    The friction of the bar probably has a notable impact to how long you can hang on it. As an intermediate climber on a grippy wooden bar I did 3.5 and felt I could get to 4 in ideal circumstances. That bar looked pretty slick, not sure. This was fun to watch and you did really well nevertheless.

    You are awesome! You would put most guys to shame doing that test. If your looking for another challenge I have one for you. See how long you could hang from a 2" (5 cm) diameter rotating bar. You could use a wooden/steel/plastic bar supported on both sides by hanging rings. This size bar is what the harder paid hang challenges use because it makes it so hard. I use to beat the 2 minute hang challenge nearby last year before Covid that uses a large diameter bar, but I recently tried & failed after 1:30 so now I have to figure out how to be able to do it again. I've asked all top Male TH-camrs that did the hang challenge using an easier skinny diameter bar, but nobody seems up for the challenge. Maybe it's a Woman that will be the first TH-camr to do the hang challenge on a larger diameter bar which is allot harder.

    This is an interesting video and fun to watch. I really think you should be warning novices NOT to try the finger boarding with extra weight when many might not even have the tendons for 100%. Finger injuries are SO common for novice climbers trying to advance too quickly (myself included!). The others arguably are lower risk for injury?
    Also it would be useful to stress the importance of warming up properly too.
