I hope you smash it shut Tim! Give it a smack for me - since it totally punked me about 5 years ago.

Big time power.

Big time 3 whites - no doubts.

Especially attempt 3!

Closing the MM Level 3 gripper is a big time feat in my book. Many good men have failed.

Congrats!

Sweet! Thanks to everyone above for your support.

I'll be happy not to touch a gripper again for a while. Time to focus on pinch and axle.

A big thanks to Aaron and Heidi for hosting the cert.

No problem buddy, you earned that one big time!

Congratulations, Tim! It's one thing just to get it at all (strong in any book); another to do it so definitively.

Seriously cool Tim. You are so mild mannered, but you brought out a beast when I saw you crush that thing. Awesome job and very inspiring to me as a newbie. Thanks to you and Aaron for letting me be there!

Mobster was the last. January 20th, 2009. Almost two years. Some really strong guys missed it in the meantime. Ryan Johnson maybe three times, Frank once maybe twice, Jedd twice, maybe Mike R, I can't remember. That's a hard-hitting crowd.

Thank you all very much!

Here's a link to the video:

Closes are at 1:35, 4:15 and 7:00. My strategy was to use a fast set for the first two attempts then pause set the third, and the third actually turned out the best. Felt like I was good for another 10# yesterday.

The video is muted due to my lunatic-like yelling before the attempts... had to get amped up for this. Aaron, sorry for making your baby cry. I spent so much time reading the posts about this gripper's dubious history, I was honestly prepared for anything. When it melted in my hand on the first attempt my brain was flooded with euphoria and I was just giggling... This was an awesome day.
