Everest South Col Expedition
- 65 days / 64 nights
Ama dablam and Pumori Expedition - 50 days
Height: 23,494 feet (7,161 meters)
Location: Khumbu, Nepal, Asia
Lat/Lon: 28.0147°N, 86.8281°E
Located in Nepal Khumbu region this pyramid shaped 23,495 ft.peak dominates the skyline behind Kala Pataar (19,000 ft). Anyone who has made the trip to Everest either as a climber or trekker will remember Pumori’s distinctive shape. Named by George Leigh Mallory, "Pumori" apparently means "Unmarried Daughter" in the Sherpa language. Used as a training peak for past Everest teams this peak now is offered as a guided climb by many different companies. There may be as many as 20 expeditions per climbing season.
When to climb and guiding services
September to November and March to May are the most often used windows. The winter months add the eliment of cold and the monsoon the dangers of snow buildup.
Ama Dablam Expedition
Height: 22,467 feet (6,848 meters)
Location: Khumbu Himal, Nepal, Asia
Lat/Lon: 27.8617°N, 86.8639°E
Ama Dablam is known as one of the most impressive mountains in the world, not for it's altitude, but for it's beauty, aesthetics and the pure exposure encountered high on it's flanks. Most parties attempt the SW ridge, climbing expedition style, fixing ropes, ferrying loads, and acclimatizing slowly. The mountain has gained in popularity over the past 8 years. It's common to encounter high altitude Everest veterans having problems with the technical difficulties encountered on the crux pitches of this climb.
The climb feels like a 5.8 - 5.9 depending on conditions but it's really hard to say because I have always worn plastic boots, and all the climbing is above 6000M. I would have to recommend allowing 5 weeks for this expedition, taking into consideration bad weather, sickness, and multiple summit attempts.
Information about how the peak gets its name
Mother and her Necklace , Mother’s Charm Box , Mother's Jewel Box
"Ama" means mother, grandmother or even world. "Dablam" means charm box, and is a special pendant worn by elder Sherpa women that holds precious items. The mountain has a hanging glacier that resembles a dablam and the two extending ridges are outstreched like a maternal embrace."

Mountaineering royalty fee
Realising mountaineering as the back-bone of Nepal's tourism industry, the Government of Nepal has made following decisions in a bid to make mountaineering royalty fee competitive amongst the neighbouring countries, promote mountains lying in remote and less privileged areas, and create environment to transform the seasonal mountaineering business operational round the year and materialize the concept of 'Nepal for all Seasons':
- Provide discount of 50% in Winter and Summer Season and 75% in Autumn Season keeping intact the Royalty Fee in Spring Season.
- Increase the number of climbing member in an expedition from 12 to 15.
- Provide 100% discount on Royalty Fee for mountains located in Mid and Far Western Development Regions for 5 years.
- Implement Incremental Royalty Break-down System (IRDS), a system under which permit fee increases with the increase in number of climbing members, on all mountains instead of lump sum per expedition having climbing members seven or less than that.
