Rock Candy 

I disagree. I wouldn't say this climb was stellar, but I had fun on it. I certainly didn't think it was a 5.9!!! The pro was all pretty solid. I don't remember feeling that any of it was particularly runout.

Bottom line: if you are visiting for a short while, skip this one. Go climb Chimney Rock or something on North Fin. If you are looking for a decent little 5.6+ that you haven't done, this one isn't that bad. At the very least, you get to practice some finger locks and stemming at the start.

Defnitely not 5.6. Maybe not 5.9 either, but I think a 5.7 leader would be a bit unhappy at the crux of this one. Agree that it's not great but worth doing if you've exhausted the rest of Green Slabs. Just don't be surprised if it's the hardest 5.6 you've seen.

I do not like this climb, and I have a strong suspicion that it is dangerous for the unintitiated...

Rock Candy does have some fun and interesting moves (as Bobby Hanson points out) and my hat is off to anyone who nails this route onsight -- including the first ascensionists -- but think about this one carefully if you are a genuine 5.6 or 5.7 leader -- maybe top rope it first?

Calling Rock Candy a 5.6 has always bothered me, and I would NEVER put a beginning leader on this route. If you are secure with leading 5.8s, and you have a goodly amount of trad-climbing under your belt, it should be a snap for you. But the hand placements of the pro on this route are trickier than you might think/ expect. I would rather solo this climb than try to adequately protect it, although Bobby Hanson found it securely protectable.

Scott Tucker's evaluation is probably valid -- in giving it a 5.7 rating for onsight leaders -- though it may only be 5.6 for top ropers or those leaders who are used to doing 5.10s.

After rainfalls, this crack can get VERY muddy, very loose!

As Almonzo and Bobby Hanson both put it, there are far better routes in the 5.6 to 5.7 bracket elsewhere -- maybe you should find one?

There is a second pitch here as well. The second pitch truly is runout, and goes up the face across the gully from the top of the first pitch. It has been many years since I climbed it, but I would guess it to be a 5.8R (or possibly X) face climb. If I remember correctly, there are some small nut placements to be had. This pitch certainly is NOT recommended (though I did have fun leading it).

It's a typo, ClimbAZ has EFR calling it a 5.9 when in reality he calls it 5.6..

To me felt more like 5.7+/8- but of course I don't know sh*t about chimney/offwidth technique.. Did get to place my #3 for the first time here though..

I loved it when it was over, I think it was my tenth lead climb, felt well protected, used my 3.5 camalot towards the top. Great fun for new trad leaders.
