The perfect climbing food is some- thing light, calorically dense, full of sugar and comes in a nonbreakable container. Fluff is light, calorically dense, full of sugar and comes in a nonbreakable container. Clip it to your harness, dear friend, and you’ll be sending 5.14’s in no time. Have a little stuck on your fingers? No worries. This shit is better than chalk.


The great Archibald Query first crafted up Fluff in the early 1900s. Four simple ingredients were com- bined to make absolute greatness: corn syrup, sugar, eggs and vanilla. You’ll have a hard time finding Fluff outside the Northeast, so


tough shit if this makes your mouth water. It may be best know for its combination with peanut butter, called Fluffernutter. While tasty, we think peanuts are for posers. So we choose to eat it straight.


There are too many great things to list in this article about Fluff. But here are a few: It costs $1.79 for a pound of this amazing substance. You can eat it with a spoon, fork, knife or chopsticks (seriously). It’s still made in the great state of Mas- sachusetts.
