Route questions, answered
Specific planning questions, with the scope of each source kept visible.
Which route is documented?
The Southwest Ridge, as a guided expedition listing. Other lines remain outside this selection.
Is the programme length the summit-climb duration?
No. The itinerary includes the approach, acclimatization, rotations and return. A standalone summit-day time remains open.
Why does the source show another height?
The imported catalogue gives 6,814 m; Madison lists 6,812 m. The difference is preserved rather than silently reconciled.

Research still needed
For Ama Dablam, this atlas does not yet document first-ascent history; checked seasonal restrictions. Missing first-ascent evidence does not mean a mountain is unclimbed.
