As if climbing Cerro Torre wasn't hard enough, David Lama did it with a camera in his hands – and we're not talking about your average point ’n’ shoot.
The difficult pitches on Cerro Torre meant the film crews wouldn't be able to follow them up, leaving Lama and Peter Ortner, his climbing partner, to handle some of the camera work on their own.
For Lama, it's to some degree a natural evolution of his climbing career – he's been surrounded by cameras since his early days of competition.
Watch the video above to see how Lama keeps it all together during one of the most noteworthy climbs of his career. Then, tune in to Red Bull TV on March 19 for the full length feature film.
