Description 

Zardoz is located at the northeastern tip of the middle Hall of Horrors formation on a rounded and scooped low-angle face. There is a small roof about a third of the way up the route. Climb up to the roof (TCU can be placed here), then skirt the roof and head up the scooped face above past one bolt to the bolted anchor. NOTE! THIS ROUTE IS QUITE RUNOUT! DO NOT LEAD UNLESS YOU ARE SURE YOU WILL NOT FALL!


Protection 

Selection of small TCUs, bolt. Bolted anchor.

The name Zardoz comes from a 1974 sci-fi movie starring Sean Connery.

"The leader must not fall" ahh, those were the days, but before my time (honestly).

A selection of TCU's? I placed one under the roof and that was all I could find! Ran right up the first time - loved it! Scared the hell out of me the second time I led it. The slab part is no issue but I really wouldn't want to fall from the side of the block, above the roof. From now on it's lead Lickety Splits and leave Zardoz for the TR.
