How Difficult Is It To Climb Ama Dablam ?
Mountain expeditions are always challenging; therefore, you cannot underestimate Ama Dablam. Its south ridge area has boulders, slabs, cairns, and gullies to be crossed till you reach Camp I. After spending the night over there, you head to the east ridge following a narrow trekking trail. We continue this trail till we reach the western ridge and Camp II. The hardest part of the climb you will experience in this part because the climbing trail is not only narrow but also the camping area is too small. What lies ahead from there is a rocky structure? And you walk on this structure to reach Camp III. Like in other expeditions, there are also crevasses on Ama Dablam.
Best Season for Ama Dablam Expedition
September and October are the best months for the expedition. There is plenty of sunshine. And you will be able to enjoy your trek as well as climb. And who can forget the clear blue sky? This also means there is no rainfall. Snowfall is a far-off thing. When there is no snow, the expedition becomes easy. And the best is during this month, there is no avalanche and landslide in Nepal. What poses a challenge to trekkers and climbers in June, July, December, January, and February from the point of view of weather that you know in your mind has seemed to vanish from the Everest region forever. This is the reason why our guides love to climb Ama Dablam in October and December.
