Would you like to come for dinner?
What do you eat on the mountain?
I eat specially prepared, high-calorie, freeze-dried food from a company in the UK called Expedition Foods and choose things such as chicken korma with rice.

Until I found
this supplier, I always battled to eat on the mountain as not feeling hungry is one of the effects of
high altitude. This brand makes it a little easier for me to keep eating as its
food somehow tastes better than others I have tried. Preparation is also easy
- just add boiling water. I know
that eating is important to replenish the calories I have burnt after six hours
and more each day when I will be climbing and making camp, especially if I want
to “work” at the same level the next day.
This year, I also
have a large number of high-energy powder, gels and bars which I use when
cycling which, hopefully, I will eat too to keep my energy levels high. I’ve also packed some Cokes and Red
Bull and will drink these, mostly after returning to ABC as they are too heavy
to carry up the mountain.
