<p>I was watching <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2719848/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Everest (2015)</a> on the weekend and was wondering what the mountaineers do for sustenance on the day they attempt to summit. It appeared they left around midnight, aiming for a 2pm summit, returning to camp after dark. So even if things went well, they would be looking at 24 hours of climbing.</p> <p>What would they carry for sustenance?</p>
