What's the best food for a long day in the mountains?



Gu? Cliff bars? Snickers? For many decades I have sworn by fruitcake - delicious and the most calories for the buck - now that my mom has passed away, every year my sister sends me a new stock of Claxton's famous fruitcake. Truth be told, there are some Fossils who have not been able to warm up to this taste treat, because of an incident over 30 years ago on Denali, when our fruitcake was spoiled by a leaking can of Blazo.
