Grab a snickers or two. Yeah, they aren't the most healthy, but seem
to give me that extra boost when I need it. Energy bars just don't do
it for me. Accompanied with a Powerade, you should get the energy you
are looking for.

85+ degres and a snickers is mud. In addition to your gels/gt tabs
/lava tabs/
you may want to throw a handful of jolly rancher hard candys or some
other hard candy you like. Three of them give about 70 cal of pure
sugar and help keep your mouth moist in the heat. With practice
you'll be able to unwrap them with one hand while climbing a hill.

Good luck

I dunno... the way I'm huffing when climbing a "real hill" would make
it dangerous to put anything in my mouth that could get sucked down my
windpipe. The thought of choking while at or above AT is pretty
scary...
