Climber028 Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Has this been done before? Excuse the blurry video from my garbage phone. Nobody there had seen or heard of anybody doing this, wondering if others are capable. Everybody seems to have these plates lately and there's no way I'm pinching them so I came up with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannon Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 So that was thumbless, only fingers under the inside rim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, I know you can't tell from the video but this was only with the tips of my for fingers contacting the rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camz Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I did some similar stuff some years ago: 20kg/8mm rim: Rim-Crimp: 62kg/8mm rim: 2x50kg/11mm rim: Middlefinger/11mm rim: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 Awesome, I wish I knew how thick this was but definitely felt less than 8mm. Might have to buy one and see how much more I can add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
climber511 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Be very careful on any kind of rim lift - but especially any one finger lift - very dangerous. Easy to pull the tendons in the palm of your hand. Don't ask how I know that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tendons take immensely longer to build than muscles do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climber028 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 The video is full crimp but I did it several times before in half crimp as well as open crimp. That makes sense I had guessed 5-8mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climber028 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 Yup, typically micro crimps aren't trained unless you have a pulley system to remove some of your weight. I don't think I would ever put this in normal training rotation, it's just a fun trick. Makes me want to throw together something like an adjustable stirrup to get any width ledge and maybe use that for training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climber028 Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 I love the beastmaker boards, the wood is very skin friendly. There's also a company called crimpwerks that makes a modular crimp implement that you can either hang from something or use with a leading pin. I checked him out after king kong because I was so upset he beat me on two events haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
