David Lama – Mountaineer, Climber, Freespirit I was born in 1990. My mom is an Innsbruck native and my dad a mountain guide from Nepal. Success, to me, doesn’t primarily mean reaching the summit, but rather living up to my own expectations. That doesn’t only depend on which projects I do or do not realize, but rather whether I do so in a style in which I can express myself. Adhering to that idea is my priority, and I try to follow that in every day life as well. What matters to me is that I can stand behind my decisions and actions. Obviously, a series of misfortunes can lead to a fatal end on any of my adventures. There is no point in denying that fact. It is my willingness to commit that demonstrates the total conviction of my actions, and that gives great personal value to my alpinism. Every mountaineer wants to leave something behind, and at the same time, he has the responsibility to respect what he inherits. First ascents are an eternal constant of alpinism.
