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...
anyone know?? with proof???
while we're at it smallest edge with 4/3/2/1 fingers?

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:

Yeah fuck the bevels.
That video tho :o Ruler looks taped for comfort but that is some serious mutant stuff :strongbench:
