I climb with Onbelay_osu and he doesn't drink just 9 cans. This dude is a mountain dew drinking machine, I've been trying to get him to quit for years. It's bad for ya. Stick with water before you climb.

And then pass the mountain dew.

Ceap-O-Rade:

1 gallon H2O
1 cup sugar
1 packet unsweetened Kool-Aid
1 teaspoon salt


Basically, it's Kool-Aid mixed half strength with a dash of salt.

For those hot days at the crag, I make it in two slung 1/2gal Gatorade bottles and freeze em solid for cold drink all day. 8)

Monster Energy drink, because it tastes like Red Bull and you get twice as much for the same price. That, and a Nalgene full of water.

Uh accept, the everything else but the beer.

I never added but did laugh at the last "Who drinks and climbs" thread but If what the fruits said was true then the first crag to be closed would be El Capitan.

Yea so pass me another Tecate , that is the real reason we bring a 6 mil line on a Wall.

Buck Up folks, I accept your sport climbing non aidin asses. We all climb.

Here in Boston, durring the winter I like to drink a coffee on the way ( sometimes I even go yuppie and spring for the "grande mocha late") ,bring 1-2 liters of water, prey someone brings a "box-of-joe" and if they do, share the 6 pack of homebrew I brought.
In the summer...god I miss those +40 days...a single coffee will do, but now multiple cups are required.

Magic Coffee: Strong Expresso + lots of sugar.

You can climb anything after drinking some :) always take some in a flask with me to the crag!

Otherwise its water or cordial for me!

Gatorade (Strawberry) or OJ.

Can't stand Mountain Dew. Culture bias, I suppose. I remember when they were marginal, nobody I knew actually drank the stuff, and they came out with the "Do the Dew" ad campaign trying to associate themselves with "Extreme Sports!" Irritated the crap out of me because they depicted themselves as an essential part of things I liked to do, but I never, ever, ever saw anyone drinking the stuff. Good job on the ad campaign, guys. It's worked like a charm, but I still don't drink it. :roll:

I am guessing he was talking about beer and tomato juice.... its actually pretty damn good. Another good one is 2/3 beer and 1/3 orange juice (no pulp). First time I had that, I was hooked. Its awesome with Hefeweizen !!!

As far as climbing... its gatorade - mix it with extra water in the Nalgene, and a Nalgene bladder full of water. I don't suggest putting anything but water into something that can't be washed in a dishwasher... unless you don't mind scrubbing with a bottle brush.

Water, water, and more water.

I might add a couple slices of lemon to the water, and perhaps a dash of salt.

After it's over, and we're back at camp or the pub, it's a good beer... Bass, O'Dell's 90 Schilling, Fat Tire, etc.

There are some damn educated responses here but these dew people are clearly uncivilized! Just the fact that it was invented to add to whiskey is abhorrant because any cultured drinker knows that the only time you're allowed to add a non-alcoholic beverage to alcohol (except water/ice) is south of 30*. My God, man, have some respect for the beverage, please.

Good answers include "beer during and scotch after" and "anything that will fit into my flask". That is proper drinking. All coffee before climbing references are just plain smart. Not only do friends not let friends drink cheap beer, but they don't let them not drink coffee. It's an ergogenic, for Chrissakes! Beer during climbing is a good choice as it's mainly water.

Apri-climb, begin with a martini (gin, of course, shaken like a tornado) before dinner and never more than two. Red wine is taken with dinner, of course. Post dinner my choice is a good single malt whisky (UK) or single barrell whiskey (US).

If it's a rather festive evening, always finish with beer to rehydrate.

1 cup of tea, 6 cups of coffee, 1/2 gallon of water, 1quart of either grape juice or Gatoraide, 1 beer preferably dark. This is all on a warm day. If it is not warm out I usually leave out the juice.

I have to announce to all that this is my 100th post.

Fluid? Check.
Non-toxic? Check.
Doesn't dissolve the interior of the nalgene-that's-been-through-hell (baccardi, schnapps, beer, kahlua, cheap beer, tequila, vodka, whiskey, unidentifiable based on smell and flavor; and water still tastes good coming out of it!)? Check.

2 red bulls or 1 Sobe adrenaline rush fit well into it, and it fits into my coat exceedingly well.

“I am a climber purely for drinking reasons.”

Now, imagine how silly that sounds? Well, it only sounds silly when you reflect upon 90% of the answers so far posted on this thread.

The fact that the question elicits one word, two or three word responses is a bit disconcerting. Sugar drinks, bad coffee with sugar, bad beer, bad drinking etiquette…all of these equals short attention span and lazy thinking. It smacks of a serious absence of vision.

I might suggest the following: If you like climbing so much (and if you like drinking so much), stop and think about what you’re doing.

If you find yourself taking it like a high school sport, then have your Gatorade and mountain dew. Some are just cut from a different cloth.

But if you find you respect the rock, enjoy lines and moves before grades and tick lists, then try a nice bourbon during and after a day of climbing. Bring a flask filled with a cheap but nice whiskey, such as Jim Beam or Old Overholt.

A good drink after a day of climbing is a firm bridge to the loftier subtleties the night may have to offer.

Mt. Dew. Strait from the can. About 9 cans a day. No mixing required.

I'll give you a reason to quit Dew....

I had this friend in high school whose father was dentist. He said that he could tell with 100% certainty which of his patients were chronic mountain dew drinkers, no matter how good their oral habits were. That stuff REALLY DOES rot your teeth....below the gum line where you can't brush, the FULL TABLESPOON OF SUGAR in each can sits down there, eating away at your chompers. W/out teeth, what are you going to use to hold the rope on a long clip?!? You gonna gum the rope, grandpa?

Coffee in the Morning

Then, have strong ice tea with eaqual frozen in Nalgene bottle for before the climb

Then, Koolaid, sugar and salt mixture frozen in Nalgene bottle for hydration during the climb

And always a Nalgene bottle with water for hydration in between

And beer after the climb, back at camp it's preferably a bottle of Spaten

In cold weather, I usually have black coffee in a thermos and Nalgene bottle with water.

gatorade before -- to kill the hangover

gatorade and water during -- for "peak" performance -- damn right i think the play on words is funny

beer afterwards -- main requirement is cold, plentiful, and non-macrobrew beverages

I wasn't aware they have Yuengling all the way out there in Utah!!

I prefer Yuengling as well. Everyone in PA seems to drink it like it's water, and being that it's essentially what I grew up on.

Absolutely.

Rumored to have been developed, or at least immortalized, by Dr. Coomer and his clan of bigwall fanatics.

One new years we put gatoritas (made with snow) head to head against the best Margaritas made in the traditional blender style. In the blind taste test, gatoritas won.

Before I climb: 16 oz. of fresh brewed coffee (strong and black) with a carb-laden breakfast.

While I climb: A 75% water, 25% Orange Gatorade Mix in my hydration pack.

After I climb: A cold beer (preferably a micro-brew like Hurrican Reef Carribean Style Pilsner.)

That evening: A 50/50 mix of Gran Marnier and a VSOP Cognac!

Any questions?

Mountain Dew. about three liters usually does it on an all day bouldering binge, two cubes will do to replace the 2liters. but for ling climbs i recommend water. with mountain dew before and after climbing. do the dew!

My drink: Herbal tea in the morning with a continental breakfast, on the route: a gatoraid type mix of 1/4 lemon 1/2 orange squeezed, 1/8 cup sugar, 1/2 tspn salt, with 32 oz of water. I'll make two of these and carry and extra gallon of water in the van for getting back.

After the climb, a double frozen margarita.
