Clif Bar or High 5

[Paul Walters]

I'm heading to the Alps in a few weeks for 6 days of toil on the mountains, hiking and climbing.
Which energy bar do people recommend? I've got an idea of which way I'm going on this..... trending toward Clif, BUT, what do you guys use ? Discuss.......

Try both before you go. Pick one

Try Chia Seed energy bars - fantastic.

Not a good idea to chop and change before any event. Pick one and stick with it.
Personally I like the Cliff shot blocks as it's easy to eat and lets you take a little every now and again.

A bag of jelly babies/Wine gums is the misers alternative = probably not a lot in it

I suggest you buy a few different kinds and see which you like. I tend to use high5 but that's only because I find them on offer a lot.

Edit: Bare in mind like said above, try to avoid changing just before the event.

High5 are moist and easy to swallow. Clif bars are quite dry. Difference is night and day at race effort for sure, I simply couldn't eat a Clif bar in a race.
