High Spirits
Bernhard Stern (2016)
David Lama and Conrad Anker became the first expedition ever to reach the headwall of Lunag Ri, a 6907 meters high mountain located at the border of Nepal and Tibet. The Austrian-American rope team gave everything to be the very first to reach the untouched summit. But in the end, due to freezing cold temperatures and strong wind the only reasonable option was to retreat. Lama said: '...we still have our fingers. They will surely be useful on our next attempt, which we have set our sights on for next year.'Bernhard Stern, Florian Klingler
