Hasn't voted | Yes it is indeed a nice mountain. Although we had some problems with one of our team member getting severe sick from his stomach. We needed a horse to get him back the 2-daytrail from BC to the next road, because he was to weak to walk.

what a stupid comment! there were 2,5 millions of tourist in Perú in 2010, so all they got sick for food? don't be ridiculous! | | Posted Jun 15, 2011 2:52 pm |

Hasn't voted | I don't see, what should be stupid or ridiculous with this comment. I don't refer to a wide range of tourists. This is a mountaineering site! This comment is my personal experience during mountaineering. In our group one member got seriously sick from salmonellae. He was so weak, we needed a horse to get him back in to civilisation. I met at least two other independent travelling mountaineers who also suffered severe stomach sickness.
There is for sure a statistic peak of those infections, that catch up to travelling mountaineers from the northern hemisphere. I also mountaineered in Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Venezuela, Nepal and all European countries of the Alps, but in any other country never met such a strong risc of getting sick from food.
There is for sure a relation to low hygenic standards in Peru. | | Posted Jun 16, 2011 12:42 pm |

Voted 10/10 | with Ejnar! This looks like somebody
playing around with whipped cream or
vanilla ice cream. Geez, I just made
myself hungry!!! | | Posted Feb 10, 2008 6:41 pm |

Hasn't voted | In German it's called "Schaum-Eis" what might be translated to English as "foam-ice"? | | Posted Feb 11, 2008 7:11 am |

Voted 10/10 | We weren't laughing at the mountain, we were
laughing "with" the mountain! The South
American peaks are always fasinating to look
at, whether they resemble whipped cream or
not. If I ever tried to attempt what some of
these outstanding ice and snow climbers are
doing, I would be nothing but "creamed." :) | | Posted Feb 11, 2008 12:59 pm |
