Gear:

  • crimini mushrooms - full in a Snowpeak 700 ml cup; sliced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced small
  • 1/2 onion sliced
  • 1 roma tomato sliced
  • spices - 1/2 tsp each of cumin powder, coriander powder; and a pinch of gound cloves (a pinch of asafoetida if you have it :crosseye: )
  • 1/2 clove garlic, crushed
  • whole wheat tortillas 2-3.
  • cheese - smoked Gouda or extra sharp cheddar
  • salsa verde
  • sambhal Oelek (Rooster sauce) - optional; for the brave souls :mistat:
  • essentials: butter, olive oil, salt, pepper.

The Approach:

 

Saute the mushrooms in a thick-bottomed saucepan in 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil under medium high heat until brown. Set the mushrooms aside. In the remaining oil/butter, saute the onions and bell pepper for 3-4 minutes. Add the spices, salt to taste, and crushed garlic. Add a little bit of water to make the sauce, put the mushrooms back in the mix, and cook for another minute. Add herbs if desired to top it off (chives or thyme work well).

 

Sprinkle a pinch of salt on the wheat tortillas. Place appropriate amounts of diced tomatoes, extra onions if desired, cheese, 2 tbsps of mushroom curry, one tsp of salsa verde, pinch of rooster sauce to spice it up (wimps can use crushed black pepper instead), and wrap it up in a piece of aluminium foil, and keep it safe in your backpack. Make the burritos the night before you leave for the climb.

 

Note: Vegans can replace the cheese with boiled rice.

 

The climb:

 

Take a day off work (or call in sick last-minute). Pick your day carefully - you should NOT expect perfect weather. Go do Mt Daniel via Daniel glacier with a friend as a day trip. Enjoy your delicious veggie burrito de mundo after the summit scramble!!

 

 

Here are some pictures.

This is the Nepali "TNF" pack that my buddy got several years back at Namche Bazaar for $20-odd. Its time for a new pack:

All in all, a fun day out to eat the veggie burrito de Mundo!!

 

Gear Notes:

We roped up for the glacier on the way up, but found it really mellow. So, we did not rope up on the way back.

 

Approach Notes:

Trucks and other high clearance vehicles are AID!
