Ama Dablam is considered by some to be the prettiest mountain in the world. High on her Southwest face hangs a glacier resembling a 'Dablam' - the sacred ornament box worn by ladies in the Sherpa community. It was this spectacular feature that got her the name "Ama Dablam". She lies alongside Everest in the heart of the Khumbu valley offering a superb close up view of Mt Lhotse, Mt. Makalu, Mt. Cho Oyu and Mt. Everest. If you have previous climbing experience and wish to participate as a team member of an expertly led expedition to one of the world's most impressive mountains then the climbing expedition to Ama Dablam is for you! Although it's height is "only" 6812m, Ama Dablam is quite demanding technically: the expedition requires steep ice, rock and snow climbing. Over and above the base camp (4,570m) there are three more camps. However, only two of these are used to spend the night. The normal route for climbing is South-West Ridge. The ascent from Base Camp to the next camp will be one of the most difficult days of the expedition.
