Description 

Up the hand crack starting from the 5' boulder directly behind Zoid's Tower. A couple of the lower moves are thought-provoking, but there's nothing too strenuous and the protection is abundant.

As with most of the other moderates at Sugarite, the stances are great and the going gets easier as you go higher. An excellent intro to leading 5.8 trad.

Location 

RoR is mid-wall, just behind Zoid's Tower. There are a couple of anchors and a chain at the top.

Protection 

Standard rack, doubling up on hand-sized pieces (BD 1,2).
