Description
This route ascends the obvious corner system on the north face of Little Rock Candy Mountain. The chimney is in the gap between the spire and the main wall. To reach the corner system at the easiest possible grade, climb the easy face around the corner to the west (toward Echo Tee parking lot). Go up past a green bush and veer up and left onto a featured arete to go up to the sloping ledge. Step left and inward to the base of the easy dihedral that leads to the top. The various direct and not-so-direct starts from inside the corridor are all harder that the route described.
Once on the summit, rappel from the anchor atop the M&Ms climbs.
