Burt Lindquist helping himself to the crux on the ...
Description
All You Can Eat is 20' left of Blue Mascara. The route is gently overhanging up to, and through the crux. Four bolts protect the lower moves and crux, a #9 stopper protects the last 20'. A little pumpy, lots of fun!
Protection
Four bolts, take a #9 stopper to protect upper moves. Two-bolt rappel/belay anchor on top.
Hey Brent! It is allways about cheese isn't it? No it pertains to a rather bad buffet dining experience we had at the Hill City Cafe the evening before. We think it made the grade of the climb harder. By the way - thanks for the drive to Spearfish Brent. I owe you those CD I keep saying I am going to send your way- BURT
I just did this route "all you can eat" and I must say that the climb was good, but I am still hungry. I thought 5.10c was a fine grade for the climb. Whoever put this route up must like cheap food and bolts, whats up with button heads?They could have just saved a bunch of money and use some nuts and cams down low. After all they call for nuts on the same type of terrain up high.I thought the clipping stances were well thought out and the anchor in good shape. Overall a well produced product.Way to open your eyes, see something and do it. Yo Brent did you look at this line in 75 or 76?Just kidding broLove Curt
Curt, I'm glad to hear you thought All You Can Eat was worth the effort. As far as the 5/16" buttonheads go, you're right. Beefier is better, I'll get them replaced.Cheers!
If after traversing ffrom the large hueco onto the crystals/knobs, you use the left arete, what's the grade? I thought 10a if using the arete. 10c if going straight up. Any thoughts?
