Meaning of Ama Dablam Mountain
Ama Dablam means “Mother’s necklace”. “Ama” means mother in Nepali and long ridges represent her arms. The famous hanging glacier which is just below the summit resembles the traditional Tibetan jewelry, which is called Dablam. These necklaces are usually worn by Sherpa women and it all started when Tibetan migrated to Nepal 400 years ago. Now, these people are the most powerful and strongest people called Sherpa.
First Ama Dablam was successfully climbed in 1961 by Mike Gill, Wally Romanes (NZ), Barry Bishop (USA), and Mike Ward (UK) from southern ridge.
