Would like to get some solid or near solid food that I can eat in the middle of a 1.5 hr climb at 10k ft (Leadville). I have taken chopped up Cliff bars , but didn’t end up eating them as I wanted to maximize every breath. The kids’ version, Cliff Z Bar, is softer and requires less chews, but woul…
