We had three #4 bolts going through our chain on our climber and it successfully lifted over 120 pounds. That being said, we only ran it maybe four or five times in total on our practice bot, and we haven't gotten to see what the strain of an entire competition would do to it, but in short, yeah it works. You can also put more bolts in or have multiple chains to help distribute the load.

As a FIRST Alum, it's nice to be able to eat dinner again. That is, until I get off the meal plan and have to start feeding myself.
FIRST is like Starbucks coffee, it's addicting and you just can't seem to get away from it... - Beth Sweet [more]
