Next collaboration with Jujimufu and Tom Boyden in only a month from now!

[@SinoSene]

Wooohooo!

[@F3EDER]

Wow! Looking forward to that! It was that collab that made me start climbing. Trained for three months now and started at 5b-5c and am now at 6c for toprope and about the same for bouldering. Watching you climbing 8a and above with such ease having tested grips like that is nothing short of stunning. My dream is 7a right now. Mad respect for what you do and what you contribute to the scene through your videos!

[@carlosslim4916]

Awesome!!!! I hope they come to Norway this time as you always seem to lose your luggage 😁

This is random but I really like the fact that Tor Johnsson took time and made sure to state that he wants to make sure the rope gets tied properly and that he takes his role in keeping someone safe seriously. I think most people would have just laughed about it and paid very little attention to it, not mentioning it. Respect the guy a lot.

Hmm.. I belay my two friends multiple times a week and I (and them) check each others knots every time.

I love the support you guys gave to Eric who hadn't climbed in 4 years: No pressure, no condecension, no teasing, but no soft touch. Very manly yet sweet and caring I thought. A good group of fellas.

Good to see you Eric working so hard! Very inspiring :)

[@PompTheMoose]

I would love to see more videos of you climbing with your voiceovers that go really in depth to everything you're doing. You haven't had any of those in a while and I learned a TON from those. I love both styles of video but a few more walkthroughs would be really great!

[@jrnblue]

Great job. Not only is the content awesome but the filming, editing and music is top notch. I'm impressed.

[@ggreyshade]

awesome climbing guys, recently took up top rope and bouldering and am loving it. thanks keeping me inspired and showing me what's possible if i keep at it long enough

[@bernhardlangers778]

You will eventually run into a plateau. The important part then is to just keep going, doing a lot of routes at that level. Mine was 6c. That was really something else initially, but by now it is either endurance or just one move that keeps me from sending on the first go. 6c+ is another beast altogether. Depends on the route a lot and generally requires a lot of finger strength. Have a couple of 7as in the book, but am yet to flash a 6c+. So just keep going and things will start to feel easier as time progresses. And most importantly: Don't get injured.

[@michelefranciotta]

Magnus! You just blasted 100K subs, I'm sooo happy for you man! I started following when it was 400 (actually FOUR HUNDREDS) and I'm blown away by how your channel turned out to be. Keep going man, thank you for the inspiration :)

[@leonakadir3833]

[@TheBlueMan4567]

Woah I was not expecting but loved that music shift from the usual ambient music at 13:43!

[@chillierdavro]

Brilliant collaboration - you guys got me back into climbing again, I'm currently breaking in my new Scarpa Furia-S shoes :) Thanks for all the hard work!

[@willthr336]

David Stevens how are the furia s? I was going to get them but couldn’t find them to try on in stores so I was scared about them not fitting right, do they fit a narrow foot or a broad one?

[@chillierdavro]

@@willthr336 I have a fairly wide foot I'm normally a size UK 11 these news ones are UK 9 1/2 Many climbers (myself included) dramatically downsize their aggressive climbing shoes. But with the Furia S, I think you have to be extra careful not to downsize too much. your feet and experience may differ, so I’d first and foremost recommend that you try on the Furia S to see how it works with your feet. I find the Furia S to be very comfortable considering how tight they are, especially for such a downturned shoe, they really hold the front part so you can climb quite well with the heel unslipped. But once completely on the rubber seems very sticky and malleable, one of the softest shoes I’ve ever worn. Think they are going to take 10/20 climbing sessions to break in. But now my old red chilli climbing shoes feel like slippery carpet slippers now in comparison.

[@chillierdavro]

@Willthr A month later they have broken in and I'm pleased with them, really grippy rubber nice workmanship and I'm enjoying climbing again so I'm quite a happy chap.

quite confident with the slack.. omg

[@TheRandomSpectator]

Man, I can't wait for the day when lead climbing anything 5.10+ or above doesn't absolutely terrify me.

[@SirRabbit]

Sometimes not knowing the grade is a good thing. when I started leading I wasn't comfortable on anything higher than a 5.8, but I projected 5.9s, not a lack of ability, so much as just a fear of whipping, but one day my gym did a reset and they love to wait a few weeks before grading, so I hope don what I thought for sure was a 5.9 one day trying to push myself and flashed it, later they graded it as a 5.10. But it gave me the confidence I needed to really start pushing my leading harder than I was.

[@TheRandomSpectator]

@@SirRabbit thanks for the morale boost. I should start doing that, especially since my climbing partner always gives me shit for not going after the harder stuff/whippers (to get over the fear if nothing else).

[@sylvernale]

@@TheRandomSpectator imo, of you're doing fall training always do it in a way that doesn't leave you terrified, so you don't reinforce the fear. I like to train extremely small increments of falls so that it's anticlimactic (i.e falling at the bolt for every bolt, or slightly above for every bolt). Opposed to forcing myself into mega victory whippers which might cement my fear of it

[@TheRandomSpectator]

@@sylvernale That's a really good point, thanks for sharing. Unfortunately I don't get to climb much these days since I can't afford to go to a gym every week, and all the crags are at least an hour away, but I'll try to keep this in mind.

Magnus you are ridiculously efficient

[@haveawonderfulday279]

It's an amazing video. Thor please watch out not to give that much slack, it's dangerous 🙈.

[@Rowgue51]

He wasn't giving much slack. The fact that the last place Eric clipped in prior to letting go was almost a body length below him is why it looked like there was a bunch of slack.

[@kikiliptus]

[@plansero6376]

Hey Magnus, do you do any antagonist training? Because it seems you have a very good posture. Maybe you could also film it. Keep it up!

[@mattinahat6475]

My favourite par was "NNNJAARRRGHHH!!!!"

[@jazzbassinc.2726]

Perfect videoooo, what knot variation is Eric using by the way?

[@philipppuchner1115]

Bowline Knot. There are just 2 knots used to tie in the rope. The figure of eight and the bowline knot. Last one, because it is much more easy to untie, even if you fell in the rope. That's the reason for the figure of 8, because o normal overhand knot gets so tight when weighted, that you can't untie anymore. Bowline disadvantage: it is not as easy to check while partner check, while everybody knows a figure of eight knot and can see if it is right from far away.

[@paullegloan1502]

Damn look at Eric's guns

[@thinkpad20]

t's clear that Emil is on an elite level of climbing by any description of the word. Why hasn't he been in any IFSC events? Is it common for climbers of that calibre to not compete? I know Magnus retired, but not sure about Emil. Either way I love the videos, watching you guys climb is nothing short of inspiring! :)

[@chrishardy6471]

Yeah pretty common just depends how convenient it is usually

[@_sl3600]

I think Emil mentioned he might compete soon in a recent video (might have been in the first of this collab, actually).

[@thinkpad20]

@@_sl3600 Yeah I remember seeing that. Mostly curious how common it was for someone to reach a level where they could be competitive at professional events and not (yet) doing it. That might be kind of unique to climbing? I'm glad he's considering it! I'd love to see how he stacks up against some of the top climbers.

[@Woodroffski]

He's certainly got potential, but he really needs to work on his tactics and mental game, which are really far off the mark.

[@babsds0]

@@thinkpad20 Emil is definitely an amazing climber, but I think you seriously underestimate the level of competition present at ifsc climbing events. Emil would need to do some serious competition style training if he wanted to be even slightly competitive on an international level, since being talented alone is simply not enough. At an estimate I'd say 80% of the people who climb in senior ifsc boulder events have bouldered v13 or harder outdoors, and almost everyone who has made finals boulders at least v14. Fredrik is slightly better than Emil ,and even he was only placing in the mid to lower end of the rankings out of all the competitions he participated in, and even Ondra (arguably the best climber of all time) missed finals in the boulderng world championships this year.

[@BNasling]

Another inspiring vlog, as always! Have you climbed the route up on Preikestolen, Magnus, the one called # Norwegianstyle (I think)?

[@Trouvist]

OMG THAT BELAYER WTF... even at 3rd bolt, he still has ground fall potential.

[@kurtmacdonald8525]

I thought the same thing when I saw the amount of slack he had on the brake hand side. A little Buddha belly on the climber side is good after the ground fall range while not having a lot of slack / distance between brake hand and ATC.

[@kickassDOM]

What knot is that they are using to tie in to? Never seen it before. Not my trusty old figure of 8! :P
