Name: Daniel Kliger
Location: Teton National Park, Wyoming
About the sandwich: Climbing the Grand Teton has been on my list for a couple of years. I was able to meet up with my friend Trask this summer to attempt the Exum Ridge. A club sandwich seemed like an obvious choice for the summit. The Club, similar to the Grand, is classified by its prominence over all others around it. The video below shows that I was a bit rushed on top…we needed to get off the top before weather moved in. I shared the sandwich with the two other folks that summited just after us.

From: K Franz
Location: Somewhere north of Stewart, BC
About the sandwich:
This sandwich was special in so many ways. I was hungry after a busy morning’s work, so when i landed high on this glacier i remembered that i had not yet eaten lunch. I broke out my sandwich and happily discovered that half an avocado made it into my pack too. Onto the sandwich the avo went, and this baby was complete! Awesome avocado, two hunks of splendid Smithers Safeway sourdough, slices of tasty salami, oh-so-smooth Edam cheese, and a hint of dijon to bring it all together. Yum!
The “Porkcushka”
Pumpernickel rye bread, pork tenderloin, caramalized onions, Czech mustard.
From: Andy
Location: Wedge Glacier
About the sandwich:
Pumpernickel rye bread, pork tenderloin, caramalized onions, Czech mustard.
If it wasn’t for Alice, my babushka there would be no pork tenderloin.
Then I took a tip from my Dad, and grabbed some bread and put the
meat on.
I was up on Wedge glacier in the spring time, scoping out some couloirs to ski.
