On today’s episode of The Firn Line, we’ll get to know world-renowned and visionary alpinist, David Lama. • The son of Nepalese and Austrian parents, David was was born with an affinity for movement over natural terrain, and a deep reverence for the high places.  As a youngster, Lama excelled at indoor and sport climbing, dominating the competition circuit, and honing his rock climbing skills to the highest standards.  But eventually, a natural progression to the mountains occurred - which has culminated in a multitude of ground-breaking ascents in Patagonia, The Himalaya and beyond. • I recently got a chance to sit down with David in Anchorage, Alaska - to have a candid conversation about his life as a climber, and the vision he follows as an alpinist.  We talked about everything, from his early days as a competition climber, to a life-changing experience on the southeast ridge of Cerro Torre, to his meaningful relationship with fellow climber and friend Conrad Anker, to the limitless ideas and projects that lie ahead. • We started our conversation by talking about David’s natural inclination to climb as a youngster, and how a fateful meeting with famous Austrian mountaineer, Peter Habeler, helped steer the trajectory of David’s life - from the confines of rock gyms, to the limitless arena of the mountains. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Music: http://www.evanphillips.bandcamp.com/ ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Links: http://www.david-lama.com/ www.thefirnline.com www.patreon.com/thefirnline www.evanphillips.net ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Sponsors: www.alaskarockgym.com www.moosestooth.net www.hoardingmarmot.com www.behindthesuntherapeutics.com ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Cover Photo: M.

Ep 16: David Lama

In 2009 professional sport climber David Lama declared that he would summit the great mountain in Patagonia called Cerro Torre. Known around the world as one of the most difficult alpine ascents Lama proposed to make the climb up the 3128 meter spire via the infamous and highly controversial Compressor Route. But unlike those who had successfully reached the top this young athlete then only 19 years old planed to climb using just the rock’s natural features and aided by bolts and ropes only for protection in case of a fall, a technique known as free climbing. But veteran Patagonia climbers like Jim Bridwell believed that free climbing Cerro Torre was impossible.But undeterred by skeptics Lama would spend the next three years in pursuit of his goal. Having achieved a free climb ascent of the summit in 2012 his story is now the subject of a new film that premiered at the 2014 Banff Mountain Film Festival called Cerro Torre: A Snowball’s Chance in Hell.Theme music by Jake ShimabukuroThis edition the Joy Trip Project was made possible thanks to the support of the Banff Mountain Film &amp; Book Festival at the Banff Centre, inspiring creativity .
