Climbers are a varied lot. Some of us obsess about our weight and subsist on a diet of white rice, broccoli and water with lemon slices in order to send the proj, while others chew on pork pie, potato chips and drink soda regularly, yet still crank the rad. No one is right, no one is wrong. But this is America, and we all have our unhealthy food vices. My vices are Twizzlers and oreos.

I'm just curious what other climbers' unhealthy food vices are.

Soda and Soft Serve ice cream. however somehow I always end up fasting for 6 hours before climbing every time. I figure it makes you lighter.

My worst vice is potato chips, I don't eat them often but when I do I can eat allot.

Sugar Corn Pops, Sugar Smacks, Apple Jacks, Lucky Charms, or any other of the 1000 different sweet cereals out there.

Either a Chubby's Special burrito or a Santiago's Breakfast Burrito. Both chains have several outlets in the Denver metro area, if I drive near one I am compelled to stop. The Chubby's Special will drip a half cup of that orange grease out the bottom while you eat it; a Santiago's breakfast burrito (w/ cheese) is just a calorie/carb bomb. Although I savor the burn, I really hate myself afterwards. I am a hot green chili addict.

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream--Biggest downfall is New York Super Fudge Chunk, with dishonorable mention to Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia.

doughnuts/pastries
rich desserts
ice cream

Garlic bread and Mountain Dew.

If I open a bag of candy, I finish it. Usually red vines. I love eating the cookie dough squares too (rarely do I make cookies out of it). I've sort of lost my taste for donuts but that used to be a major deal. Never ever ever drink diet and I'd carry coke instead of water everywhere if I could keep it cold. I almost forgot bacon...

I burn like a jillion calories away from climbing, this has more to do with that than climbing.

After a day of climbing it's hard to beat a greasy burger though.

Mountain Dew and pepperoni sticks, yum.....

Dove chocolate.

ditto on bacon...

white chocolate mousse, freshly baked cookies & cold milk, Julie's Org Vanilla IceCream w/Chocolate syrup, Chocolate IceCream w/whipped cream out of the can (reddi-whip type)

home-baked bread & warm biscuits w/melting butter

warm chips & salsa right after a long day of climbing

salty crunchy stuff like potato chips.

Easy Cheese and Triscuits with two or six beers.

Pizza and homemade beer with fresh squeezed lemon juice. Premium dark chocolate for dessert followed by more beer.

Cheesburgah, cheesburgah, cheesburgah!!!

sushi.

All the money that should go towards an alpine climbing trip to alaska gets eaten up during the course of like twelve BIG nights at the sushi bar.....with friends of course. Washed down with saki, chased with Cold Stream ice cream.........

jack

All you can eat pizza at Woody's in Golden, with a big Dr. Pepper. Mmmmmmmmm. Then beer.

my vice is beer....and just about any food that goes with it :)
