Great advise for what to bring, BUT on super cold conditions don't bring an apple - it freezes and tastes really weird. Frozen bananas = good, frozen apples = weird.
Also, if you are going to have peanut butter and jelly make sure it is super cold or the jelly will go bad and your stomach will hate you (this is depending on how long you are out for!
My favorite for any hard backpacking/mtn active is Mac N' Cheese and Tuna it is sooooooo good and plenty o' carbs. It weighs in a bit more than some of the other stuff, but it actually tastes good :D

Free Tapatio hotsauce packets from Arby's
Enough sweets that I can bribe my partners as food starts running low, "OK you can have this candy bar but you gotta carry the......"

In reply to: I can't believe it took this long to mention Power Bars.
Body cannot digest that much protein at altitude
Not enough oxygen to burn protein, go carbs instead

I found a simple pilaf mix and added canned chicken, its become a staple
miso soup packets
Gu is awesome stuff!
GORP
jerky-beef, turkey, ahi
bagels w/ tomatoes and swiss cheese.
cliff ice bars are really good too, but like most bars keep em close to your body or they'll freeze

For a day trip? Just about anything I feel like carrying.
The meny for extended hikes comes right out of the NOLS Cookery book (if you don't have this one, go pick it up!); lunch is pita bread with pbj. :)

Good point Gooch. I go protein/carbs for the approach and lower altitudes, but once up high, it is strictly carbs. I have a problem getting down a Powerbar at sea level, let alone up high when I don't want to eat anything....gawd those things are AWFUL!
I go with Cliff Shots...like them better than GU...can actually swallow them without gagging...but be careful of the caffeine ones....I made the mistake of using them and then ran out of them and only had the regular shots....talk about crash and burn!
Have also used Accelerade powder to mix with my water...again, it's high carbs and I can drink it without gagging....I have a real problem getting anything down at altitude, so I'm really picky about what I haul up there.

I do not think that use of beer is good at altitude.
Bread,Tuna,Oatmeal,Jam,Coffee,Boiled Eggs,Noddles,Soups,Tin Meat which can be cooked with rice.
In Himalayas- we make fried rice with lentils,cereals,porridge,noodles,omellette-these are std. foods where one can add butter+bread+jam etc

2 year, 8 month old thread revived! N00bs, look at the date before you reply. Site admins, any chance we could go to archiving of old, dead threads like bikeforums does?

and since this thread has reserrected, here is what i have used:some stuff called ultralight joes moose goo. a bit weird, but not too weird and works pretty ok.
i just wouldnt want to use it as my everyday food for a longer time. Also like to bring some blood sausage, mustard, onions and cheese with me.
and here is a link to a few articles about the issue that i found pretty worth reading.

Site admins, any chance we could go to archiving of old, dead threads like bikeforums does? why that? maybe not everyone on that site has read that thread, and may find some usefull information in it, for what he otherwise had to open a new thread, just to get the response "do a search!".
If you go check out bikeforums, you will see that dead threads don't disappear, they just become uneditable. You can still search for them, and in fact about half the time when I start googling for some obscure tech question I end up finding the answer in an archived bikeforums post. Access to old threads = good. People with less than 10 posts making assinine replies to ancient threads = bad, but happens every day. BTW, I'm only being openly mean to this particular noob b/c several of his 5 posts are commercial in nature, and because he disapproves of beer for climbing (them's figtin' words to the portaledge crowd).

(Yes, I saw the date, nothing wrong with a good thread keepin' on)
For fast and light climbs:
Miso Packets - cheap, super light, tasty, nutritious.
Dried Meat - I stay away from the spiced up ones, not so good on the stomach when you are not eating much.
Oatmeal Packets - light, warm, filling.
Tortillas - take some packets of honey and a little baggie of cinammon to go with.
Tea --
A.W.'s Alpine Tea Recipe:
- (1) packet Chai Tea
- (1) 1gram Vitamin C tablet
- (2) 50mg Zinc tablet
- (1) Regular strength Aspirin
- (1) 1-a-day multivitamin
- (2) Packets of honey
Mix, heat, drink, climb, repeat.
Cheers,
A.W.
