As for the one-arm pull-ups, the previous record was 14; Benoit Corby beat it by one with 15, but Micka Mawem pulverized it a few minutes later with a total of 20. Camille Pouget, who made the longest hang-time on a small 10mm crimp (71 seconds) took home the first female workshop vicotory in this comp's history.
