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!.
