The 28-year-old Austrian climber David Lama is one of three professional mountain climbers caught in an avalanche in Canada's Banff National Park, according to park officials and The North Face, the company that sponsors the men. All three are presumed dead.Lama was 5 when famed climber and Himalayan veteran Peter Habeler first saw him climb. He immediately called Lama's parents to tell them their boy had"an extraordinary feeling for rocks.
Hiking courses and alpine clubs didn't interest him, his website says:"He looked for the vertical from the beginning."After reaching the summit of the competitive climbing world in 2011, Lama pivoted to free climbing.In 2013, he appeared in the documentary film"Cerro Torre: A Snowball's Chance in Hell," which depicted his bid with climbing partner Peter Ortner the previous year to free-climb the southeast face of Cerro Torre, on the border between Argentina and Chile.
