On March 13, 1961, #Ama #Dablam was first climbed by Barry Bishop, Mike Gill, Mike Ward, and Wally Romanes as part of an expedition led by Sir Edmund #Hillary. Theirs was an impressive ascent, establishing what is now the standard route up the mountain, climbing via the Southwest Ridge. | In this photo, Ama Dablam rises behind a #Tibetan #Buddhist #chorten outside the village of #Pangboche, #Nepal. #eyesofbuddha #amadablam #climbinghistory #FirstAscent #everydayasia #everydaynepal #Buddha #WeLoveMountains #mountainlove #Khumbu #solukhumbu
