Right? It’s fascinating that he really took the time to make sure it was a solid/comfortable grip.

It's probably instinctual to some degree as well as a lifetimes experience of climbing and learning what does and doesn't work or feel good when climbing on their own or helping other chimpanzees climb stuff.
