All You Can Eat is a climbing area in California's Inyo National Forest, within the White Mountain Ranger District. It sits on city land, and two other climbing areas, Sanitarium and Upper Elbow Room, lie just 0.1 mile away, making this a cluster of crags rather than a single route. The climbing here is sport-based, with 13 sport routes and two trad routes among the 15 listed. Grades run from 5.6 up to 5.13a, with the median at 5.10b. Some of the named routes include Crotalulsley Challenged (5.6), Stay Hungry (5.10b) and Honey Mess (5.13a). Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 76°F and October highs around 71°F, while July averages climb to about 94°F. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the crags, so temperatures on the rock run cooler. Lower Rock Creek Trail, Section 3, is about 2.6 miles away, and Lower Rock Creek offers canoeing at 2.8 miles. Tuff Campground and Holiday Campground are both within about 6 miles.
