Description
Ama Dablam is an iconic 6,812-metre peak in the Khumbu region of Nepal. Its Sherpa name means 'mother's necklace', and its pyramidal shape earns it the nickname 'Matterhorn of the Himalayas'. A non-volcanic orogenic peak first climbed in 1961, it is among the most popular technical climbing objectives in the Himalayas.

Routes
Punggungan Barat Daya (Southwest Ridge) — rute normal
Alpine teknis (umumnya dinilai TD / très difficile); batu, es, dan medan campuran curam pada tali tetap, dengan kemiringan puncak ±45–65°The Southwest Ridge is Ama Dablam's standard route, first climbed in 1961 and used by virtually all expeditions since. From Base Camp (~4,600 m) climbers move through Camp 1 (~5,700 m), Camp 2 (~6,000 m) atop the granite Yellow Tower, and Camp 3 (~6,300 m) before the summit pyramid. Key technical features are the Yellow Tower, the exposed Mushroom Ridge, and steep snow/ice on summit day, making it a serious but attainable objective for experienced alpine climbers.
SourceClimbing Experiences
Ama Dablam (6,812 m) in the Khumbu Himal is often called the 'Matterhorn of the Himalayas' for its striking, technical rock-and-ice summit pyramid. Though lower than the eight-thousanders, its normal Southwest Ridge route demands rock, ice, and mixed skills on fixed ropes.
