Ama Dablam 2013 - Gear List

Kathmandu & Khumbu - the Climb - Logistics & Gear - Full Gear List

So, I've finally started writing up a report of my Ama Dablam climb, which I did in november 2013. To start with the finale: I summited on november 22nd! This is the final part: the gear list.

You'll find 3 columns: the first is the type of gear, the second is the item I brought with me and the third is the weight in grams. For some items I've brought more then one (socks, etc. - you get the idea), but this is not reflected in the list. When building your own gear list be critical of what and how many you take.

So, I've finally started writing up this report of my Ama Dablam climb, which I did in november 2013. To start with the finale: I summited on november 22nd! This is part 3, about the logistics of the climb and the  gear I used. The first post is about Kathmandu and the Khumbu valley, the second about the actual climb.

The logistics in Nepal were all taken care of by Tim Mosedale (www.timmosedale.co.uk), who had organized the entire trip. All I needed to do was to book a return flight to Kathmandu. I flew with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines (www.klm.com), using the AMS-DEL-KTM route.

We reached Ama Dablam Base Camp on november 9th, after an initial puja at the monestary at Upper Pengboche. The puja ceremony is for luck on the climb.
