I know you said in the lattice interview that your outdoor climbing videos don’t do well, which bums me out since I love them. But, I appreciate you doing it some times! I’d love to see you l, bobats/dab rats/Erik Karlsson/Emil/etc. do like a documentary or some kind of reel rock style video project!

[@bloodyfitnerd1947]

It's strange that they don't do as well, I find them more exciting.

[@gekquad116]

@@bloodyfitnerd1947 I think there is a subset of his fan base, like us, who are into raw climbing and will watch Reel Rock or Mellow videos but for most people, they may know him through Juji and Tom or through the “professional Climber tries x challenge” and may not be nearly as interested in projecting or outdoor climbing. Not that they should be, they came here for that style of content so when they see a video like this, they may not be as interested and with Magnus exploding recently, I think that maybe part of the reason why they don’t do as well. It does get tedious to see someone fall on the same set of moves over and over again so I think part of it is that it’s difficult for Magnus to balance making videos he likes which pay the bills and making videos he likes which may not pay the bills as readily. I imagine, like a lot of other KZbinrs, sponsorships and merch help pad out for videos which may not get as many views so I hope he continues to see success in that regard so we can continue to see great content like this.

[@ArtZ00]

Also love his climbing outdoors content. It's certainly a bummer that they don't do well but I'm happy he still does them from time to time. Thanks Magnus!

[@sethgilbertson2474]

@@bloodyfitnerd1947 It’s probably cuz most of his viewers are gym rats who don’t know how much more awesome outdoor climbing is!

[@JL-pc2eh]

@@sethgilbertson2474 I love climbing outdoors but I sometimes dont like outdoor climbing videos because you cant see the holds as good as indoors. Outdoor climbing with big cracks or tufas is great, but crimps that are not already full with chalk are hard to see.

[@WideBoyz]

Haha, before you know it you'll be mixed climbing in Scotland. Get those axes out!

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

That would make a good vid

[@Muck006]

"Mixed climbing"? Is that something like "mixed martial arts"? Since you mention Scotland it probably involves skirts and throwing logs too, right?

Marte: “You’re going to have to keep your shirt on” Magnus: “Well who knows, maybe not” There’s the Magnus we know and love!

[@Xeno87]

He only goes climbing in those conditions because he thinks the snow is chalk

[@joshualilly4855]

Turns around and calmly mentions, "This is the crux" on a 5.13b. Classic.

Thats the most Scandinavian thing i’ve ever ever seen

[@nocturnhabeo]

Hey I just want to say that you and Marte have a wonderful looking relationship. I know that a lot of the time editing can make things looking much different than they are but it looks like you too really have fun together and respect each other.

[@oskarskoglund9496]

Magnus blows into his shoes: Summons big cloud of chalk

[@HourRomanticist]

Ahh. Magnus. The chalk bender.

[@Schyluer]

Like Lebron but with climbing.

[@KimAndrewsbykimbo]

I've calculated the Magnus rating for this video: Magnus refers to how much chalk he uses: 10/10 Magnus keeps his shirt on: minus 2 points Magnus breaks off icicles then takes his jumper off: give two points back Magnus chalks his feet: add 4 points Final rating 14 out of ten, maximum Magnus plus p.s fantastic video too, that scenery is amazing

[@valeri95]

Might as well start ice climbing at this point

[@leoingson]

Magnus, there will always be this subgroup of (outdoor) climbers, that like those kind of videos the most. Thanks for making them!

[@jegjeg4530]

Magnus, I really appreciate your outdoor climbing videos. They also allow to grasp the beauty of the lanscape in Norway. Please continue!

[@yanish00]

Too cold for shirtless climbing means the grade goes up by a whole number! 😊

[@BeGravity4]

Really well shot. I know it is hard to video outdoor sport climbing for a vlog but this was well done.

[@Skaane]

thank you!

[@SigurdStette]

totally agree! thumbs up!

[@grafzhl]

Another video with just stellar music selection. Magnus's sense for overall aesthetics really shining through.

Magnus isnt editing these i think.

PEOPLE, you gotta start watching these outdoor climbing videos. We need more of these. Amazing content Magnus. Absolutely loved it.

@magnus we need a full hour vídeo of outdoor climbing. It's so peaceful and inspiring! Cheers from Portugal

[@ohaeggblad4411]

This climb is soo beautiful. The sun and the blue sky makes it look like a climbing calendar while if you pause the video.

[@joshualoveless3121]

I love the last 2 outdoor videos!! I know setting up outside is harder so you can't do as many routes and/or boulders let alone film it too. But I think most people on your channel just like to watch you. Whether your doing a challenge of some kind, indoor bouldering, indoor leading, or outdoor climbing. Your just a good influencer and you do a good job on the video edits. We will watch you do what ever as long as your still climbing. I miss you hanging out with Tom and Juji the most and can't wait to see the next video with them!

[@Bankai666]

Magnus the music is impeccable. This is my jam. Inspirational. Makes me want to go to the local crags in the winter.

[@toni_Menorca]

7:42 we can see Markus here, it's hard to film with no feet on the wall, he would appreciate a chair for long sessions

[@Skaane]

a chair would have been wonderful 😂

[@toni_Menorca]

@@Skaane I use a wooden board I made myself to release legs tension, I can send you one ;)

Really enjoying these outdoor climbing videos to go along with the indoor videos. And much love to Markus and Marte for enduring the cold and being part of the crew.

[@MsPlaybook]

Marte is doing a great job belaying! Learned so quick too!

[@1234qwerlmao]

So what are your fav tricks for cold weather climbing? Mine are: *Taping the first two digits of my fingers loosely. It kinda acts as a glove with out sacrificing much sensitivity. * Slightly larger shoes where you can fit a pair of socks in. * Keeping your climbing shoes inside your jacket until it's time to go. Cold rubber means cold feet, poor friction and small shoes. * Chemical hand warmer in chalk bag. * Get screaming barfies once. Let the pump settle (~10 mins) and then go before getting cold. * Jumping jacks or whatev before you go. * Larger harness so you can fit base layers without constricting circulation in the legs. * Keep layers on to overheat your core. Your body will want to cool down by opening the blood flow to your extremities.

[@racheLemiLy5]

Seriously though, this is love for and dedication to climbing. Clearing huge icicles from the route, climbing with frozen hands in -10 degree weather, and laughing through it all!

[@NOTYOU0BVIOUSLY]

These outdoor videos are so scenic, I love it

[@worldsaways717]

There’s a route near me with the name “Butcher of Baghdad,” around the same grade as this one. Seems like a common name for routes after a brief check on Mountain Project. For good reason, it seems.

[@franziskagrafe4130]

I just listened to your Q&A with lattice and i get so frustrated that your projecting videos aren’t gettting as many views. I understand it from a PR/regular person point of view but for us climbers (like me climbing 6c+ indoors and 5’s outdoors on lead after about 1,5 years of climbing) you are such an amazing inspiration! Just wanted you to know that!

[@flodef]

I thought I was brave climbing outside by 2°C on a north face ! But you're a master. Climbing on ice is very scary because it's slippery and your level is a lot worse from what you usually do. So congratulations for climbing an 8a with the cold. You have my full respect (even if you already had it !!). Thanks for this great video, showing that's not impossible. I won't complain of the cold next time ;-)

"Morrison hotel" and/or "Miles ahead" would be super to watch! Rumor has it that Robert Caspersen used to do laps on this one for training back in the 90's when he had done everything else around Oslo. Few people did 8a at that time. A super classic, despite its boulderiness!

flott video! kult å se mer av klatrestedene rundt Oslo

[@Muck006]

A few decades ago a boy had a "pocket warmer" ... which is basically a hand-sized little case with "a stick" (no idea what material) that gets burned over time. It was a pretty posh way of solving a "nonexistent" problem that couldnt be solved with better gloves for our school skiing trip. For Magnus climbing in these conditions such an item might be a good addition to the toolset. Even if it is just for emergencies - when the hands get REALLY COLD - it seems like a good idea. Not relying on "technical solutions" might be wiser though, because you are screwed if that should ever fail.
