Wazzu.....I can't wait for your TR.
I have a tradition of "Snickers at the Summit". That's any summit, Baldy, San Jacinto, Wilson, Whitney, etc.
For your hike to the summit, I don't do PB & J. I'm the opposite of John and don't enjoy them on the trail. I do get a turkey or tuna from Subway and keep it in a cooler, then put it in my pack for the hike up. Peanut M&M's, Cliff bars, possibly trail mix that you KNOW you will like. I drink Vitalyte. Before I head up, I drink about a liter of water or Vitalyte mix in water. The latter is probably a bit better. I also don't like GU, but I do like "Honey Stinger" with Ginseng. If you bring a P B & J, it tastes good on the sandwich. I also bring chocolate covered coffee beans, just in case I feel the need.
Not sure how you feel about over the counters, but I take Extra Strength Excedrin before my hike (with food)and also a bit before Trail camp and then again near the summit.
Good luck.....and keep hydrated.
