Is it possible to buy a pair of these other than having to buy the full set? I'm keen to get my hands on some and get the board up.

They say somewhere that he hung a 20 mm edge with a total of 143 kg for 227% of his bodyweight.
So, 143:227x100 = 63 kg.
Those numbers are quite hardcore, both for the strength and for the pain tolerance.
I did some tests some time ago and managed +15 kg on a 5 mm edge and +40 kg on a 9 mm one. But with very short hangs, like a couple of seconds at best. I weigh 67 kg.
Painful and dangerous as hell. Props to him. +60 on a 10 mm is extreme and probably E8.

Beastly! The second vid makes me wince watching his round back when he's standing up with 60kg..

Impressive numbers there Lore, and you're probably right about the E8  ;D

I want to raise concerns about the safety.

Has anyone tested the sheer strength for these edges and the mounting? I think this is really important to consider.

I've seen edges rip off, and the damage that might cause could be catastrophic for anyone's climbing career.

If this has been tested, it would be great to hear how, and reassuring.

My vote still goes to Mrs TB  :clap2:

Judging by this random PDF i found on the internet we're going to need some seriously fat/strong climbers before this becomes a problem (or some bad mounting e.g. dodgy ply). https://www.buildgp.com/DocumentViewer.aspx?repository=bp&elementid=3806

Assuming the holds themselves aren't a point of failure, 3/4" ply (~19mm) and #12 screws (~5.4mm) then it gives a lateral breaking strength of 790lbs (~358kg) with the ply as the point of failure.

Not going to be a problem for most. Probably will only be mega beasts carrying enough weight on them to mame themselves. There’s too many of them these days anyway.

You're right there. Mega beasts everywhere!  ;D

If this does not belong here I don't know what does.
I am ashamed by my weakness.

In sliders and socks as well.

Dressing like an overweight middle age German at the pool seems to be de rigueur among teenage boys for some reason.

I can't find it now, but there was a video on instagram last night of Kokoro Fujii doing +35kg on a pretty bad looking edge.

Campusing onto, and off of, Beastmaker 45 slopers

That looks more like a trick than a legendary feat of strength to me. Would be more impressive if he actually stayed on the slopers after campussing to them, rather than retreating to a relative jug.

Classic LFoS material.

Right hand is out of shot for the whole process. I'm calling a sneaky out of shot ring hanging from the ceiling.. :)

Not the whole process. He's hanging with the right hand in shot. Then moves it out of shot.
