Careful meals in ice cave
Soup, hot drinks, fruit, barley sugar, and chocolate were almost certainly on the dinner menu for Mark Inglis and Philip Doole in their ice cave on Mount Cook last evening. The climbers have been advised to consume the food, dropped to them on Tuesday, in a medically recommended sequence, to help combat dehydration. “They will be quite dehydrated, and so we recommended that they use their high carbohydrate food first before eating
proteins and fats,’’ said Dr Price. “Proteins and fats will give them lots of calories, but in their condition their kidneys might not be able to cope,” he said. ’Dr Price said that it had been proved on survival experiments that experienced climbers such as the two, became less dehydrated and lost less salt from their bodies. The ice cave in which the men have been trapped for 10 days is reported to be small and cramped.
