Probably a little shorter Medley than years past. · One surprise event of my choice depending on time. · A wrist event – either · Reverse Bending – normal rules – wraps will be double leather with a 1 1/8” outside limit. EJ has graciously said he will provide calibrated stock – it’s been a long time since this has been contested. Please bring your own wraps if you have them.

Jedd Johnson Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Happy to bring my 14-lb Sledge if it is needed for the Sledge Choke. For NAGSC2016, we used hammers with 30-inch handles, in case you didn't know, Chris. Andrew had all of them. Maybe he can bring them. I, for one, hope we go with bending, simply because I've wanted to start back up for a while now, but haven't had the motivation just yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony C. Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Sweet. Any idea when the wrist event will be finalized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeezus Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I would prefer bending or sledge choke. I can bring a sledge or bending stock if we need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climber511 Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share Posted October 11, 2016 First Gripmas training session today after months of just climbing - kind of a ho hum session. Not horrible but certainly not good. Still have a little time - we'll see how things go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHenze646 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Is there a Facebook event for Gripmas? Whether or not I can make it, I know some people who should be there. If that's Ok, I would like to start pressuring them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh - remember who you're talking to (Mr Anti technology) - I have no idea how to start a FB page on Gripmas - my son set up my personal page for me. Feel free to make one up if you wish. So far two people have actually sent in entries - but it's still early - I'm hoping for a good turnout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
