The time in Nepal was super exciting. To climb a mountain as the Ama Dablam 6812m is a tour, which can not be compared with a Alpentour. It's such a different set of rules.

It has a long, multi-day march to the base camp 4600m, which is also the same used for Akkli.

Afterwards we had a window of 12 days for the ascent.

To Akkli we went up to Camp 1 at 5800m and slept there. From BC least 1200m vertical drop, far too much at once, a little Skull hum. The next day we climbed on to Camp 2 at 6100m. This is one of the most airy tent sites I have ever seen. Elevenses break and abseiling / descent to BC.

Three days break and Summit preparations were program. Bouldering, climbing, Jassen, UNO play etc ... oh and viiieeel food. Celebrity chef Janak has us very spoiled!

Start: Advance to C1. Unfortunately, my guest had to deal with a stubborn cold. His night at 5800 meters was not good. Decision in the morning - descent to BC. However, He wanted Tenji and I try it in any case. Too bad for him, but surely a wise decision!

Next to 6100m C2: The backpacks are heavy as lead ... gasp! Nesting in the tent. Drink plenty of liquids the great view and enjoy the tranquility, just a great place on the eagle's nest. Not a soul except me and Tenji else up there.

Summit program: Start at 01.00 PM. Our plan, up to the summit and then down into the BC back to my guest. And again Prachtstag how daily. But more wind and much colder. We are fast on the road, both top fit. Eventually we meet the Sherpa Einrichterteam which has stayed at 6500m. Here, the waiting begins. Overtaking is not allowed according to Sherpa hierarchy ...

We reach the summit as the first "commercial" (small) group this year. Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu ... all they are very close, close enough to touch. Tenji is a real rocket, soon also a mountain guide and a great guy - Thanks !!!

Abseiling in high speed brings us quickly to C2 and C1 further back. At 16.00 we start the descent to the BC which we reach in the already fractured darkness.

My guest is happy and pleased with us over the top.

THANK YOU for a great time of my clients and the team of Tenji, it was awesome !!!

Be well
