Huge congratulations to David Lama on his first ascent of the 22,660ft Lunag Ri located in his father’s homeland of Nepal.  The climb was 3 years in the making and was met with much adversity along the way. Took a while for them to put together this edit but its proper and was worth the wait:

“Join David Lama from advanced basecamp to summit on his successful solo push for the first ascent of Lunag Ri, a previously unclimbed peak of 6.907meters on the borderline between Nepal and Tibet. On 23 October 2018 the Austrian with Nepali heritage set out carrying a POV camera and was followed by a drone navigated from advanced BC.”
