One of the world’s most beautiful mountains. The stunning pyramid of Ama Dablam is regarded as one of the world’s most beautiful and sought-after peaks, alongside the Matterhorn and Khan Tengri. The experienced mountaineer will find the South East Ridge, at its easiest, a real challenge. It offers good steep mixed climbing in the most stunning and exposed situations. Fixed lines will be used to ease our ascent for most of its length. The ascent to Camp One at 5800m is quite straight forward from which point it gradually steepens as we move onto the rocky south-west ridge. The final approach to the summit is on snow slopes up to 45 degrees

One of the world’s most beautiful mountains.
