Ama Dablam Expedition Overview

Ama Dablam (22,349′ | 6,812m) is arguably the most aesthetic mountain in the Himalaya. The SW ridge provides exhilarating rock, snow, and ice climbing to its summit via the Dablam glacier. An alpine style climb of nearby Kyajo Ri ensures optimal acclimatization and preparation for Ama Dablam.

Our Ama Dablam expedition provides avid climbers with experience on steep mixed terrain the opportunity to summit two Himalayan peaks in a more purist alpine style. A single push summit strategy is facilitated by a previous acclimatization trek over Renjo La pass, foregoing the need for multiple acclimatization rotations and the help of extensive sherpa support. Rock steps of up to 5.8 in difficulty, and steep snow and ice pitches make this a memorable Himalayan climbing experience.

A fall trek through the Khumbu Valley provides a tranquil alternative to the hustle and bustle of the busy spring season in the Everest region. The cool, crisp air and changing colors of the forested hillsides delight the senses during a time of year when trekkers can typically enjoy long stretches of clear days. We take a less travelled route, hiking up and over Renjo La Pass to drop down into the serene alpine village of Gokyo. After relaxing for an evening along the shores of Dudh Pokhari Lake, where yaks and wetland birds wander about, we venture further up valley exploring the series of glacial lakes that lead us to the base of Cho Oyu’s South Face. On our return from Cho Oyu Base Camp, we descend through the Gokyo Valley, giving us the chance to experience a different collection of Sherpa-run lodges.

Kyajo Ri stands at 20,295′, above the Gokyo Valley. The climbing consists of a variety of alpine ice and rock that leads to an airy summit. Climbing this peak in an alpine style assures optimal preparation for Ama Dablam.
