Ama Dablam – Pre Monsoon 2011
Vertical resources invites you to join them on a climb of the South-West ridge of Ama Dablam (6856m) in the pre-monsoon of 2011.
This trip is designed to meet the desires of the competent and ambitious mountaineer. Ama Dablam, meaning 'Mothers necklace', is quite literally a jewel of Himalayan climbing and is coveted for its aesthetic shape.
There are numerous rock and ice steps along the narrow SW ridge and these are negotiated by overcoming some breath-taking exposure. Exposure is exchanged for awe-inspiring views once the summit is reached, where a panorama of Everest, Lhotse and Nuptse unfolds.
We will acclimatize with a steady introduction to the routine of Himalayan climbing and the steps necessary to climb at altitude. The acclimatization program will include Dingboche Ri, Crossing the Cho La, Chukung Ri and climbing Island Peak.
We are also offering a trekking/ climb style trip that includes Chukung Ri, Island Peak and then continuing to climb Lobuje East. This trip is ideal for those with reasonable fitness and a curiosity for the Himalaya, without the technical element.
