11 October 2008

Ama Dablam Inforamtion:

The normal route to climb mount Ama Dablam is from its South- West ridge. Most of the mountaineering beginners start their climbing through this Mount. Ama Dablam 6812m. Ama Dablam is a small snowcapped peak of 6812m lying in the Everest region. This South - West ridge is the normal and most popular route to ascend the Mt. Ama Dablam

This mountain is considered to be the most technical & difficult to climb. The mountaineers have to cross-difficult ice rocks and steep snow climbing one their climbing route.

Mountaineers usually have to pitch 3 high camps on the mountain of mount Ama Dablam 6812m.

To reach the first camp from base camp, the climbers have to pass the toughest and the difficult passing through the difficult saddle ridges; and then should turn to the north climbing up through the rocky ground and through the boulder.

We are in Camp one now. From Camp I - one has to cross the rocky bowl and should climb the ridge via to the fixed lines to Camp II . From Camp II after crossing over severe rocks and ridge which lead you to a camp 2.

The climbing route from Camp II is mostly with the steep mixed alleyways of rock, ice and snow. The route leads to the slope climb to snow ground and then passes through steep snow and ice tunnel then finally along the snow ridge go to Camp III,

From here to the summit, it is steep climb on snow and ice to the right of a huge hanging glacier. From the Top of mout Ama Dablam very charming sceneries of Mount Everest, Lhotse, Island peak, Makalu , Khumbu Himalayan and rest of the snowcapped surrounded mountains can be envisioned.

Information for Island peak:

Most of the summits lie in the heart in Sherpa World. We follow the classic Everest approach through the Solu Khumbu. Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar is veering off the trail to Everest base came. We will enter the magnificent Gokyo valleys, a land of high altitude lakes and icy glaciers. After crossing Chhukuma La at 6183m. (except going to Gokyo valley and Chhukuma La Pass you should proceed towards Everest base camp as well) we go towards the Khumbu glacier en route to Everest base camp 17,575ft and you can enjoy spectacular panorama from Kala Patthar at 18,192ft (5,545m.). Your route descends to Dignboche and goes to Chhukung valley and Island (Imja Tse) Base Camp.

We attempt the summit 20,305ft after one night at the high camp perched on the South West Ridge. Magnificent vistas of the Khumbu can be seen. On the way; while descending to base came, you can take the picture of Chhukung valleys' landscape Island Peak is very easy and common; so most of the visitor from the world are willing to go there.

From there you can see the vistas of Himalayas of Mt. Everest, Mt. Makalu , Mt. Lhotse (over 8,000m) and many other mountains. The journey comes to an end at Lukla airstrip Then you fly back to Kathmandu .
