Ama Dablam is the most demanding and stunning mountains in the world, and a technical mountain for the mountaineer. Though the peak is just 6812m it needs steep ice, rock and snow mounting. Normally, 3 camps are set within the approach higher than the base camp (4,570m), however, solely 2 camps are wont to pay the night. The traditional normal route for mounting is South-West Ridge.

The climbing t from Base Camp to camp one is considered one the difficult days of the expedition. we have a tendency to follow recent grassy earth ridges passing through a saddle then turning to north mounting up rocky ground and thru boulders to the ridge wherever camp I am ready up. From camp I, we have a tendency to cross a rocky bowl and climb the ridge oftentimes alternating the edges on the mounted lines to the camp II. mounting the ridge involves severe hiking that results in the highest of a yellow tower. The mounting route here from camp II changes considerably with the steep mixed gully’s of rock, ice and snow. The route results in the ramp Associate in Nursingd climbs to an amphitheatre then passes through steep snow and ice run and eventually, on the snow ridge to succeed in camp III. The summit from camp III needs steep get on snow and ice to the proper of a large hanging ice mass.
