Ama Dablam tests every aspect of the Alpinist. You must show a climbing resume to join this expeditions. The route covers 5.8 rock, Alpine Ice lll, and mixed ground. Add altitude to these and you have a very challenging climb. The line is very aesthetic and steep, camp ll has room for only 3 tents. One of the fringe benefits of climbing Ama Dablam is its base camp. A flat grassy area larger than a football field sits below the South Face. Beautiful and comfy. This expedition is the culmination of all your skills. Matt Fioretti has led 3 expeditions to Ama and knows the intricacies of the route.
