Ama Dablam Expedition 2012 Autumn

7129m, NEPAL

Ama Dablam forms a lasting impression on many trekkers in Nepal, as it is perhaps the most stunning mountain along the popular trekking route to Everest Base Camp. This expedition offers a superb, technical climbing experience in a magnificent setting, with numerous cultural and scenic diversions.

Ama Dablam (6,812m) means "Mother and her Necklace" is best seen from Tengboche. It extends to the left to include a west ridge with a peak of 6135m elevations, which resembles Ama Dablam greatly. That Ama Dablam, which does not even attain 7000m in elevation, is famous probably due to its strange, distinctive shape as well as its visibility from any point along Imja Khola.

Ama Dablam is technically harder for climbing and has it all: ice, rock, scrambling, killer views, great approach, and a great base camp in a meadow with a stream. You will have a high level of support, starting with strong, confident leadership; this will maximize your chances of success without undermining the quality of your achievement. If you have the necessary experience and wish to participate fully as a team member of an expertly led expedition to one of the world's most impressive mountains, this could be the trip for you!.
