Ama Dablam november 2007

Jewel of the Himalaya's, Ama Dablam is truly one the most beautiful mountains to be found on this planet. I climbed more than a dozen 6000 and 7000m peaks and Ama Dablam was the one I enjoyed most. Mid november there were not many people on the mountain and the weather was fantastic. Seven days after arriving at base camp, I summited solo after a very enjoyable rock, snow and ice climb.

"Ama Dablam - The Matterhorn of the Himalayas
An expedition to Ama Dablam is more than just a climb. Located in the Khumbu valley of Nepal, only 12 km from the summit of Mount Everest, Ama Dablam demands the attention of every passer-by. Soaring ridgelines and super-steep faces guard the summit from all but the experienced climber. From the summit you are surrounded by a vista of peaks like no other, five of the highest six peaks in the world are clearly visible."(DCXP)

Proficiat. Het laatste stuk ziet er neig steil uit. Zoals altijd een mooie fotoreportage.
