Conquer Ama Dablam’s Ultimate Adventure

Following breakfast the following morning, you will go for a full-day sightseeing trip of the Kathmandu Valley. You may see Swyambhunath, a very old temple that is essentially classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the revered Pashupatinath Temple.

Highlights of our guided trip include the largest Buddhist stupa at Boudhanath and the exquisite artwork and old architecture of Kathmandu Durbar Square, which showcase the ancient culture of Nepal.

Patan City’s historic architecture and renowned fine arts will charm you on a visit. You will have time to explore the neighborhood, eat supper, and maybe take a leisurely stroll down the well-known streets when you get back to your hotel. A traditional Nepalese dinner at the Nepali Cultural Restaurant rounds off the day.

The journey from Ama Dabalm Base Camp to Camp 1 is easy, with only a 100-meter portion of mild rock scrambling. The slope is 60º. Along the way, you’ll scramble over enormous boulders and climb an easy fourth-class slab without a fixed rope. You’ll immediately discover that there aren’t many tenting spots on Ama Dablam’s Southwest ridge. As a result, climbers must coordinate their efforts and share resources. There is roughly space for 6-7 two-man tents and 6-7 single tents.

The ascent from camp 1 to camp 2 is the most challenging segment of the trek. You start the day by scrambling and ascending a simple fourth-class horizontal rock ridge over many pinnacles and gendarmes, gaining only 300 meters/1000 feet in elevation. The exposure is enormous, with big drop-offs on either side of the ridge. The climbing is really pleasurable on high-quality granite. At the end of the horizontal ridge, you will climb the Yellow Tower for 6 meters, which is rated French 4th class, British Severe, and North American YDS 5.5. Camp 2 is accessible by narrow ledges above the Yellow Tower. This will feel like a massive mountain high camp with high exposure on all sides. Take care when you go to the washroom.

The climb from Camp 2 to Camp 3 is across mixed, ice, and snow terrain. This segment also has fixed ropes running the entire length. You will have spectacular views of Ama Dablam base camp, Kusum Kanguru, and Kantega. It is now time to cross the famed Mushroom Ridge, which stands at 6150 meters/20,300 ft. Looking up at Camp 3 (6300 meters/20,800 ft) with Mount Dablam in the background. Some strong climbers attempt to reach the summit from Camp 2. However, Wongchhu Peak Promotion would always set up camp three before the peak. With being said, it is crucial to note that this portion of the mountain is highly susceptible to avalanches. As a result, it is critical to reduce or completely avoid spending time at this camp. When customers are not feeling strong enough to push from camp 2, we normally spend 6 hours here before beginning the summit push. The majority of the route from the yellow tower to camp three is sloping at nearly 55º.

Most climbers spend roughly ten hours summiting from camp three and returning to camp two. The summit day on Ama Dablam is remarkable. Climb two easy pitches of solid snow-ice (40º+) to reach the Dablam side. Next to the Dablam, there is a fluted snow/ice field (30-50º) leading to one of the world’s best peaks. Here, you’ll be rewarded with the greatest seat in the house to see the Khumbu, the epicenter of high altitude climbing. Stunning panoramic views of Lhotse, Nuptse, Mount Everest, Cho Oyu, Pumori, Shishapangma, and Makalu become visible.
