SummitClimb Ama Dablam 2007: Ama Dablam Expedition Namche Bazar

Ama Dablam

Dear Everestnews Readers, Thank you for following the progress of our expedition. The team is now in Namche Bazar at 3400m enjoying a rest day. Namche is the Sherpa capital and has a permanent population of around 800. It's a awesome place, precariously situated in a bowl on the side of a mountain, with brilliant views of Kwande and Thamserku!

We enjoyed a fun night last night. We met up with a trekking group from South Africa. They'd just returned from Everest Basecasmp and were celebrating their success in the Cafe Danfe Bar. Of course we felt obligated to join them....

Tomorrow we leave for Pangboche at 3900m, after that, we will be switching to voice dispatches, as there is no email access beyond Namche Bazar. Just click on the link and listen to the voice file (EverestNews will show you how and publish all the dispatches). We will attempt to send them every day once we are in basecamp and on the mountain.

Thank you for following our expedition, From Jay Reilly and Summitclimb.
