I hear that Ama Dablam is very technical, and after seeing pictures I am wondering, how is it climbed?
Yes, Ama Dablam is more technical than most of the other climbs that we do. Above Camp 1, we are on fixed ropes moving over technical terrain for the rest of the climb. We are even “clipped in” while moving around Camp 2! The route we ascend is the Southeast Ridge, which is the standard route on the mountain. We also offer a trip that ascends the highly technical North Ridge of Ama Dablam. Please contact our office for further information on this route.
