I think the solution is in the brain. Stop over gripping. People with tremendous fitness can have this issue, and yet people with no fitness may never experience this problem. If you increase vo2 and endurance, that just means you can grip harder when maybe you just needed to grip less in the first place.

I wish it were this simple and this may play a role BUT have you ridden down Val Di Sole at speed? Sometimes not an option to grip it lighter..

​@@MovingTheNeedlePodcast I'm sure Val Di Sole is epic. But not so exotic of a problem as you might imagine. Have you spent an hour with your body weight hanging from your fingers? First thing you learn is not to over grip, else the easiest climbs will spit you out in minutes. Fitness plays a minor role in grip endurance, you have to specifically train isometric holds.
