Ama Dablam - 6856m. |
Country: Nepal |
Description |
| 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
climb up a spectacular ridge.
The route we follow begins at Lukla (2850m) and the initial
days of the trek pass through the legendary Sherpa country
up the spectacular high valley of the Khumbu. Much of
he route on the actual climbing is fixed with no icefall
or glacier to negotiate, and most of it is concentrated
on the crest of a ridge. The climb is relatively safe
though exposed and sheep and not really a mountain for
debutantes.
