Route Notes Groups of independent teams organized by Snowy Horizon Treks. Translated from Google from Romanian website: Romanian team of Ama Dablam peak conquered the Himalayas without supplemental oxygen and Sherpas Alone on the mountain climbers from other countries that withdrew because of weather conditions and, Marius Gane, Teo Vlad and Zsolt Torok reached on May 9 Ama Dablam peak. Although it has "only" 6812m, Ama Dablam is considered one of the most difficult peaks. Ama Dablam ("necklace Mother") was approached by Romanian team on the ridge south-west with three camps, the last of which just under Dablam glacier. On May 9, three of the five participants reached the summit without using supplemental oxygen and without the local guides, Sherpas. "We had three camps. I was alone on the mountain. The other teams withdrew because conditions and weather. Snow day. A growing technique. If the public has been accustomed to perceive climbing like climbing the highest mountains and to lost essence that by climbing the steep walls of rock and ice, then Ama Dablam is an opportunity to give an example of what it means climbing at altitude. The difficulties are given by rock walls and in the last part of a side of ice. If in autumn usually mount is fully equipped with fixed ropes, now on much of the route we had to fend for themselves with cords of our as we scramble in the Carpathians, only that it was almost 7000m. Day by the peak was dramatic, lasted 23 hours. I have reached, Marius Gane and Zsolt Torok. In season have come just four climbers, all the top. the best known among them Jonathan Griffith." said Teo Vlad quote the blimunda-walk.blogspot.ro.
