DAVID LAMA
CLIMBER

David had the mind of an engineer and the heart of a humanitarian and will be remembered by us as the most passionate climber we’ve ever encountered.

To say David Lama represented just the dynamic nature of climbing would be an understatement as his name was synonymous with the progression of the sport. At a young age, he took his skills as a sport climber to the top level, winning competitions from 2004 to 2008.

But even with this competition's success, David was at home climbing and skiing taller peaks. In 2012 his free ascent of the Compressor Route on Cerro Torre was considered a landmark ascent of alpine climbing. In 2018, he realized his dream of summiting Lunag Ri in his father’s home country of Nepal, a first ascent that will be forever remembered as his.

Our team, the climbing community, and the sport will miss him dearly.
