Although climbing is a full-body exercise, nothing gets more of a workout than your forearm extensors and flexors—the muscles on the inside and outside of the forearm. Every crimp, pinch, jam, and slap employs these muscles, so they are susceptible to overuse injuries like chronic deep muscle soreness, elbow tendonitis, and compartment syndrome.
In a review where no product was considered tasty by all, it is impressive to note that Clif Shot received the highest overall marks for flavor. It also garnered unanimous praise for its Litter Leash, which connects the tear-off tab to the package’s main body after the shot has been opened. Finding somewhere for this little piece of Mylar to go is an annoyance with all other gels.
My culinary world changed when a generous friend, seeing me lagging during the hike into a backcountry rock route, passed me a silver-wrapped snack.
“Delicious,” “Yum!” and “Tastes great,” were just a few of the remarks made by testers describing Clif Bars, the only bar to receive unanimous praise for taste and texture.
