‘Legend dairy’ man carries ice cream, dry ice up Colorado peak as treat for hikers

Denver – The hikers who climbed a Colorado mountain had more than a simple radical view at the top. A man in an unexpected ice cream cone cost distributed frozen treats.

No one seemed to know the man who wore ice cream sandwiches and dry ice in a peak of 60 pounds (27 kilograms) at the top of Huron Peak during the Labor Day weekend. But the word of him quickly spreads to hikers who always mount the mountain over 14,000 feet (4,267 meters) which is one of the highest in Colorado.

Blaine and Katie Griffin were about three -quarters of the Huron Peak path when other hikers told them about the man. They feared that he was not lacking in ice when they got there.

“Finally, we went up to the top of the mountain and, tired, warm, thirsty and did not know it, but the ice cream was just a little what we wanted,” said Blaine Griffin.

He and his wife enjoyed their ice cream sandwiches, which were still surprisingly very cold, with leftovers of pizza they were carrying with them.

Christopher Whitestone said that her two children, 11, 11, and Owen, 8, had gone directly to the glacier as soon as they reached the summit.

“This definitely leaves a lasting impression for my children as a very positive experience,” said Whitestone.

But he warned them not to expect them to mount a mountain.

Photos on social networks show the man in a campsite chair, a beer nestled in the armrest, wearing sunglasses with a false mustache attached. The members of a Facebook group for people dedicated to the climbing of the “14ers” of the State called him a hero, one of him declaring “dairy legend”.

Some have also been amazed at its ability to climb the mountain with such a heavy package.

Blaine Griffin said that the man had later passed them in front of them going down the mountain, this time without his costume, making him think that he had climbed it several times.

The ice cream had just led to when Ric and Sara Rosenkranz de Las Vegas reached the summit. But Ric Rosenkranz said that he was just happy to be able to attend the original waterfall, which, according to him, was a good antidote to focus on outdoor achievements.

“He gave a good reminder to simply take advantage of the moment,” said Rosenkranz, “making him really fun, not taking him more seriously than he should be and spend time with his colleagues hikers.”
