good qustion..seriously.... for me... I don't like to be full of eggs and hashbrowns like some people when I climb....
I go for oatmeal....or one of those big ass metRx bars. Oatmeal is easy to digest and great for you. The MetRx bars have a ton of "stuff" in them that you are going to use during your morning plus they don't stuff your stomach but they still give you what you need. One of these plus a 32 ounce gatorade.
Of course if you are going all day you are going to need something around noon. peanut butter and banana sandwhich is great. ( I always have plenty of water...I don't mess with hydration)

eisoutside wrote: mix all these things together to get a breakfast that will keep you satisfied and give you energy for hours: - 1 cup plain oatmeal, cooked (good carbs, fiber) - 1 tbsp peanut butter (healthy fats, protein. the fat slows the digestion of carbs and gives you more energy for longer) - 1 sliced banana (again, good carbs, fiber, and potassium to help prevent cramps) - 1 tbsp honey (simple sugars to get you going soon, and it makes this whole concoction taste better) - 1 cup plain yogurt (lots of protein. if you use vanilla yogurt, skip the honey, unless you like super sweet things) - any other fruits you like, just mix them in. blueberries do really well. this is good about and hour and a half before climbing. if you're going to climb any sooner, i'd suggest eating only about 1/2 to 2/3 of it. feel free to play with the ratios anyway you like. this is what i use and it works really well. let me know what you think. -e
another great one... I am impressed.

Weed and Speed!!!
NO actually coffee and a Breakfast Burrito from wildoats. MMMMMMM. then all you need is a bar or two and some water for a full on all day multi-pitch epic.
PS For those of you who don't know a breakfast burrito consits of eggs, potatoes, cheese, bacon and green chile wrapped in a whole wheat tortilla. I usually only eat half the burrito and then have the second half for when we get back to the car.

I've always been a fan of oatmeal. It's a good source of what you need and easy to prepare on the road.
Not that I subscribe to this, but there is a route at The Homestead (Arizona) that is called Bowls for Breakfast. Somehow I don't think they were talking about oatmeal though...

Like to keep it light in the morning with oatmeal or cereal. More important if I am going to be out all day with only light snacks on some long multi pitch route I'll make sure to have a filling dinner. Single pitch routes I'll put half my pantry in my pack and snack all day between climbs.

Here you go...
At home premix the following:
5 minute oatmeal (not the prepackaged sugar-loaded ones, the kind in a tube)
brown sugar
cinammon
raisins
extras if you will have a long long day such as broken up bits of cliff-bars or nuts
Once you are camping all you have to do is boil water and boil the mix for 5 minutes. This will keep you going all day. It is bomber for alpine climbing. Compact, low fuel use, quick, and easy.

cliff bars and mate both give sustained energy. Although I usually just drink water with electrolyts. Then again I'm a noob so why should you listen to me what do I know. I'm ruining the sport of climbing. But I probably wont place a cam fully extended to get it stuck like the other noobs.

That's pretty much what I do. A couple packages of oatmeal, a touch of coffee or hot chocolate, and maybe a peanut butter granola bar before climbing. I'll usually pack a PB&J and a couple more granola bars.
I've done heavier breakfasts (including corn meal pancakes at the New once) that made me feel like I was having a high-gravity day. I'd rather not have much grease or feel overly full when I start climbing. Eating well the night before is a must.

I like to wash this down with a tumbler of JD and a couple fat stripes of crystal meth. Then I have energy to burn for days and days.

Ironically, I ate pop tarts before freeing my first big wall - http://www.ricklin.net/rainbow_wall/ 4th picture has poptart in it... 
I've done pop-tarts warmed over a small fire on a chilly October morning. I thought it was great, and would do it again. A bit of sugar for that quick step early in the morning. That tends to stick with me a little longer than a bowl of cereal.

Preheat oven to 475
Fry bacon - 2/3/4 strips
layer into small oven proof dish
break two/three/four eggs into dish
chop up fresh sage/chives/savory and put on eggs
cut up a couple of pieces of Gruyere cheese and layer on top of eggs
Bake for 14 minutes
Eat with two cups of espresso, an orange, and the NY Times.
Substitute dark beer for the orange if serving for dinner.
But what do I know?
Best, Kim

Eggs and oatmeal.
I put cheese and whatever else I have in the eggs (3-4). I also put a ton of brown sugar in my big bowl of oatmeal since it otherwise tastes so bad.
You need protein and carbs The protein sticks with you through the day the carbs give you quick energy.
In the winter I'll add in bacon with the eggs and substitute bacon grease fried potatoes for the oatmeal.
Another thing I like to do is take Gatorade or put some other type of drink mix in my water for fast extra calories though the day.

Had a salmon and cream cheese bagel on the first day of my trip and had yogurt with raspberries, granola and honey with another bowl of oatmeal on the side with some OJ the second day of climbing. Yum, fiber. Ate part of a steak and egg wrap on the rock. Seemed to work out great. The electrolyte tablet we added to the camelback seemed to be o.k too.
