AMADABLAM 

TECHNICAL CLIMBING ON THE WORLDWIDE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEAK

Ama Dablam is one of the most spec­tac­u­lar moun­tains in the world and a true alpinist’s dream. This unfor­get­table climb in the Khum­bu region of Nepal involves a cul­tur­al trek into base camp, tech­ni­cal rock, snow and ice climb­ing and stun­ning panoram­ic sum­mit views of Ever­est, Lhotse, and Makalu. We climb Lobuche Peak to accli­ma­tize before going to Ama Dablam. We place two to three camps along the beau­ti­ful South­west Ridge where we have dra­mat­ic and exposed views of the Himalayas.

DIFFICULTY

Advanced Intermediate : Climbers should be comfortable climbing on exposed ridges, 45 to 60-degree snow/ice slopes and/or 5.6+ rock and have a well-rounded past history of climbing experience. Depending on the objective, climbers may need only snow/ice skills or only rock skills; and vice-versa. Some climbs may require both skill sets.

The uphill trek along the riv­er allows for breath­tak­ing pho­tos of Ama Dablam that tow­ers omi­nous­ly above us, and the South­west Ridge comes into clear view! Just after the vil­lage of Pang­bouche we descend to the Dudh Kosi and cross a small bridge and then fol­low the trail as it climbs up to Ama Dablam Base Camp (15,000 feet). Our Sher­pas, porters and cooks will estab­lish base camp and we will be greet­ed with warm smiles, hot tea and a deli­cious lunch. The rest of the after­noon can be spent relax­ing in the sun watch­ing climbers high on the moun­tain as they descend the upper snow face of the Dablam Glacier.
