Video: High Spirits in Nepal - Climbing Lunag Ri with David Lama and Conrad Anker
This past November, David Lama and Conrad Anker – two of the top mountaineers in the world – traveled to Nepal to attempt the first ascent of Lunag Ri, a 6907 meter (22,660 ft) peak found on the border with Tibet. The duo put in a valiant attempt, becoming the first climbers to reach the mountain's headwall, but ultimately they were turned back by high winds and freezing cold temperatures.

Video: POV Footage of David Lama Climbing Lunag Ri
Last fall, mountaineers David Lama and Conrad Anker traveled to Nepal to attempt the unclimbed peak known as Lunag Ri. While they were unable to summit, they did manage to reach the mountain's massive headwall, which was an accomplishment in its own right. This video takes us with those two men as they go up that rock face, and using POV video shot from a helmet cam, we get an excellent idea of what it was like for them on this climb.
