10 Things Alex Honnold Can't Live Without | GQ Sports 

his real ten essentials are actually just his fingers

alex had to struggle to find 10 possessions

First guy on this show that didn’t make me feel poor

For a person who climbs the highest walls, he’s a very grounded guy

Alex is maybe the least materialistic person I’ve seen on this show.

Most celebs: *random object* just kinda makes me happy Alex: without this I would be dead.

Pistachio's de-shell themselves when they see Alex's hands.

Everyone else on GQ= Look at my gold plated iPhone Alex honnold= I have pistachios

Yeah he took the “can’t live without” thing very literally

Lmao “I got a sweater for when i get chilly a water bottle for when i get thirsty and snacks for when I get hungry.” That was very literal and I love it

i love how he looks at the people instead of the camera. it really does bring a realistic vibe of this guy. i like him lol

The only dude who came with his actual essentials

Crazy that a man with such huge hands uses an iphone SE.

This epsiode is basically ‚How old are Alex Honnold‘s essentials?‘

dude brought a friggin apple to this hahahhaa what a legend

I love how his hands just have like a permanent layer of chalk on them

That guy who gave him the laptop case probably was thinking: "This will serve him for a few weeks while he gets to buying a better case."

Haha this feels like a parody of GQ's whole channel

On his iphone: if it falls off the mountain, it falls off the mountain 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This man has No attachment to material things. An inspiration tbh.

GQ: Bring your essentials Rappers: LooK aT mY 50LB g0Ld cHAiN Alex: I have an apple and some water

I feel so honored!

I noticed that he keeps what works for him. It doesn't have to be the newest version. The mark of the true Craftsman, if it works- keep it.

Alex the most humble athlete ever

“National parks pass - most important thing in the wallet” legendary quotes

That sales manager who sent 12 pairs of shoes is the real mvp

the fact that he just has a picture of a good friend on his notebook is the most adorable thing I´ve ever seen :D Love it :D

I love how Alex explains every little detail of his essentials and his story with them. Here I got a backpack, here is the story Here I got a notebook, here is my advice Here I got a rope, more tips for you Here I got my water bottle, here I put my water and I do my smoothies

Rapper: Flexes Bustdown Rolex Alex: *I hAvE rOpE*

big ounce liked this video

The “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” type of living makes me really happy 👏

"A light layer is..." * tries to translate thoughts into the way normal people speak, gives up * "...often sufficient in the summer."

So, the funny thing is that Alex _can_ live without the climbing rope.

To be exceptional at something, you have to be obsessed. You can tell there is no room for anything in his mind other than climbing. And that is why he is the best

This man literally just chose one random day not to eat meat anymore. Has been Vegetarian for years now on ethical reasons (which is the only logical reason to give up meat in my opinion). Gives 33% of his income to Charity, a nonprofit he created himself. Lived out of a van, by choice, for years while writing books and doing talks around the country to inspire others. Has Aspergers, and has mastered the art of public speaking. Is the only living human being to Free-Solo El Capitan or the like. Which is 1,000 meters, and did it in less than 4 hours. Later that same day he went hang-gliding. Meanwhile, I struggle to get out of bed somedays. Really gives you a contrast of people in this world. I'm just glad there are people like him out there that inspire people like me to continue getting out of bed everyday.

Finally a non-materialistic episode, amazing to see people who use their things til they're done. Great for the environment and so anti-consumerism i love it

My man brought a sweater and an apple and upstaged everyone before flexing their 5k toiletry handbags 🤘

A 10 Things segment a normal person can actually relate to

I can't stop listening to this guy. How Precise, pragmatic, commited all his toughts are. He's definetly made with a different material that average humans

10 things Alex Honnold can't do without: 1. His earth-sized balls. 2. His superman-like nerves of steel. 3. Other stuff.

Expectations: This is a $2000, one of a kind, vintage Gucci wallet that I bought in memory of Harambe. Alex Honnold: This is a wallet

Huge respect for people that use their gadgets until they literally start falling apart. That's how it's supposed to be. 🤠

This is a guy that genuinely uses the things that he endorses, I have so much respect for Alex Honnold

at 01:02 he mentions a project he's trying. He actually managed to send it and it was his first of the grade, 9a(5.14d). Breaking into the 9's is a massively difficult thing to do and is especially impressive for a big wall climber like alex. If anybody wants a reference point, his free solo of el cap via freerider has a grade of 5.12d/5.13a. The new route he sent called arrested development is graded 5.14d.

I love how he says “it still works” he doesn’t care about the aesthetics or clout rather that the tool does its job

O M G! This man has no materialistic needs, this man knows his priorities correctly. Amazing.

Let’s be honest, Alex is probably the only guest to ever bring actual essentials to this show

an alex honnold flex: "yea. it was free. AND.. it works"

man really out here wearing the same shirt for 30 different interviews lmao.

Alex Honnold is the type of guy to chalk up his hands before going on a Date.

“I have a water bottle for when I get thirsty and some snacks for when I get hungry”

This guy should be recognized as the greatest athlete of all time. He set the bar for human endurance and sheer will along with other factors of course. Only a few sports in the world that would have an individual’s life in the forefront.

It's funny how there is even chalk stuck under his fingernails while he does the interview.

more like this! Bored of the Louis Vuitton toiletry and Rolex watches!

It’s pretty cool how so many of his things have a story behind it, like it was a gift, or is no longer in production and stuff. I think it kinda gives more meaning and worth to them even though they’re mostly just normal everyday items😅

If its not broken then dont replace it I like how he use his item to the fullest

Ending abruptly on "ropes are very important". Sounds very Honnold.

everyone else doing this: here's my fancy skincare and clothes alex honnold: here's an apple so i can eat

Definitely thought this was gonna be just him reviewing each of his fingers lol

Dude literally has chalk on his fingers. Some people talk, this dude really lives the life. Pretty inspirational honestly.

This guy is the literally representation of achieving the impossible.

He has the biggest, brightest, purest, cutest eyes I've seen on a human being! 😍

Love people like Alex. Not materialistic , not trying to flex. Just humble , doing his thing and excelling and inspiring. We need a lot more people like him

I love how efficient he is with everything. He seems to get great use out of his stuff and doesn't waste much.

"The light layer is often sufficient in the summer" - Alex Honnold, 5:11 What a legend

Love this man, such an idol. His film with NatGeo opened my eyes a lot

It’s funny how literally he takes everything. Even the fact that he is looking at the people behind the camera rather than the camera itself. 😂

"ropes are something i can't live without' says the person who did the el captain free solo

I love watching Alex. He exhibits no anxiety. None. Not a drop. Ever.

Yeay, Alex is back! I can listen to him talk about climbing all day. It's obvious that he loves what he's doing.

Alex is my role model I started watching free solo and I went to the climbing gym now I love climbing thanks Alex

I love how he prioritizes (or doesn't) the few possessions he has. It if works, he never replaces it. Everything is a story or an act of generosity. The one thing I cannot believe he doesn't get a sponsor for is an iPhone case, I mean of all the people in the world to sponsor a case for dropping your phone, it would be him!!!

Watched this dudes movie on a plane. Insane

A man about "true" essentials, not just stuff that is unnecessary and for the flare.

Alex is one of my favorite free spirited person out there. I was scrolling through GQ’s playlist of 10 essentials and he is the only one I wanted to watch. He is the epitome of someone who can find happiness in living simply and minimally.

Alex "For now it still works" Honnold

Other guests: Yes, I can't live without my LV bag and Gucci. Alex: Yup, ropes are important.

His items are actually things he need lol

after watching his documentary, just the sight of him makes my palms sweaty.

Feels so unpretentious, and genuine. One of the greatest athletes to ever walk this planet, and there seems to be no ego. Humble, down to Earth.

His hands are permanently chalked. No amount of O’keefes will sooth them things. But alex is a superhuman.

This guy is pure class and talent with balls of steel!

he is more a ''man'' than all the rappers/trappers that have this interview

He is so pure. I love it.

Finally, a first guest who ACTUALLY WON'T BE ABLE TO LIVE without these things.

Super bowl commercial with Alex Honnold for Pistachios?

Very humble guy. Love hearing his interviews on the JRE. Lives within his means and no reason to buy overly expensive items. Loved it.

Have literally been binge watching GQ Essentials (with rappers and musical artists) and Alex Honnold vids (filming free solo, ted talk, speed climbing, even the annoying oscar speech) for the past few days, so I was particularly surprised and hyped to see this. Thanks GQ, very cool!

Everyone featured on gq should be more down to earth like this guy

He is the least materialistic person ever. Alex literally lives life to the fullest, adventures all over and is quite honestly living the dream. I have so much respect for this guy!

I love how all his items - even those not related to climbing - are layered in chalk 😸

Man this guy is awesome. Very rarely do you see elite athletes at the top of their game living humble lifestyles, and being so level headed.

No designer products, candles/perfume, jewelry, gaming console and all that flexing. The man just brought true life saving essentials.

The most grounded guy of all. So humble and gives me lessons for life. Great dude

The fame he has and the simplicity with which he lives! Truly inspirational all around.

Probably one of the most genuine guy to ever existed, watching him just give me so much joy

the one person that really needs his essentials

Alex is a dream dude I love him... I want to hug him

03:37 I don’t think you have any attachments, period. If you look up the dictionary for the definition of ‘free spirit’ there would be a portrait of this guy.

He has the biggest hands and the smallest iPhone

This guy is an unbelievable athlete
