The combination of these two majestic mountains in the Himalayan range will make for a significant experience and a strong sense of accomplishment.

Ama Dablam is one of the most beautiful mountains in the world, and offers an excellent and challenging climb. The hike towards Everest base camp allows us to see and enjoy the view of the highest and most astonishing peaks in the world.

This climb is ideal for mountaineers with a solid climbing and mountaineering background on high altitude expeditions. This particular route requires to climb comfortably WI 3 and 4 on ice, and to be solid in climbing with hiking shoes/mountaineering boots on class 4th and some moderated class 5th terrains on rock. Most of the route on Ama Dablam consists of fixed lines, so you'll also need a high level of competence ascending and descending on fixed ropes and passing anchors. I highly recommend practicing multi pitch climbs on ice and rock to gain experience and practice using all the mechanical devises for climbing and descending before the expedition.
