Ama Dablam: The Mother of Mountains
Rami Rasamny
An awe-inspiring journey, Ama Dablam: The Mother of Mountains is a documentary produced by Adrian Hartrick and brought to life by Life Happens Outdoors (LHO), under the direct leadership of founder Rami Rasamny.
The film follows Tony Aoun’s remarkable ascent of Ama Dablam, one of the most iconic and technically demanding peaks in the Himalayas. From his first summit of Kilimanjaro to the ridgelines of the Khumbu, Tony’s rapid progression as a climber reveals the discipline, resilience, and dedication needed to rise to such a challenge. Shot deep in the heart of Nepal, the documentary captures the raw beauty of high-altitude mountaineering and the realities of expedition life — from the physical and mental demands to the critical role of a professional, unified team when things don’t go as planned.
More than a summit story, The Mother of Mountains is a reflection on growth, grit, and the transformative power of the outdoors.
