Yesterday - Thursday, November 8th 2007 Richard Sorin Officially closed the #3 Captains of Crush Gripper.

Under the watchful (and very strict) eye of Will Millman, Richard Officially became the first, last, and oldest man to close the #3 Captains of Crush gripper.

"As many of you know, Richard has been training VERY hard to re-certify on the Captains of Crush #3 Gripper after 16 years since he was the first to ever do so. Yesterday he made history when he demolished the gripper under the watchful eye of Will Milman. It was a huge moment for us all, but especially Dad and I, he wanted this very much, and accomplished it. I am very proud of him, and this shows why he is and has always been my hero."

That's great. Figured it wouldn't take too long. I like the appoach of taking a squeeze on a heavier gripper first...
