New Feat?

[Climber028]

 

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.

So that was thumbless, only fingers under the inside rim?

That was awesome!  You did great yesterday Mike.  Fun competing with you buddy.

Correct, I know you can't tell from the video but this was only with the tips of my for fingers contacting the rim.

I did some similar stuff some years ago:

20kg/8mm rim:

 

Rim-Crimp: 62kg/8mm rim:

 

2x50kg/11mm rim:

 

Middlefinger/11mm rim:

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.

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.

Definitely, I wouldn't suggest anybody do this with less than 2 years of training. Tendons take immensely longer to build than muscles do.

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.

Makes sense since it's essentially crimping a small ledge. Not even worth messing around with this lift in my opinion.

I think I know the guy who shot this video. Haha

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.

I would say its prob only a 5-6mm rim

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.
