David Lama - Zurück zu den Wurzeln
Martin Hanslmayr (2017)
For a long time, the Austrian climber David Lama wished to turn to Nepal. The family visit of his ancestors was only one part of the travel. The second reason was – what else could it be? – a mountain. The first ascent of the 6907m high Lunag Ri. This combination of a completely untouched summit and a challenging climbing part is all but commonplace. The Lunag Ri is very difficult on all its sides. Already several expeditions have tried their luck there. Together with the legendary climber Conrad Anker, David sets off to the highest, still unclimbed mountain in Nepal.David Lama - Zurück zu den Wurzeln

Generation L - David Lama
Georg Dehghan (2003)
David Lama - a name every climber will run across sooner or later. Why? The young talented boy with a Nepalese farther and an Austrian mother is the first human being to climb a 8b+/5.14a rated route at the age of 12! The boy's extraordinary talent is opening doors to a new generation of climbers. The film is not a typical hero biography, it instead portrays a normal 12-year old boy who turns into an adult when climbing.- 2003

Lunag Ri
Hans-Peter Stauber (2017)
Already in 2016, David Lama and Conrad Anker had set out to climb Lunag Ri, a stunningly beautiful, unclimbed peak of 6.907meters on the borderline between Nepal and Tibet. As things didn’t go as planned the duo has to retreat just shy of the summit but returns one year later, determined to bring the project to an end. Despite prime conditions and all the knowledge gathered during their last attempt, their endeavor is stopped rapidly with Anker ’s life dangling between life and death, leaving Lama with some tough decisions to make.Hans-Peter Stauber, Martin Hanslmayr, Michael Ginthoer
