Ama Dablam has long been considered 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 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 the 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 steep and not really a mountain
for debutantes. |
