Climbing Ama Dablam

I had the chance to climb Ama Dablam in the fall of 2021 with @Seven Summit Treks
Located in the Khumbu region of Nepal, the mountain famously looms over the Everest Base Camp Trek. Its name translates to "mother's necklace," with the the two ridges of the mountain representing the arms of a mother (ama), and the necklace (dablam), being the serac that hangs on its face. Ama is what I call my own mother back home.
We actually spent quite a few weeks at Basecamp, and left to climb Island Peak half way through, so the days are a bit rounded up :)
Anyway, thanks to ‪@JacksonGroves‬ for helping document the journey, and for letting me borrow his drone footage after mine crashed - you can see a screen-recorded bit of my last flight over camp 2 at the end of the video.
And to @Seven Summit Treks for sending us to cover the climb. Thanks Furtengi Sherpa for being an awesome guide!
And finally thanks to Everest Outfit for kitting me out with the summit suit!
If you'd like more info on the climb, you can read Jackson's article on Ama Dablam here:

    Outstanding filming. You seem very natural at altitude. I have climbed Island Peak a few years back and I was gasping for air. You make it seem so easy. I can’t wait to see you bag some 8000m peaks. I have been dreaming about going back to bag this peak and your video may have just inspired me to go back in 2023. Thank you.

    There are certain tools ( like altitude tents) that can help you prepare for such heights. Yes 6.5k meters above sealevel is tough. but it is doable

    Hi Pema, my kids and I are big fans of your videos. My 9 year-old daughter seems particularly inspired! Quick question, did you or someone in your group use Acrux AR boots for this climb? I thought I saw the characteristic “red toes” in one of your shots. I have those boots but figured they wouldn’t be warm enough for Ama Dablam. Thanks!
