Trying to think how this man got through this without shedding a tear, then you realize he's been through this sooo many times!
Then you realize further he's the type to climb into bed with his dead best friends wife. Guys a goof.
David was a wonderful person, and a great inspiration. Rest in peace
Amazing. A legend honouring another legend taken too soon. So sad 😢
RIP David Lama, I still watch your videos again and again here on UA-cam. You continue to inspire everyone in the climbing community.
Thank you Conrad. You are such an amazing and inspiring person.
Davids athletic and inspirational achievements were only rivaled by his incredible humanity and kindness, Thank you David.
Keep smiling David, where ever your are now!
Conrad is such a legend of a man. Love that guy.
Rest in Piece David!
Rest easy David. Thank you for sharing Conrad's wonderful memorial.
Rip David, Jess and Hansjörg. This made me cry because I saw the documentary where you didn’t know you were having a heart attack and you were being positive trying to get better because you wanted to continue. I can’t believe David is gone now. Too soon.
Very nice eulogy given by Conrad for a wonderful person who passed WAY before his time.
The image I best remember of David was him atop Lunag Ri. He looked too young for a first ascent, let alone it being solo.
My favourite my idol David Lama. Rest in peace❤️ You have taught me not to give up.
Thank you for this moving and precious moment ..David is now a part of our hearts ...
Claudia and Rinzi, you have to be proud of your son that inspire still lot of people. I look often at his videos, from the incredible Cerro Torre ascent, to Lunag Ri and many others. His smile is so nice and I can feel the goodness of his heart. Be strong, David had a wonderful life and this is because of you.
Inspiring others for what? to risk their lives ?
A touching and fitting memorial to an inspirational climber.
David’s pic of him as a young boy reminds me so much of my son whom I love more than life itself. I cannot imagine the pain of his parents. My heart just breaks for Jess and Hans parents as well.
I would like to leave these words for the family and friends of David,
"I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity.
[There is absolute and unbroken continuity.]
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner."
-- Canon Henry Scott Holland of St. Paul's Cathedral
Beautiful “remembering” we are always connected. Thank you for sharing this sweetness 😊
You can feel that there was a special connection between them two
Te recordaremos siempre David Lama.
Its insane how many friends conrad has seen go.
R.I.P
Great Speech Conrad
RIP a legend and inspiration for so many
Wonderful speech.
Bewegende Rede, thx Conrad
RIP DAVID JESS AND HANS
RIP David!
RIP DL.
Давид, ты красавчик. Земля тебе пухом. Ты мой кумир.
Love r.s.p.
I named my two baby pigeons after David Lama. One is David, the other Lama. 🙂
David was a badass
His german sounds pretty good...seems bit wierd, that he spoke english in front of austrian audience
Most Austrians understand English pretty well.
its the branding. He speaks german perfectly fine. Since he is "in character" at this event for the "death" of David Lama. he appears as Conrad Anker who is a US identity, therefore he speaks american english. Had he appeared as an austrian or italian climber he'd have spoken austrian german or italian. If you don't understand what I just wrote, you're probably not supposed to.
Does anyone know if he was buried or cremated?
Is this Jürgen Klopps ' older brother ?
Why a memorial ?
'Let's rock this' ….. only a yank could start with that.
3Vimages Conrad has to speak at another close friends funeral, can you imagine the pain and difficulty delivering any speech under the circumstance? Maybe you could keep that in mind before being judge mental about one line he said.
goatstop so you’re saying calling him a “yank” for saying something isn’t judgmental?? Clearly it is a judgmental statement
@@adriangietzmannsanders3172 Yanks deserve to be mocked, since they love to tell the rest of the world how to behave.
I like his start & use of the phrase.
I don't see it as flippant & ill-chosen.
For what it matters, I am English.
Conrad's a psychopath.
So avoidable.
The snow pack is always unstable in the Rockies.
Chinooks winds, rain, snow, cold temps and hot temps all in the same hour make the mountains snow packs treacherous
Skiing in the Banff National Park since the 80's has shown me the snow pack is unstable from November to June.
The ultimate risk can come with the price of only ones life...
