Show him watching the other cliff hanger scenes!!!!
His hands scare me
Alex is probably one of the most methodical people in existence. Along with his strong ability to control his fear, It takes such a mentality to be able to do what he does.
If Alex was born in india, he would have great rock climbing career as married engineer with 10 years of consulting experience.
SNAPCHAT in 2000?!? back in the day there werent smartphones REMEMBER? not even 20 years ago
Pause at 1:54 and then go Google Chimpanzee hands. Then come back and look at his
bet he's stronger than 98% of bodybuilders – functionally speaking.
Alex: "It's all realistic… except he's free-soloing a waterfall which is not realistic."
Also Alex: Free-soloed the Freestone route in Yosemite which is basically free-soloing a waterfall
“That’s so sick”. What is this guy? A highschool teenager?
His hands are HUGE!! Probably the best grip strength in the world LOL
His fingers have muscles……like they’re swole
While Alex talks and watches movies, my hands are sweating like crazy…and I'm sitting in front of my computer. Sick!
For the point Break explanation (6:35), btw Hinnold full crimp is not 20% stronger but 25%, cause 1 more finger out of 4 for a total of 5 is 1/4 😉
Anyone else still waiting for the point break clip? … I'm old.
Why didn't he critique the epic rock wall climb in the Princess Bride movie? RIP Andre the Giant
Tom Cruise does all his stunts
This guy can make girl squirt with his 1 finger alone

Sliding down and hoping you will grab the edge?
