David Lama is best known for being able to scale the world’s toughest alpine climbing routes, while Dani Arnold is famous for his speed. The two young alpinists recently teamed up for an expedition to Alaska and were able to realize a spectacular first ascent right away.
With their new route “Bird of Prey” Lama and Arnold managed to pull off the first line through the central headwall of the 1500-metre (4500 ft.) east face of Moose’s Tooth.
The duo finished the demanding climb with sections up to 6a, M7+, 90°, A2 in remarkable speed, making it back to base camp within 48 hours.
