Edible panties, one, make a great snack, and two, will keep you warm incase of a cold-weather emergency.

T'row a Hammie in one of these: Don't be a noob and just wrap it in plastic wrap. Your apple will smoosh it in your backpack, and you'll end up with a flat foodlet. That's how you tell an amateur at the crag...

LOL, thanks for the advice guys! I'll stay clear of the beer for a while :) Looks like Trader J's is my spot. Bent_gate... funny you mentioned the plastic container because I just bought one so my son's lunch would stop getting smooshed. No hammie for me though, I'm a honey turkey kinda girl. LOL

You aren't really limited by weight or volume... You need plenty of water, and everything else is whatever strikes your fancy. Since I go with kids at least some of the time, I admit my food choices are more elaborate than most peoples'. If I go by myself, power bars, trail mix and an apple or banana is usually enough. But I pack pretty much any fruits or veggies that can be eaten without much fuss -- apples, plums, grapes (washed and carried in one of those pint-sized plastic clam-shell thingies that berries are usually sold in to avoid squishing it); blueberries-- same method of carrying them; carrots, sugar-snaps, bell peppers (yes, my kids will eat bell pepper as if it were a dessert fruit) other things: Cliff/granola/energy/power bars Trail mix (any combination of dried fruits and nuts, with some chocolate chips thrown in) Hard-boiled eggs. Cheesesticks and crackers. Juice boxes Sandwiches Instant soup and hot water in a thermos Good answer. I have even seen folks top roping with a grill.

hamptoncomesalive wrote: I'm still gunning for Camel Lights and PBR If you're going to step it up a notch with the peeber, might as well get yourself a pack of lucky strikes (if they still make them) instead of the camels. For food, it depends on what you're climbing. If sport - bring your turkey and brie sandwich in a rubbermaid. Don't forget the dijon mustard, lettuce, slicing tomato, your Wusthof paring knife, and 12 clif bars. If trad, all you need is a block of cheese, a salami, and a rusty blade or sharp rock. If toproping, bring the grill. And don't forget the portable TV. And 20 of your closest friends...

haha, on a slightly serious note- this is coming from a nutrition standpoint- climbing is an activity which has a lot to do with muscular strength and endurance, so take care of your muscles. eat some protein early, eat lots of carbs (especially fruit, not fruit juice, which is worthless, but actual fruit) while you're going, and then protein at the end of the day to assist in the rebuilding of your muscles. if you've had a really long day of climbing and your limbs hurt a lot, drink some kind of protein shake or eat something with a lot of protein before you go to bed. may not help you keep the weight off, but your body shuts down production of protein during the night, so aiding here is good. oh, and in terms of fruit, if you like citrus fruit, it is probably the best way to go for some energy.

For lunch, two options: a) whatever is in the fridge and is not decomposed yet. or b) whatever I can get for less than $2 in the gas station on my way to the crag.

Wasn't there a story about a team that hauled a grill, cooler, and food to the top of Castleton Tower, and started cooking burgers for anyone that summited? Memory is kinda hazy, so my recollection may be off. IIRC, I read it in an old edition of Alpinist.

These are all good ideas. However, there will come a time when your objective will be so far out from the beaten path that such quotidian fare will just not do. When you really need something that's going to stick: BC sandwich: -hearty multigrain bread, the thicker the better -chunky PB -sharp cheddar (at least four slices worth) -mayo (use more than you'd think you'd need) BC sandwich delux: -see above -add trail mix and nutella Nibble on one of these and you're set for the day.

beer is liquid bread, it's good for you. Seriously though, I usually eat oatmeal for breakfast and then take a few granola bars for lunch and I'm good till dinner. I don't get very hungry while climbing usually.
