Tom Randall takes huge fall on Crucifix Project at Canyonlands, USA.
Anyone who’s ever climbed some trad routes probably knows that eerie feeling all too well: you don’t have the right pro, you’re runout above your last piece of gear and you’re getting pumped out of your mind... Just like Tom Randall on his Crucifix Project at the White Rim in the Canyonlands close to Moab.
Randall discovered the climb together with Pete Whittaker after a painstaking search in spring 2016 and the two returned in autumn to attempt what may become one of the hardest trad climbs in the world. Although the 55 meter roof crack proved too difficult this time round, they did come up trumps on their stunning The Millennium Arch.
Find out more about the Crucifix Project - which they defined as "the holy grail of crack climbing” and The Millennium Arch in our interview here.
