Ama Dablam (Mother's power) is one of the most beautiful mountains in the world, and we recognize that an expedition to 'the Matterhorn of the Himalayas' is more than just a climb: it is a journey into the heart of the Himalayas. Located in the Khumbu valley, only 12km from the summit of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam demands the attention of every passer-by. Soaring ridgelines and super-steep faces guard the summit from all but the experienced climber. On the summit you are surrounded by a vista like no other: five of the highest six peaks in the world are clearly visible. The first ascent (via the Snow Ridge) was not made until the mid-1950 by a strong NZ/USA team. The north ridge fell to a talented French team as late as 1979. In recent years many parties have successfully climbed the mountain, with nearly all ascents following the original, Snow Ridge, route.
More recently our director Duncan Chassell has led five expeditions to the peak giving us a very detailed knowledge of the route and logistics required to be successful. The ascent from Base Camp to Camp 1 is considered one the difficult days of the expedition. We follow old grassy moraine ridges, crossing a saddle and then turning north to climb up rocky ground to the ridge where Camp I is set up. From the camp, at 5,200m, we cross a rocky bowl and climb the ridge, frequently alternating sides as we follow fixed ropes to reach Camp 2 at 6,000m.
Ama Dablam Climbing, the ridge involves severe rock climbing followed by steep gullies with a mix of rock, ice and snow. The route to Camp 3 climbs to an amphitheatre and then goes through a steep snow and ice runnel to reach the snow ridge to the camp at 6,400m. To reach the summit from Camp 3 involves steep climbing on snow and ice to the right of a huge hanging glacier. Ama Dablam Expedition, the best time in September and October.
