Quickie entry
I've been been obsessing lately about Ama Dablam since the subject was raised two weeks ago. It's such a beautiful mountain and a the view from the campsites (especially Camp 2) are really hair-raising.
There are basically two ways of climbing the mountain: DIY (do-it-yourself) or supported. I found two videos on Youtube illustrating the difference.

DIY (and solo)
DIY-ing it requires full commitment. You have to know your shit, because chances of getting rescued if you make a mistake is very difficult.
Reading and watching about other people's expeditions give you valuable knowledge on what to prepare. My experience in Island Peak--especially the chest pains I had for weeks after returning home--has taught me the need to be in better physical form before heading back out there.
