Before I went on my first high-altitude expedition, I asked fellow @clifbar athlete @hilareenelson for advice on what I should eat. She told me she mostly eats gels on big days at high altitude, and I’ve continued to follow her advice. Clif Bars are the ultimate energy foods for active adventurers and endurance athletes. The mix of carbs, fats, proteins and sugars all played a role to keep me on the move for an 18 hours on our summit day on Everest/Chomolungma. It’s was the perfect high-altitude snack when I saw down to take a break and pack up at camp 3. #MakeItGood
