The most well-known shape of Ama Dablam, also known as "The Giant's Tooth," is
best seen from Thyangboche. It extends to the left to include a west ridge
with a peak of 6135m elevation, which resembles Ama Dablam greatly. That Ama
Dablam, which does not even attain 7000m in elevation, is famous probably due
to its strange, distinctive shape as well as its visibility from any point
along Imja Khola. Ama Dablam means "Mother's Necklace."
