OVERVIEW

28 Days for Ama-Dablam Climbing, Why and How?

Ama Dablam is a mountain in the Himalayas that gorgeously stand in the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal. The Summit of this mountain is 6,812 meters (22,349 ft), and the lower western summit is 6,170 meters (20,243 ft). Ama Dablam assembles “Mother’s strip”; the long edges on each side like the arms of a mother (ama) securing her childhood, and the hanging beneath zero mass ideas of as the Dablam, the standard twofold pendant containing photos of the splendid animals, worn by Sherpa women. For a couple of days, Ama Dablam rules the eastern sky for anybody trekking to Mount Everest base camp.

The most well-known course by a long shot is the Southwest Ridge. Climbers regularly set up three camps along the edge with camp 3 just beneath and to one side of the hanging ice sheet, the Dablam. Any ice that calves off the ice sheet ordinarily goes left, far from the camp. Notwithstanding, a 2006 torrential slide demonstrated this isn’t generally the case. A climbing grant and a contact officer are required while endeavoring Ama Dablam. Similarly, as with Mt. Everest, the best climbing months are April– May (before the storm) and September– October till mid-November.

Ama Dablam is the third most famous Himalayan top and trending climbing peak among climbers. The Southwest Ridge is the most climbing route. From the base camp of this mountain, we set up three camps higher camp although some of the alpinists start the summit push from Camp two too. You need enough ice-climbing knowledge to climb this mountain as you need to cross the ice slab from camp three to the summit. You need enough acclimatization days to be familiar with high altitude. Before attempting to climb this mountain, Everest Base camp trekking or either Lobuje or Island peak climbing is suggested. Trekking to Everest Base camp is an extremely pleasant approach to pay reverence to Everest, the King of the Himalayas and to encounter the exemplary Everest seen from Kallapather. Of course, the climbing sherpa of Snowpal support making your dream successful, Still climbers should be skillful and need a strong base rock and ice climbing experience.

Likewise, with Mt. Everest, the best climbing months are April-May in the spring season and September-October-November in the autumn season.

The standard climbing course is by means of the Southwest edge with average plans of 3 high camps: Camp 1 (5600m), Camp 2 (5900m), and Camp 3 (6200m) with Base Camp at 4500m. Camp 3 is situated on the shoulder of the edge just beneath and to one side of the last soak snow move to the summit. Most climbers summit from camp 2 and don’t set up camp 3.

Why Southwest ridge is the best among normal climbers: Among the several climbing routes of Mt. Ama Dablam, the southwest ridge route is considered the easiest and standard climbing route as well as safe and less dangerous of avalanches too.  On Ama Dablam, it is required enough climbing knowledge with some technical rock and ice climbing experience. It is different from the other Himalayas with superb interesting climbing.

Do not need to cross the glacier to climb Ama Dablam.

The Base Camp 4650m is very wide like a football ground and crosses up just slopes of rocks to reach the southwest ridge where the advanced basecamp 5150m will be set up. From Advanced Basecamp to Camp first 5400m we cross a large ridge and place our camp on a steep slope although the climbing is not very technical. Camp two 5750m has limited tent space which may already take. It is a small campsite on the side of the cliff. Our Sherpas will set it up in advance. Camp three is optional. Most climbers attempt from camp two to one of the finest summits of the world having a spectacular magnificent panoramic view of Mt Everest, Mt Lhotse, and Mt. Nuptse along with dozen of snowcapped mountains of eastern Nepal and Khumbu valley.
