Ama Dablam Climbing Routes
Ama Dablam Route
Standing 6,810m high, Ama Dablam is a prominent peak located in the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal and is also dubbed as “Matterhorn of Himalayas” for its alike sore ridge. Famous for its thrilling ascent and breathtaking beauty among keen climbers, Ama Dablam remains invincible. The steep and abrupt surfaces of Ama Dablam climbing routes requires high technical climbing; therefore, ascending Ama Dablam has always been challenging.
The Matterhorn of Himalayas was given a name after its appearance. The long ridges on both sides look like spread arms of a mother(ama), and the glacier hanging on the southwest face of the mountain bears a resemblance to sacred jewelry worn around the neck by sherpas women called Dablam, eventually naming it as Ama Dablam. When translated into English, it means Mother’s Necklace.
Ama Dablam Climbing Routes
First ascended in 1961, Ama Dablam is one of the famous expeditions in Nepal, in fact, the third most popular peak for expedition. Every year hundreds of Alpinists come to conquer the peak. Different routes have been opened for ascending the peak. However, South-west ridge is prominent among others, the same route was used while conquering the Ama Dablam for the first time in 1961 by a group of mountaineers led by Sir Edmund Hillary. Even so, North Ridge Route, Northwest route are also attempted by alpinists. Still, no successful endeavor has been recorded from these routes, after the successful endeavor in 1979 from North Ridge Route.
Climbing Ama Dablam Easiest Route
South-West Ridge route is taken as the safest and possible route to the top of the peak to date. So, all the expeditions to the top are made via southwest Ridge. Before making it to the top, climbers set up three camps at different elevations above the Ama Dablam base camp(4,570m). The climb till Camp 1 is modest. However, when we gradually gain elevation, the vertical surfaces start showing up, making our ascending tougher.
The Climb from Camp 2 to the summit is not easy at all. In fact, the whole expedition is arduous. Not Everyone can scale the peak of Ama Dablam. Before reaching the summit from Camp 2, one more camp is set, Camp 3. The climb from Camp 3 to the submit gets more technical as the climbers have to cross snowy arête, bergschrund, and ice cliffs before reaching to the top.
Ama Dablam Camp 2
Ama Dablam boasts a beautiful campsite that sits at the elevation of 5900m above sea level, where expeditioners set camps which is titled as Ama Dablam Camp 2. The campsite is considered as one of the best places for camping in the world. The campsite has a meager rugged surface area on the top of a mountain that barely accommodates 5-6 tents.
The steep rocks and chunks of ice encountered on the way to Camp 2 is very difficult to overcome; ergo precipitous activities can also lead to tragedy. Nevertheless, the majestic Vistas of everest , Cho Oyu, Lhotse, and more seen from the Camp 2 are worth it.

Have you climbed Mount Rainier?
It’s a question a lot of park rangers get asked. A few of us have. Some, quite a few times. Whether climbing for work or recreation, it’s a question of training, endurance, skills (lots of them), equipment, and weather.
But it’s time to turn the tables. Have you ever climbed Mount Rainier?
What made the difference for you? Was it all the physical training that you put in making sure your body could take you to 14,410 feet above sea level? Was it the team you were with and how well you worked together? Maybe having all the skills down cold and using the right equipment? Or did reading the weather correctly make or break your attempt?
What’s your favorite story of climbing the heights of Mount Rainier?
For the latest information on climbing, please see our park climbing webpages https://www.nps.gov/mora/planyourvisit/climbing.htm , the excellent blog and very detailed information put together by our climbing rangers http://mountrainierclimbing.blogspot.com/ and check out the webcams at the high camps for the latest conditions https://www.nps.gov/mora/learn/photosmultimedia/webcams.htm
Please note that some of these pictures were taken within the last month but that conditions change quickly. Some photos are from last year. Thank you. NPS Photo (top).

Munday Mix Tape Compilation
To those who did submit for this meme, please let me know what you thought of the mixes.
iamyourdoubt asked:Oh my, what does this 🎼 bring to your mind?
Oh boy! This one was easy as hell
Terrible Lie- Nine Inch Nails
Window Licker- Aphex Twin
Battle in Me- Garbage
In My Head- Queens of the Stoneage
Eh- Death Grips
I admit for this I picked mostly tracks that would fit the mood with dealing with Doubt from denial in Terrible Lie, the active fight in Battle in Me and indifference with Eh. Window Licker just feels like you are being choked by a serpent that points out your mistakes. In My Head is over the bad deal making aspects of Doubt I wanted to at least touch on.
asktheboxghosts asked:🎼
Sick Sick Sick- Queens of the Stoneage
Kids See Ghosts- Kids See Ghosts
Downward Spiral- Danny Brown
Everything She Does Is Magic- Police
Knife Party- Deftones
Ok this one was also pretty fun to come up with. I wanted to make the playlist mostly around Fool. Downward Spiral can represent her on maybe one of her bad episodes and Sick Sick Sick can be the danger around her. Kids See Ghosts is a whole album about and made by people that are bipolar and have depression, so naturally, a song should fit there. Also, it has the chorus Kids See Ghosts which can mean false visions or how one can cope as a child. Everything She Does is Magic could capture that, despite how initially unintimidating she is, there is something unnerving when you pay attention. Knife Party is there because she has a knife.
askinggourgeist asked:🎼🎼👀👀 I’ll do it off askinggourgeist
Garden Shed- Tyler, the Creator
WASTE- BROCKHAMPTON
You’re My Best Friend- Queen
Take Care- Drake ft. Rhianna
The Thief- Minus the Bear
This one I knew immediately I wanted to go with Geist’s on hang ups on his past. Garden Shed and WASTE both deal with the angst he dealt with being alive, both as being a lowly thief and being rejected for being gay. You’re My Best Friend and Take Care are optimistic, regarding how he has come to accept himself better and finding good influences such as Eddy. Thief is more of a mood song, with a title about his old occupation.
transient-birds asked:// I'm too lazy to log into my other blog, so take this for Tobias 🎼
Hurt- Johnny Cash
Way Down- Kaleo
Sitting on the Dock of the Bay- Ottis Redding
Time Flies- Porcupine Trees
Sad and Lonely- DJ Shadow
Okay this playlist is just summarized as “Tired and Warry Music”. So I chose tracks that emphasized regret and being beaten down by life. I chose Time Flies because this blog had one of the most drastic reboots I have seen, one I still actually appreciate to this day.
askthepathfinder asked:🎼
Shock Me- Baroness
The Weapon- Rush
Ashes to Ashes- David Bowie
Trooper- Iron Maiden
Building Steam with a Grain of Salt- DJ Shadow
I admit I had a bit of a hard time making this one. Don’t know why. I went with some quintessential soldier-esque songs. Also DJ Shadow because I will convert people to his brilliance.
askgng asked:🎼this sounds interesting. Think you can do it for my blog?
Robot Rock- Daft Punk
Take a Byte- Janelle Monae
Metal Heart- Garbage
Trash- Death Grips
Harder Than Steel- Megas
Most of the these tracks have to do with robots with Take a Byte for Gardedroid and Harder Than Steel for 107-001 RR respectively. Trash represent Gardebitch looking through the gardevoir tag on tumblr or google.
Sorry Varta
deathbycelosia asked:🎼
Where This Flower Blooms- Tyler, the Creator
Egypt The Chains are On- Dio
Tragic Kingdom- No Doubt
Inchworm- Battles
Pyramids- Frank Ocean Child of the Desert- Circa Survive
I wanted tracks that would get the feeling of going through a desert on your own, with no one else but people you are wary of. Where This Flower Blooms relate to Celosia, just being an elegant song about someone who is not traditionally masculine and owns up to it. Also because Celosia is a grass type. Inchworm is like interacting with Ravenger, at first intimidating but winds up sounding goofy by the end.
NOTE: I did change one of the tracks for this one.
im-crow asked:🎼
My Thoughts on Neo Gaf Dying- JPEG Mafia
Everyday Bro- Jake Paul
What’s New Pussy Cat- Tom Jones
Hotline Bling- Drake
Photograph- Nickleback
Hey. You like memes. Here are some memes you meme. MEMES!
ghost--mod asked:🎼 for DailyArcticVaporeon!
Art Angel- Grimes
Feels Good- Jamiroquai
Gimmie Love- Carly Rae Jepsen
Waterslide- Chon
Ice Cream- Battles
Boy howdy I do not know a lot of bright optimistic music no I don’t. Most of these were mood centric tracks since River seems like an upbeat person. Hope you like the mix bag. One has a video of a dog on a skateboard.
leilani-popplio asked:🎼
Another Day In Paradise- Reel Big Fish
Red Rubberball- Street Light Manifesto
Mr. Bluesky- Electric Lights Orchestra
Circles- Incubus
Step Outside- Screaming Females
This one was interesting because again I tried to pick up beat songs, but each with their own kind of twists in the lyrics especially with Another Day and Red Rubber Ball. Bluesky is meant to be straight optimistic with Leilani being a sweet child. Circles and Step Outside are meant to be more representative of Kass, someone who is antagonist and enjoys a fight.
a-drays-mind asked:I'm on the phone don't mind me :'D music note for the twins' blog?
Bottomless Pit- Death Grips
HEAT- BROCKHAMPTON
TABOO- Denzel Curry
Bad Boyfriend- Garbage
Misfit Love- Queens of the Stoneage
This was one that I had a blast with and one I had in my head for a while. Bottomless Pitt and HEAT both have the energy of what it feels like being in Jake’s presence: it is stress inducing with Jake threatening you in some capacity. TABOO does sort of handle in how the siblings handle all of their sexual relationships with everyone involved. Bad Boyfriend does highlight how really warped and fucked up Sara and Jake’s relationship are. Misfit Love, however, could best describe the whole cast, fucked up but with varying degrees of comradery.
askbookwormflareon asked:🎼For Isis if you're still doing this?
I will also throw one track for Rosie and Honey as well.
Glass House- Screaming Females
Bergschrund- DJ Shadow
Can You Forgive Her- Pet Shop Boys
Don’t Speak- No Doubt
Rattlesnake- St. Vincent
Since this one was for a specific character this was a bit tougher, but I still think I managed to make a decent list. Glass House deals with how Isis was raised by her mom, in an abusive cult-like household. Can You Forgvie Her and Rattlesnake deal with the uncertainty about leaving her mom in terms of learning about what her mom withheld from her. Bergschrund is what I would see as her fight theme, very distorted but sharp. Don’t Speak deals with Rosie and Honey’s romantic relationship deteriorating and how it pains the both of them
occasionalmawile asked:🎼 (if you are still doing those of course!)
Can’t Get You Out of My Head- Kylie Mignoa
Venus Fly- Grimes
D.A.N.C.E- Justice
Heart- Petshop Boys
Making Most of the Night- Carly Rae Jepsen
The only reason this one was hard was because I had to cut a bunch of tracks due to lyrics having a double entendre which would not have jived at all with your blog, but had the word pink in it. I chose some more aesthetic stuff, a lot of happy and upbeat music that seems fitting for Azamu
🎼 i dont suppose you'd do one for askcannelleandfriends?
Step Outside- Screaming Females
Golden Gun Girls- Metric
In Your Honor- Foo Fighters
Bakuretsu Panie San- tricot
You Can Do It- No Doubt
For this one I chose a lot of tracks that convey Cannelle’s spunky attitude and willingness to persevere. You Can Do It, Golden Gun Girls and Step Outside both convey this well. In Your Honor is for Cannelle’s relationship with Lenox and how close they have become. The tricot song was just more of a mood piece because I want to rep tricot.
themeowsticvigilante asked:🎼 (I follow you on my main blog and I want to try this)
My Hero- Foo Fighters
Never the Heroes- Judas Priest
Hero- Nas
Demolition Man- Police
Cabin Killer- Doomtree
I had a theme with these, I’ll give you a hint. This list is a spectrum for a “hero”. My Hero being the most optimistic to Cabin Killer being the most brutal. Despite of the name Demolition Man can be read into as a film about the guy you call in to get a job done.
asktidethegastrodon asked:I’m not sure if you are still doing these but! 🎼
Violet- SavageGarden
Grow Up and Blow Away- Metric
November- Tyler the Creator
Mysterious Traveler- Weather Report
Frozen Creek- Circa Survive
And here is the last one! This one was hard because the cast was so big, but I chose to go with tracks to cover the mood of the blog. The first three meant to each be a mixture of happiness to nostalgia, due to the blog being about a group of friends. But the last two tracks deal with the more sinister stuff lurking in the blog, namely with the giratina.
