Czechs Zdeněk Háček Hák and Jakub Kácha climbed the direttissima west wall of Ama Dablam (6812 m). Yesterday they descended to the second altitude camp of the normal route and today to the base camp. They climbed a direttissima west wall called American Direct, which was first climbed in 1990, as specified by Háček's sponsor Climbing Technology CZ this afternoon.

"We are ok at camp 2 of the normal route. BC tomorrow. We made it to the top but it was hard…," Háček wrote yesterday in a report by satellite phone.
