Climb Ama Dablam 2012
4 week climbing itinerary

The 10th Ama Dablam Expedition Professionally Led
& Organised by 2 Times Everest Summiteer Tim Mosedale.

Tim is only the 10th Brit to have summited Everest from both sides.
In 2011 Tim summited Everest with 4 clients so you can be assured that you are in very capable hands.

People on the summit of Ama Dablam every year since starting in 2003

In 2009 7 clients and 1 Climbing Sherpa reached the summit
(one of whom then flew off and made it back down to Base Camp in under 10 minutes
which was only the second flight, and first British one, from the summit!) & in
2010 we put 9 members and 4 Climbing Sherpas on the summit of Ama Dablam.

Latest update - 12 climbers and 5 Climbing Sherpas summited Ama Dablam in 2011.

We have excellent ratios which means excellent success rates. In 2012 it could be you!

Please check out the feedback from previous expedition members.


Ama Dablam is, without a doubt, one of the most stunning mountains in the world. The maps report Ama Dablam as being anything from 6812m to 6856m - but one thing for sure is that it is over 22,000 feet.

It commands the Everest region and is by far and away the most impressive peak along the Khumbu trail. People who trek in the region will always come away with a few mountain names added to their vocabulary, and Ama Dablam will be one of them.

This trip not only takes in the sights and sounds of Kathmandu, but also the historic trading post of Namche Bazaar and the world famous monastery at Tengboche. What better way to acclimatise and get ourselves ready for the mountain of a lifetime?
