climber511 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Richard - I've been there and seen it and I've seen it on video but it would be neat if you could post a picture of the entire Grip Gauntlet along with the statistics of each piece. It's no doubt the ultimate multi event grip challenge in the world today and most people don't actually know what all it consists of.

MalachiMcMullen Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Here it is, unless it's changed: Indeed, but a picture of the grip gauntlet objects, even just a pile of them on a mat in no particular order would be neat. I know that I had no idea what "the bomb" looked like until the Durniat video, I would've never guessed it was actual defused ordinance! I don't know what Richard would think of this but for some of the objects, people could duplicate them as best they could and train for that lift with something as similar as possible to what Richard did. Maybe I'm just rambling but a pic of the objects would be pretty neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaster Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) Oops, I had posted a link to the Durniat thread that has video of the items, but I see that others have already watched it. http://www.sorinexforums.com/community/showthread.php?t=326 Edited March 22, 2008 by gaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
