Route Notes While Schmidt was accompanying Nobmann to the airport on the 27th for Nobmann's flight home, his "heart, body, mind and spirit called him to head out to climb Ama Dablam solo in the next few days." So he flew back to Lukla on the 28th, trekked to Ama Dablam BC in one day, and on the 31st climbed from BC to the site of C3, where he bivouacked at 6000m. On 2 November he went for the top. He left his 6000m bivouac at 7 am on a "beautiful day" and was on the summit at 1:00 pm. He had to slow down at the final 70m to the top to join with another team's Sherpa to fix rope on the whole last section. He then descended to BC, where he arrived at 9 pm. On 3 November, he left BC and trekked back to Lukla. He flew to Kathmandu next day.
