Best post-climbing food at popular climbing areas?
|
|
I just got back from a trip to EPC, and my friends and I were talking about the best post-climbing food at various popular climbing areas, based loosely on price, proximity, sense of community, and (of course) deliciousness. Top tier:
Pretty Good:
Meh:
Any other noteworthy areas with great post-climbing food? |

The only benefit to bailing on a RMNP route is getting to Donut Haus before they are sold out |
|
|
Redpoint BBQ > Miguel's |
|
|
Redpoint Inn, Jasper TN. Right near Foster Falls, Dennys Cove, and Castle Rock. Pizza is miles better than miguels |
|
|
No long route in RMNP is complete without an avocado margarita at Ed’s Cantina. |
|
|
It’s pre-climb but cragging at Index without stopping at the Sultan Bakery is tough! |

The original on Sahara Ave always had hour+ waits *if* they were able to accommodate walk-ins. There's also Raku Grill ( https://www.raku-grill.com/copy-of-aburiya-raku-3 ) which is just spectacular. True, neither of these satisfy the community aspect, but for great food not on the strip and relatively near Red Rock they can't be beat. |

Tucson = Taco Bell on Grant rd. |

There are an increasing number of decent places for a post-Gunks meal in New Paltz, but closer to the cliffs, Emil’s Brauhaus has a very long tradition of being a climbers’ favorite. |

Our campsite. Cold beer and great food always. |

|
The pizza truck in the verdon is so good |
|

Uinta mountains, UT=Chevron Donuts! |

The best thing after a long day in Zion is getting beer and food at Oscars Cafe in Springdale |

Dornan’s after climbing in Grand Teton National Park. Buy a bottle of wine or some tall beers and bring them up onto the patio. Food is ok but you can’t beat the view. |

Red Rocks - The NY Pizza and Pasta in Summerlin in the Albertson's plaza is pretty legit - cheap, carb full, and the owner was super fussy over the fact we were tired climbers who needed to get out energy back and kept us well fed! Helps it's pretty much the first place you hit on your way out for when you're just goddam starving. |
