Berg Adventures International 2006 Ama Dablam Expedition

Ama Dablam demands the attention of all those who pass by.  Its graceful lines of rock, ice, and steep fluted snow have been a draw for mountaineers for years.  Four of the six highest mountains in the world ring this enchanted valley, but it is Ama Dablam that defines the core of an alpinist’s dreams:  Join us as we attempt to climb the classic route on the Southwest Ridge of Ama Dablam this fall.
