You should also be fully clothed... light long sleeve shirt, pants. Look at roofers. They work around hot tar all day in the same heat... look how they dress. They do so for a reason. I do so also because I am fair skinned and sunburn easy. Don't forget sunscreen as well.
When I used to climb towers regularly... I wore a camelback under my harness so that there would be a reminder to drink water by my mouth all the time. I think most climbers don't drink enough water because the bottle is in a bag somewhere and you simply forget to take the time to hydrate.
