Mt. Tawoche (6,501m.) & Mt. Ama Dablam (6,812m.) Expedition

Autumn/Spring
Entry/Exit: Lukla (Everest Region)
Fixed Departure: Sept. 25, 2008 – April 15, 2009

Mt. Tawoche peak and Ama Dablam require all climbers need to have good skills on rock and ice climbing and technically competent. On most parts of the routes there will be fixed rope, however, the climbers should posses skills of climbing through steep rock and hard compact ice. We follow the standard South West ridge route (normal route) to the top, as it is consider the safe route, free from the objective danger such as avalanche and so on. The route we follow begins at Lukla (2850m) and the initial days of the trek pass through the legendary Sherpa country up the spectacular high valley of the Khumbu valley. Most of the route on the actual climbing is fixed with no icefall or glacier to negotiate, and most of it is concentrated on the crest of a ridge. The climb is relatively safe though exposed and sheep and not really a mountain for debutantes. We have designed the itineraries to climb Tawoche Peak 6,501m. before go to Ama Dablam as a combining expedition. It is easier for those climbers who like to get summit of Ama Dablam after Tawoche.
