rock face higher then the helicopter.
Shouldnt count if you don't start climbing at the sea level tbh
This has to be some the best photography / filming of climbing mountains ever, absolutely incredible. I'm so sad to hear this great man is no longer with us :(
It is incredibly impressive. I wonder what gear and editing software they used. Too bad they're no longer here to tell us.
@@AmyAnnLand watch the film meru
@@jackhew93 Exactly
@@AmyAnnLand pretty sure its all gopros that theyre carrying while climbing, down in the base camp there is one other cameraman with really good long distance zoom cameras capturing them

had to rewatch all his stuff. Truly a generational talent .. you will be missed
To know when to climb and when to not and ready to go back is what makes you real mountaineer. You are inspiration. RIP. You will be missed. ❤️🙏

That was incredible to watch. I’ve been watching mountaineering videos for years and I still can’t fathom where they get the strength and courage to do this. That moment where he was walking on the ridge was epic. It’s when the camera zooms out and you see how small and insignificant they are against the mountain. Just incredible
Absolutely Ditto.

@@alanmakesfilm5253 Alex Honnold is no doubt a beast but way more calculated climber. This is way more intense given the extreme conditional (altitude, steep rockface, and weather) and the simple facts its all new climbing routes.

Makes climbing Everest look like a walk in the park.
Compared to this it really seems like it
Its incombarable. This is different sport!
Apparently it is. In some of the more difficult parts of the route to the summit of Everest, permanent ladders and ropes have been installed. On good weather days, anyone who is reasonably fit and well-equipped can summit Everest. If the weather turns foul, then its a whole different story.
Sharath Shivashankar I doubt it. But yes, Everest may be the tallest mountain, but it’s not the hardest or most dangerous
@@bandabanderos hence why a 13 yr old a 90 yr old a one legged man and a blind man have all scaled everest. Hmmmm. Reasonably fit for everest MODERN day was a pretty appropriate statement
Only one …RIP guys…and from bottom of my heart RESPECT!!!
I just rewatched this video. I had strong goosebumps when I read "They are already planning their return to Annapurna III".
Rest in peace David and Hansjoerg, you were and are a true inspiration.
What does that mean, they died on the same mountain adventure.
these guys are some badass climbers and smart enough to know how to live to climb a nother day. hats off guys👏
well he just died this week in Canada
They're died 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@miguelperezpal so sad😢😢😢😢😢😢
Sadly, this comment doesn't hold up over time... :(
dying is in this way is not badass, it's stupid and selfish
one of the hardest climbs in all of the Himalayas, and a very dangerous mountain.
annapurna.
this is Annapurna III, not the Annapurna (eight-thousander).
Has it been climbed yet?
@@superyid2010 yeah
@@superyid2010 Annapurna three has been climbed through a different easier route compared to this route which David lama and the other two mountaineers attempted . This is one of the toughest routes to a summit in Himalayas only one team before these three guys have attempted it decades ago but they too had to turn back due to bad weather . The southeast ridge the route these guys attempted is still unclimbed.
@@harshtiwari7503 Very interesting, thanks for the reply!
Rest In Peace David! 3 years ago you left this world but we still miss and remember you!
Hansjörg Auer as well. RIP
Amazing - totally impressed; real alpine climbing. Makes Everest look like a walk in the park (which I know it isn't).
@SharkyPPL annapurna is slightly worse
@SharkyPPL no its cho oyu
K2 in winter no oxygen is the hardest
@SharkyPPL Everest is not a technical mountain to be specific but don't get it wrong , well experienced mountaineers have died at Everest as well. Rope setups from all those years have made it easy for others to climb. Whereas Annapurna is literally a death wish.
@@isotonic9002 At winter even Everest is the deadliest. Tf is you talking about.
RIP young heroes. What a group of legends.
I would pay to watch all 3 days of footage of that climb if it's available. Incredible
"The unclimbed south-east ridge of Annapurna III." this part is important..the first ascent was done in 1961 via the northeast ridge
This is so refreshing from watching a line up of over a hundred people trying to climb Everest, and looking at dead people who didn't make it. Well done and GOOD LUCK! Don't be the first body on that mountain it looks formidable!
sylvia koziarski 53 bodies are still their relaxing...
@@ninnjachacha1240 *there
First body? Sadly no.. Annapurna III and Gasherbraum twins have all been tried and have all claimed lives.
You lived your life to the max !
Now RIP
Just watched this video and was sad to find out David and Hansjorg are gone. They died doing what they loved and their legacy will live on.
RIP david. Such a young mam with a bright future ahead of him.
There are no words. Just rewatched this with a heavy heart. I'm really, really, really hoping the weather lets up to allow rescuers to resume/conduct a detailed search for David, Hans, and Jess. I don't know these guys personally but they're incredible climbers and people.
Edit: RIP guys, you were all phenomenal.
what happened to them?
@@nicktyler5158 snowbrains.com/3-prominent-climbers-are-missing-presumed-dead-after-avalanche-in-banff-national-park1/ it looks like

Holy shit. That's sad. RIP

@ryan rogers Same as condolences
I wish there were English subtitles while they were having that heavy conversation. I feel like this short video captures just a tiny bit of how intense it must have been. Amazing.
If you turn on Closed Captioning, its in english! i found that out and rewatched that section.
yeah, the subs are sufficient enough and quite accurate.
The main question is who is filming that scene and why isn’t he saying anything?
Is it a setup for building a climax?

German subs would be sweet as well. Can't understand Austrians for the most part. 😳
excited, curious, full of courage, tired, long way, hope full, bad weather, disheartened, hopeful, disheartened, hopeful, bad weather, hopeless , climb down, feeling lost, defeated but wisdom kicks in. gratitude for coming this far and next time. when climbing mountains, your courage matter up to some height after that, its your body chemistry vs mountains chemistry.
R.I.P. David Lama and Hansjörg Auer, two of the greatest alpine climbers of all times.
brothers, although the peak remains unclimbed, you all three are winners
The brave decision to return home safe instead of summit fever
Apparently, the mountain has been summitted, just not from the south. So the title is a little misleading.
@@sergioortiz8219 - Right. First summit was in 1961, northeast face. Wikipedia. Unfortunately, in the "#1 or none" world, Annapurna III is the 42nd highest mountain, less than 8000m (no "death zone") so I really didn't bother searching further to see if "Firstresponder 45" was bullshitting or not. I do recall seeing something about a guy who amazed everyone with an incredibly fast climb - but I can't remember the mountain, and I cannot remember if he snowboarded down. (I do not qualify as mountain mad, so I just watched for entertainment, not to make mental notes of names.) "Snowboarding down mountain" would probably get a few hits.
@@sergioortiz8219 - One guy skied down K2. th-cam.com/video/7ZRqeRRik8c/w-d-xo.html I suppose that would be possible on Everest, too.
@@davesmith5656 -- since it's not very tall, and not K2, it really isn't going to get any attention.... it's another ho-hum mountain....unless you summit it and do so in harsh conditions and without bottles and do it solo, it's not going to generate any views.
This is one of the few instances in modern times in which a group of man seek an adventure
No safety ropes to stop your fall, no paved path, no room for error.
Just a pure and raw thirst for testing one's own limits, and going beyond them.
You were awesome, and I don't care about the editing, the fact that you went there and risked it all to stand where no man has before, is enough.
Next time, plant that flag on the peak and win
9:44 great view of Mount Machhapuchre
The perfect mountain. Proud to say I climbed Mardi Himal, a 5585m shoulder of Machhapuchre. Must go back!
Macchapucchre is beautiful from all angles
I love how mountains make us realize we're so small, so incredibly small in front of nature.
yes ,the Ocean is like that for me as well
David you been such an inspiration, Rest in peace.
“How did y’all get that shot?”
-Me during the whole video
I've watched this 5 times in the last 24 hours, David we miss you
Always the unpredictable that takes the best, specifically the avalanche.... RIP David, truly an inspiration, even for the non climber such as myself! Rest well and ty for being you!
They lived a bold life, thats more than most can say.
@Internacional Boxing all boxers have brain damage
It is frightening just to watch this climb sitting in my living room, I cannot imagine what it would be like trying to climb rock and snow in almost vertical assent like these men did.

This is scary even to look at! South face of Annapurna III is brutal, I've seen it this spring with my own eyes and it's the most stunning mountain of Annapurna range for me. It's north side is piece of cake comparing to the south wall, my jaws just dropped at the sight of it! It's great that you all got down in time and in one piece! Congrats on having balls of steel to even try it!
AG -- yes, this is a ballsy attempt. coming back down is death for sure
Considering how massive that glacier and icefall on the northern side look, no light comparison.
As somebody who's actually been there, what's your opinion on Annapurna II from the northeast? That's the one that sends shivers down my spine whenever I see pictures of it.
David's father is Nepalese (lama,sherpa) amd he is back to his roots.....hell of a good genes.
Cyber Law I was thinking this guy looks like a sherpa
lama is not sherpa, it means monk
no name not in this case it doesn't mean monk. Just because your last name is Lama it doesn't mean you're a monk.
@@southpawlibranine3511 -- he is of Sherpa roots
no name Nope. Lamas’ are like Sherpas’ in Nepal.
The best part the team knew when to go ahead and when to return back even when their mission wasn’t accomplished, there is always second time, only if you are safe and smart, this team demonstrated that characteristics distinctly.

Love and thoughts go out to Hansbjørg og David`s family. They were too young to leave.. At least they did so while doing what they love, which is honorable. May their souls find peace
RIP to these guys. When I first saw this video, I thought they were super human. Its been a absolute pleasure to watch them in action.
I have never rock climbed outside of a climbing gym and a few mountain warfare training exercises in Montana while in the military. Still, I am addicted to climbing documentaries. There is something so amazing about watching the people that devote their lives to the sport. I can't stop watching this stuff. Its beautiful and admirable.
..at lease they knew when to give up and try at a later time. 99% of deaths attribute to selfish climbers hoping to reach the summit forgetting to save alittle in the gas tank for the decent. This was a very in depth look at true snow climbing..not just walking on fixed ropes in a que... very skilled individuals.
Ohhhh My Gosh....what a summit to climb!!!!!
Amazing brave heart attempt...nail biting.
Also, the video is truly magnificent at such crucial summit but I love it so much way the it was shoot, editing and final copy. Hats off to mountainers to video team.
RIP David..you will be missed
Wow. One can only draw inspiration and admiration from this. It's always great to see another well documented trip that ended so well. Safe climbing to all that have the bravery and sheer guts to attempt these climbs! x
Just got back from the Annapurna region, blown away with the beauty and power of a land that demands respect and in no uncertain terms dictates that you will play by the rules of the mountains.......
I’m obsessed with mountaineers videos about Everest, K2 and now Annapurna. But my got this on is scary. Those images taken by the body camera. 😱
Amazing footage and beautifully edited. Badass dudes!

Wise enough to know when to back off. I can only imagine how hard of a decision that was, after spending so much time, money and effort to get that far.
From about the 8 minute mark, I don’t think I’ve watched anything that intense, you can literally wring the sweat from my hands like a soaking wet towel. This video was absolutely stunning, that’s how you climb a mountain, unlike these overcrowded Everest expedition. I do understand that’s still not easy, but this was on a different level.
