Monterosa Treks &  Expedition

Ama Dablam 6,812m. and Pumori 7,145m. Expedition 2008 / 2009

The normal route to climb Ama Dablam is from its South- West ridge. Most of the mountaineering beginners start their climbing through this Mt. 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 technical & difficult for climbing. The mountaineers have to cross-difficult ice rocks and steep snow climbing on their route. Mountaineers usually have to pitch 3 high camps while climbing Ama Dablam 6812m.

The climbers have to pass the toughest and the difficult passing through the saddle ridges and then should turn to the north, climbing up through the rocky ground and through the boulder from base to camp 1.

We are in Camp one now. From Camp I - one has to cross the rocky bowl and should climb the ridge through fixed lines to Camp 2.

The climbing route from Camp 2 is mostly with the steep mixed alleyways of rock, ice and snow. The route leads to the slope following snow ground and then passes through steep snow and ice tunnel then finally along the snow ridge go to Camp 3. From camp 3 to the summit is steep climb on snow and ice to the right of a huge hanging glacier.

From the Top of Mt. Ama Dablam very charming sceneries of Mt. Everest, Lhotse, Island peak, Makalu, Khumbu Himal and rest of the snowcapped surrounded mountains can be envisioned.
