He looks pretty fit, and climbs rather well.

I have decided I'm going to climb again, and this will be my target weight.

I think he is 5'11" and appears to be around 170.

I recently watched the North Face parking lot interview with him and Cedar Wright, and thought it was pretty good. Especially his take on Joshua Tree.

160: http://www.theadrenalist.com/adventure/climbing/is-alex-honnold-the-bravest-man-alive/

I've seen him in Bishop a few times, he's pro-climber skinny. Almost all of the high end climbers I see are very thin compared to the average dude, except for sharma, he is stacked.

Just watched the 60 minutes video.
Pretty good.
Kinda funny at the end of the video when they name the sponsor, Viagra.
I may need that too, soon.

Nope, no mole transplant.
I'm a little sick right now, and dropping weight like crazy.

I don't think he weighs anything at all.

That's why he never falls on all those free solos ......

Alex has a pet fly? That it was down isn't funny at all.

He's not religious and is smart enough to not waste time posting to this site. Unlike us...

I'm 5'11" and haven't seen 160 since sophomore year of high school. It's funny he and Hans have almost the same body, Hans is just a few inches taller.

I'm 6'1" and about 165 and right now can't climb worth a sh!t. Weight isn't everything. If you climb like a mofo, your body will find it's right weight.

klaus is awfully curious about Alex -- not that I judge that sort of thing

so he's 5'11" then? 5'11" 160?

I have a spreadsheet of alpine climbers' heights and weights. As far as I'm concerned, anyone with a "George Lowe weight" of 150-155 (on a 5'10" frame) is good for anything

especially if you happen to be George Lowe
