Mount Ama Dablam, at 6,812 metre, is the most beautiful mountain of the Himalayan range of eastern Nepal. The name of the mountain comes from the Sherpa dialect, and means "Mother's Necklace"; the long ridges on each side are like the arms of a mother (ama) protecting her child, and the hanging glacier can be thought of as a dablam, the traditional double-pendant containing pictures of the gods, worn by Sherpa women.
The world knows the region as that of Mount Everest, but actually Mount Ama Dablam is its dominant mountain, due to its exposure above the valley to the east of Khumbu.
This mountain is the third most popular Himalayan peak for permitted expeditions. Given its mix of steep rock and ice along the climbing route, high above the wide valley of Tengboche, many climbers love to test their technical climbing skill on it. There have been a number of accidents but the most serious one may have been due to global warming, when on 13 November 2006 part of the dablam of Mount Ama Dablam broke loose and killed three climbers from Europe and three Sherpa climbing guides in their sleep in Camp III.
The standard route up this mountain is along its South-west Ridge, requiring three standard camps above Base Camp.
This beautiful mountain was first climbed on 13 March 1961 by Mike Gill (NZ), Barry Bishop (USA), Mike Ward (UK) and Wally Romanes (NZ) via the Southwest Ridge. They were well-acclimated to altitude, having wintered at over 5,800 metres near the base of the peak as part of the Silver Hut Scientific Expedition of 1960-61, led by Sir Edmund Hillary.
