In reply to: all this stuff has been pretty useful, id think that having a good amount of variety for whatever you bring would be best, so you won't get sick of the same thing over and over.
Or worse...find out that something that tastes good on the ground is making you feel sick up there, and you'll be bummed if it's the only thing that you brought... I'm less of a fan of Tastee Bites than I used to be. And I can't even fathom eating a peanut butter Cliff Bar.

micah - you posted horribly bad beta. i would fully expect to be jumped all over if i told people to bring cans of pork 'n beans in the alpine forum, and this is no different. 99% of the time when people are asking about wall food, they want to know for something like el cap. if you are doing walls in the ruth gorge, you really shouldn't need advice about food. if you are going to recommend something dangerously impractical for nearly all walls and only semi-useful for a few alpine walls, you really should clarify it. i am an alpine climber too, but i can still keep my wall food and my alpine food straight and post about them only when they are relevant.
pretty much everything i take up walls has meat(aside from the cans of peaches or pears or whatever that i supplement meals with) so my advice isn't too useful, but i shoot down bad information when i see it.

WTF. ignore this post, there's no information, just rant.
There is so much freakin' anger in the aid forum, its not even fun to read. Flame me if you want, but I thought it was a joke (and apparantly it was).
perhaps, it would have gone over better if micah had included the other part of the irish recipe: whiskey. you don't rehydrate with water, you add whiskey to the potatoes. And, once you add the whiskey, who cares if its warm, its freakin' whiskey. dinner is served.
is all this anger a result of drinking too much, or not drinking enough? people need to relax.

I saw that people put sandwich like materials in here. Have you looked into Yves veggie slices products? They make soy salami and cheese and other sandwich fixins that are meat-free and really not all that bad especially wrapped up in a tortilla. :D

Look for something called "Jerquee" in the health food store. It is a bag of little bits of vegetarian jerky that have different spicy flavors. I also prefer Clif bars, which are all vegan. For dinner food, I agree that Tasty Bites work well.

I think it's because there tend to be a lot responses from people who have NOT done a big wall in the sense the original poster was talking about. I know everyone likes to share their advice and experiences, but sometimes that advice does not apply to the type of climb originally mentioned.
When he talked about Lurking Fear, it's obvious he was talking about a multiday route on El Capitan. So anyone who has climbed El Cap, or any of the other "wall" routes up there like WFLT, SF of the Column, Prow would have answers that he would find useful and correct. I think some of the anger in this forum comes from people who HAVE that experience seeing people who've never been near Yosemite or those style big wall climbs giving advice about big walls there and what to do.
I have not climbed El Cap yet so I have nothing to offer the original poster. But I am a vegetarian and newbie wall climber so I am very interested in reading responses from those who've cooked or ate veggie style 1,000 ft off the deck on the Captain. :P

I found a yellow zucchini that some Koreans had dropped at the base of El Cap last year.
Amazingly, it wasn't even damaged.

In reply to: Yes but after a day or two your poop tube smells and looks like curry, and when you open the next packet of curry that looks like it might as well have come out of the poop tube, well, the apetite for Tasty Bites dwindles.
HaHa!! That's wicked funny!!
Um, josh why exactly were you smelling the poop tube??
I mean I know you get "wiff's" of it from time to time, but you'd really have to SMELL it to pick out the curry... :lol:
Try the chicken ones...29g of protein!!!

So you need to climb El Cap to be able to offer any advice on vegetarian food on a big wall?

it sure helps. otherwise you get well-intentioned but completely incorrect advice like several non wall climbers have offered up in this thread.

I dont have much experience with big walls, but I think Ive got a good suggestion. Petes Tofu 2 Go! Its triangles of precooked tofu that comes with different sauces. You just squeeze on the sauce and away you go! Super simple, high protien finger food with very little packaging.They have lots of different flavours-Mango wasabi, sesame ginger...... Its a canadian based company, so I dont know if its available in the states, but its worth a try.

I swear I was the first guy to bring tasty bites up a wall! I've also made the mistake of bringing two large pizzas from curry up the Salathe. Think juicy food that won't make you too thirsty.
Ok Spray aside, I recommend Jaipur vegetables as one of the best wall tasty bites, which you can buy from tastybite.com. If you dump some raisens and nuts into the foil before you eat em, you'lll increase the calories without the dry sensation of eating nuts plain.
I live near most the wall I climb so I have this luxury. I cook a nice dinner or two, say stuffed pasta with pesto with veggies or shrimp. Then I vacuum pack em and put em in the freezer. They come out the day of the wall and seem to last long enough although I eat em first and save the tasty bites for last.
Peace
karl

Well she should get plenty of protein from the byproducts of eating your nuts
