Ama Dablam is often referred to as the Matterhorn of the Himalayas and stands as a proud sentinel to Everest further up the valley. Its perfectly shaped summit draws the attention all mountaineers and trekkers who walk beneath its base.
To the uninitiated it would appear to be impossible to climb but to mountaineers its asking to be climbed.
Ama Dablam means in the local language Mother and her Necklace and was first climbed in 1961 as part of a scientific expedition lead by Sir Edmund Hillary to study the effects of living at high altitude for long periods of time.
Researchers lived for six months at the base of Ama Dablam at 5800m and in the process climbed Ama Dablam via its South West Ridge on the 13th March 1961.
It remains the third most popular expedition peak in Nepal.
