• Amadablam Expedition ( 6812m. )
Amadablam, one of the most beautiful
mountains in the world, is popular for
the most beautiful alpine rock climb of
its kind and is considered one of the
Himalayas most spectacular ascents.
Although the height is only 6812m it
requires steep ice, rock and snow
climbing. The ascent on Amadablam not
only offers the panoramic view of four
of the world's highest peaks: Cho Oyu,
Lhotse, Everest and Makalu but also
justifies the high level of climbing
artisty. Normally, three camps are set
in the approach above the base camp
(4,570m), however, only two camps are
used to spend the night. The normal
route for climbing is South-West Ridge.
From the base camp we move up through
old grassy moraine ridges passing
through a saddle and then turning to
north climbing up rocky ground and
through boulders to the ridge where camp
I is set up at an altitude of 19,070
feet. From camp I, we cross a rocky bowl
and climb the ridge frequently
alternating the sides along the fixed
lines to the camp II. Climbing the ridge
involves severe rock climbing which
leads to the top of a yellow tower. The
climbing route here from camp II changes
significantly with the steep mixed
gully's of rock, ice and snow. The route
leads to the ramp and climbs to an
amphitheatre and then passes through
steep snow and ice runnel and finally,
along the snow ridge to reach camp III
at 20,750 feet . The summit from camp
III requires steep climb on snow and ice
to the right of a huge hanging glacier.
The final pitches of the route are on
the perfect 50 degree snow and ice face
above Camp III.
Experience Required: The Amadablam
expedition is one of the most
technically difficult expeditions. The
climbers need to have good skills on
rock and ice climbing and technically
competent. On most parts of the routes
there will be fixed rope, however, the
climbers should posses skills to climb
through steep rock and hard water ice.
