Alex Honnold of Free Solo Tests His Hand Strength at the Oscars

We met up with climber Alex Honnold prior to the Oscars to learn more about his hand strength. The Camry Dynamometer displays the amount of force in pounds a person's grip exerts.

It looks like he's way more interested in this than the actual Oscars.

[skerdoo]

I think the fact that he’s alive is the biggest testament to his grip strength

[conorheeley]

I like how he’s legitimately concerned about it

[knightsljx]

For those commenting on his average grip strength, you need to remember the kind of climbing Alex does. He doesn't just just have a grip strength of 93lbs, he can maintain that strength for hours

[crewe]

It’s really nice of him to get dressed up just for a grip strength test.

[gaitz]

He looks more concerned than he ever was on El Cap lol

[Rackson]

I heard this guy comes from a great family his mom being a teacher and his dad a mountain goat.

[Taylorrene]

Is it just me or does this guy look like a combination of 10 people you know

[honkytonkinson]

Guy at the oscars is more concerned with his asymmetrical hand strength than the fact that he’s being interviewed at the oscars!

[someonewhodoesstuffandthin]

Well now we know which hand he goes "solo" with. 🙊✊🏼

[cannonball]

Top athlete and gentleman with nothing to prove in a world of show offs. Just does incredible feats of intelligent endurance and doesn’t boast.

[whyishow]

I was expecting him to crush the device like how Vegeta destroyed the punching machine at the world martial arts tournament

[bryliang]

Great now you made him worried about muscle imbalances 😂

[MS-enen]

Nah he knows EXACTLY why he’s left hand has more grip 😂

[TonyEgg]

Just watched 'free solo'. This man has achieved the most incredible physical achievement of all time. Beautiful.

Girl: Do you play tennis?
Me: No why?
Girl: One arm feels more muscular than the other
Me: Oh yeah I play *all the tennis*

[mostpassiveuser]

He's worried because now everyone knows which hand he uses during lonely nights in his van.

[inbedwiththeweb]

My palms have only just stopped sweating from watching that movie a couple of weeks ago

[adredsox]

This man is a absolute anomaly of a human being. He thinks like a robot the way he analyzes everything and breaks everything down.

I like this video. Shows the type of person he is. Obsessed with his craft and not with the fruits that come (oscars) in a suit but acts like it’s any day climbing. This guy is a champ
