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. |
