Climbing Ama Dablam

I had the chance to climb Ama Dablam in the fall of 2021 with @Seven Summit Treks
Located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, the mountain famously looms over the Everest Base Camp Trek. Its name translates to "mother's necklace," with the the two ridges of the mountain representing the arms of a mother (ama), and the necklace (dablam), being the serac that hangs on its face. Ama is what I call my own mother back home.
We actually spent quite a few weeks at Basecamp, and left to climb Island Peak half way through, so the days are a bit rounded up :)
Anyway, thanks to ‪@JacksonGroves‬ for helping document the journey, and for letting me borrow his drone footage after mine crashed - you can see a screen-recorded bit of my last flight over camp 2 at the end of the video.
And to @Seven Summit Treks for sending us to cover the climb. Thanks Furtengi Sherpa for being an awesome guide!
And finally thanks to Everest Outfit for kitting me out with the summit suit!

Outstanding filming. You seem very natural at altitude. I have climbed Island Peak a few years back and I was gasping for air. You make it seem so easy. I can’t wait to see you bag some 8000m peaks. I have been dreaming about going back to bag this peak and your video may have just inspired me to go back in 2023. Thank you.

The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal; because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

How did you find the difficulty of Ama dablam? Ive just climbed island peak and im already planning my next climb, it would be a dream to climb ama dablam. Would you say its too big of a jump in technical difficulty to go from island peak to ama dablam, or is it doable?

[@Jana-zy3mi]

What a beautiful video. Ama Dablam is one beautiful mountain; it looks as if you did a lot of rock climbing. Well done; congratulations.

Amazing! When I went to Nepal this was my favorite mountain. I only looked at it from a distance… I could only imagine what is was like to summit.
