No, this is totally trad - sport climbers and boulderers drink protein shakes, big wall climbers eat Spaghettios straight from the can with a long dong piton, and alpine climbers eat dehydrated potatoes, with their last tea bag, used 5 times thrown in for flavor - if they are lucky enough to have any food at all.

Flapjacks for brekkist to carbo load for the approach to the III 5.5 epic, Ham Sammiches for on the route, and the possible bivy.

I think you were wise to stick to the food and avoid the beverage question all together! Wink

Now THAT's a great way to start a day of trad climbing!

I dunno, a day of hard/long trad for me involves a cup of coffee for breakfast, an apple and cliff bar and gallon of water through the day, and a giant meat lovers pizza/pitcher of beer (per climber) for dinner.

Here's another vote for PB&J. Nothing touches them in terms of edibility/concentrated energy. Longer lasting and faster uptake than an energy bar, and a hell of a lot tastier. Ham sammys are tasty, but don't have the calories or steady release. Gels hit your system faster and harder, but don't last and taste like crap.

(with one caveat: It must be real peanut butter, not some shitty hydrogenated, processed, sweetened "peanut spread" like most of America seems to eat)

I would rather protect a Ham sammiches crack If it's anything like a Elephant butt crack.
Rather than a Pancacke flake.

PB&J gets smashed way too easily - then your gear is all sticky, and walking is uncomfortable.

Ham holds up to compression much better.
