New Hard 5.13 Crack by Tom Randall in Italy

Tom Randall made the first ascent of La Cadenza di Amore 5.13c at Cadarese, Italy. The gneiss rock provided a splitter crack above a line of bolts for Randall to battle his way up. In an interview with UKClimbing.com, Randall said, “It was hard to be angry though as the climbing is sensationally good. It’s like an Italian version of The Quarryman in some ways – very, very technical micro-bridging, laybacking and palming etc. It’s such brilliant climbing as the hand holds are quite good but the positions and feet are really precarious…it’s very easy to fall off at any point!”
