Everything Pink Tastes Good stands as a compact, engaging sport climb carved out of the Lower Gorge's rugged limestone walls. This 50-foot pitch offers a blend of technical finesse and steady crack climbing that challenges climbers without overwhelming them. Starting with the initial two bolts of the nearby Road Wave 5.10a route, the climb swiftly turns right, guiding you into the first dihedral where a few precise, technical moves test finger strength and balance before pushing over the lip. From here, you'll journey upward through a series of clean cracks that demand delicate footwork and strategic hand placements.

The rock here has a firm texture, offering just enough friction to keep your smearing secure while navigating the subtle twists of the dihedral. As you trace the crack system, the route peels upward with steady momentum, ending just below a set of anchors equipped with seven bolts and mussy (rusty) hooks. Though the fixed gear is solid, the condition of the hooks suggests a cautious inspection before weighting them fully.

Situated on the eastern flank of the Owens River Gorge, Road Wave Crag basks in morning light and sheds heat by early afternoon, making spring and fall ideal climbing seasons. The approach is straightforward: a short hike over firm trail surfaces brings you to the base, allowing you to conserve energy for climbing rather than the trek in. The route’s single pitch, moderate length, and comfortable rating of 5.8 PG13 make it accessible for intermediate climbers looking to refine crack techniques while enjoying the stimulating environment of the Sierra Eastside.

Though the climb avoids sustained crux sequences, the technical nuances required to execute moves over the lip and through tight cracks invite focused effort. The 5.8 PG13 rating signals some protection placements may be a bit spaced, so staying alert and maintaining clean gear placements are essential to a safe experience. The anchors at the top serve as a solid belay station or rap point, facilitating a quick descent.

Beyond the climb itself, the Owens River Gorge offers a quiet stretch of wilderness with a river that babbles insistently below and tall pines stretching toward the open sky. The air often carries a crispness, especially in early morning hours, making hydration and layering critical considerations for your day out. Footwear with sticky rubber soles is a must to capitalize on the modest but demanding foot holds that pepper the route.

All told, Everything Pink Tastes Good expertly balances technical climbing with manageable exposure, welcoming climbers eager to sharpen crack skills in a setting that rewards both concentration and enthusiasm.
