Ama Dablam is a mountain in the
Himalaya range of eastern Nepal. The main peak is 6,856
meters the lower western peak is 5,563 meters (18,251
ft). Ama Dablam means "Mother and Pearl Necklace" (the
perennial hanging glacier is thought of as the pearl)
and is a stunningly beautiful mountain that many people
who visit the area will consider the best in the region.
For several days, Ama Dablam will dominate the eastern
sky for anyone trekking to Mount Everest.
Mt. Ama Dablam is mostly a rock climb up fixed lines
that we will all take part in putting in if the timing
is right. Some rock climbing ability really helps here.
You will need crampons for some of the snow/ice (the
upper mountain) and mixed stretches, so experience with
the use of these helps a lot. Of course you will need to
be in an above average shape and a positive mental
attitude is as important as good physical condition.

In addition to the above list of suggested
trekking equipment, you should take along with
various items of mountaineering tools. For any
trip which has crossed by steep, snow-covered
ground, or which has included section of glacier
travel, it might be necessary for the group
roping up as a safety precaution. To facilitate
this process of roping up, you will need to
maintain a minimum requirement, a climbing
harness, a climbing sling and two locking
carabineers. Plastic mountaineering boots, a
mountaineering ice axe and a pair of crampons
with front points are the other items of
equipment, which are required for our trekking
peak trips. (Please note: Our recommendation
that you take no more than 33 pounds of trekking
equipment DOES NOT include your plastic boots,
ice axe, crampons or harness/carabineers. During
the trek, climbing hardware will be carried
separately from your personal trek bag in-group
bags until needed).
An explanation of the equipment that you will
need
Day packs for climbing trips
3000-4000 cubic inches. For climbing trips, you
will be required to carry more warm clothing
during the climbs and also your personal
climbing gear. For this reason, you will need a
slightly bigger daypack than for a trekking-only
trip. If you have any questions about gear,
please do not hesitate to call our office for
advice.

trekking and climbing equipment you may never
use again, we offer a wide range of equipment
