It's easy to do this by kipping but much harder static. Probably about 7B+?

[Sasquatch]

   I can't even hang a crimp one handed, much less roll from open into closed. 

are those guys really that strong?

[Richie Crouch]

I'd wager it's a fair step beyond 7B+ strength to do 1 armed open to crimp finger pullups!

For a demonstation of how strong Micky Page is see him in (free too, nice one Nick  )

[a dense loner]

Sasquatch, no these guys aren't really that strong, not as we're being led to believe. After a bit of digging it was done by Jumping into a big edge, not gonna call it kipping cos it sounds ridiculous, still very impressive but not the myth that we're being sold

[Three Nine]

This girl down the Foundry last night was doing multiple open-crimp switches (4 or 5) with feet on, then resting a bit and repeating.

Which guys 

[a dense loner]

Well only one guy has been mentioned to be fair. Guys who I could think of off top of my head to do this static, poss u rodma, tim palmer, Moger in his prime, Malc, parsons, anyone that weighs less than 8 stone doesnt count in anything. not Micky, ned, dan, mike, can't think of any other good climbers, not that ure included in that category rodma

do you mean douglas?

I can't touch it, but it is my ultimate training goal along with one hand flick between small rungs, but i fear these may be pipe dreams for me. It won't stop me from trying though 

I know p-rob has done it, but I'm assuming by your sub 8stone comment that he doesn't count (I'll never be that light)

[a dense loner]

No I actually meant earl, I don't know who Douglas is. Micky has just said he can do it on front 2 but he doesn't wanna talk about it, adding why dont people just go and climb the sad wankers. I was sticking to Brits to make It easier

[rodma]

I don't know who douglas is either, but he claims it is 7b+, so I'm assuming he finds it a piece of piss.

Why would anyone just want to go climbing, that doesn't make any sense

You're friends with a guy that strong? That must be so awesome. How come you're always so reticent about it?

who shat in your coco pops this morning?

[Three Nine]

Probably some strong guy i'm chummy with

[a dense loner]

That was a joke he can't really do it on 2fingers. U seem to have a bit of a bee in your bonnet about my friends. I must ave mentioned his name 3 times in 18 mths, they just so happen to be on this thread. What gives?

[Three Nine]

Im just a prick, ignore me.

[a dense loner]

I've heard and I'm trying to

[Sasquatch]

Glad to know that I'm still crap at fingers after dedicating a full year to it.  At least I know how to improve:

Lock myself in cellar and do nothing but fingerboard and eat broccoli for the winter.  i'll emerge in the spring like a climbing butterfly, pasty white and ready to fly.

No doubt, you'd be rocket powered.

A good way to start training this might be by releasing slowly into open hand from a full crimp rather than vice versa.

[Nibile]

Today I found myself more than once thinking about where to put a campus rung to do this shit. It doesn't work on the BM rungs, I need something a bit incut I think. Luckily at the moment I still haven't found a suitable place.

[ghisino]

this is based on a part of the same principles...haf way between finger rolls and finger pullups.


using it from time to time i'd say it is best suited to phases where for any reason you want to put in a lot of volume or forearm work, as it's best attribute is the "work/trauma" ratio

[punkpunk]

Looks like a lapis roly bar?

Wow, 159.95 euros for that. One of these for a tenner would probably do the trick:

wow, inflation...

i had paid 85 euro including shipping in 2008 (still not cheap in hindsight)

[Richie Crouch]

Did some of these today after a good warmup.

Used the medium Metolius rungs Doing 5 sets of 4 reps of open to half crimp (both arms together). Felt intense and a bit awkward as my middle finger is like E.T.'s index, So tends to bow above the others when trying to hang open.

Is anyone able to do this shit utilising the pinkie without having to flick a bit at the end to get it into the crimp? Trying to go as slow and static as poss.

Will give it a few more sessions and see if there is noticeable improvement.
