Ama Dablam 6856m - 30 days
Ama Dablam is a mountain in the Himalaya range of eastern Nepal. The lower western peak of Ama Dablam is 5,563 metres (18,251 feet). Ama Dablam means "Mother and her Necklace" 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.

Ama Dablam was first climbed in 1961 by Mike Gill, Barry Bishop, Mike Ward and Wally Romanes.

The normal climbing route is via the southwest ridge (right skyline in the photo). Climbers will typically setup three camps along the ridge with camp 3 just below and to the right of the hanging glacier (Dablam). Any ice that calves off the glacier goes left, away from the camp. A climbing permit and a liaison officer are required when attempting Ama Dablam. As with Mt. Everest, the best climbing months are April-May (before the monsoon) and September-October.
