Description
Red M&Ms is a great stemming route that heads up the corner just right of George and Martha. Any actual holds on the route are small and some stemming skill is a bit of a necessity.
The route starts with easier moves, and then gradually increasing in difficulty, with possibly the hardest move just below the anchor. Avoid using the wide crack on George and Martha.
This route started its life as a trad route, was bolted, and now chopped to make for an exercise in using thin pro. You can access the anchors from the routes on either side to set up a TR if you aren't comfortable on thin pro.

Climbs are graded based on an onsight lead, meaning you can't top rope a pitch, lower off and declare it trivial. If you lead climb, you can agree there's a damn sight difference between the safety of a top rope vs. placing your gear, especially on desperately thin leads.
I bet had you decided to lead Red M n M's onsight, you would agree with it's current grade. Oct 1, 2012

Had one of those freak sunny hail storms start up before the first crux, wetting my holds, and giving me the opportunity to test out what proved to be adequate gear.
Oh, and don't forget to hop onto Crossing the Delaware with your Pants Down afterward. Bring a .3/.4 C4 for this ultra fine climb. Apr 19, 2013

I'm not going to give too much beta, as to not take away from another's experience; but what I will say is that it's secure, safe, steep, and amazing. The biggest piece I placed was a yellow Metolius (.3 BD c3), but regretted not having a #1 BD down low. These cracks lust for small nuts, and if placing in both cracks, make sure to extend appropriately. Most of them would not be able to take an outward pull, but the steepness of the climb and clean nature of the falls gave me confidence in how they were oriented. Top crux must be pulled a few moves above a small nut, which could result in some great (and I mean great, I found out the hard way) air time on what is probably the smallest piece you've fallen on yet. So you've got to be okay with that.
I will say, though, that it is a pretty serious lead. The gear isn't TOO obvious, but it IS there. Must be comfortable on small gear (obviously), and must be able to maintain your composure or the disco leg will vibrate you right out of the stem box. You know pretty early on what you're going to have to deal with, and down climbing from low on the pitch is a real option.
Now get out, get psyched, and get on it. Mar 5, 2017

The grade is given based on ground up, onsight. period. Once done in this fashion, go ahead, downgrade it.declaring a downgrade after wiring the moves and/or protection (or especially a TR lap) is absurd.
If you find yourself at any point, using the right hand aerete. you are off route. climb the twin seams, plain and simple. i see way too many people doing this and it takes away from the difficulty of the pitch. Mar 25, 2018
