smallest edge ever hung??
September 02, 2022, 07:04:57 pm
considering myself someone who knows a fair amount of completely useless climbing trivia, I realised I have no idea what the smallest edge anyone has ever hung off two armed...

One of those cheating "2mm" edges that's actually a 2mm flat edge with an 8mm bevel in front of it  :spank:

I listened to an old Jam Crack the other day, with Ned on, and he mentioned Puccio did a 1 armer on a 6mm edge at the first BIF. Not entirely an answer to the question but a cool bit of trivia

Here is Pete one arming an 8mil edge: https://www.instagram.com/p/CFco4mmjKv9/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

If you crimp with your thumb awkwardly as Pete does in that video it's a little easier. He can also do it without the thumb, mad impressive!

Quite a few people in Sheffield to my knowledge can hang the 8mil but I don't know of anyone who can hang the 6mm. This also doesn't really answer the question but ah well.

I was about to link him too. Like others have mentioned he does have micros with bevels.

I’m gonna go ahead and say it’s Petr Dumpik - in this video with Ondra they show a clip of him one arm hanging a ruler… :jaw:
