I don’t know why, but the guy that was teaching Magnus is one of my favorite guests on the channel. He just seemed like a very calm, knowledgeable teacher. I’d really like to see him back on the channel to do some more ice climbing with Magnus.

[@chops3902]

seems like a wise guy with lot of knowledge about mountain

[@shatter98]

I like how he denied Magnus leading. He recognized that Magnus wanted to and still said "no", you are not ready yet. Making those hard calls in the face of social pressure is the type of person I want to be in the mountains with. Being able to say, "No, that is not a smart move right now and to stick to your guns." First rule of leading ice is "do not fall." Having somebody who is inexperienced with the tools and is used to falling on climbing gear might trust the situation too much and things could quickly go south.

[@dave_h_8742]

@@shatter98 Yes solid guy, totally professional, would trust him totally with Magnus'es life 😀

[@ThePolishTraveller]

agreed kind of reminds of the infamous Everest tragedy from the 90s. If only the guides were as solid and refused to lead unfit clients or sttop before the point of no return

Petra was already such a climbing legend and now I learn she excels at ice climbing as well. Massive respect! Also wonder whether Magnus will sneak in some questions about the Olympics like he did with Adam. Would be cool to hear more about it from a female athlete.

[@jonathanschmidt1668]

she is a total badass there was an ice climbing world cup a few years ago where she continued to climb to a podium position with one leg after injuring her knee quite badly.

[@Chris-P.-Bacon-III]

Magnus is literally becoming THE climber. Throw him at anything, he'll get up it. I love this progression that he's had over the past several years... I can't wait to see where his journey takes him

[@n4boards144]

Magnus and his wonky helmet just wanting to get on with it reminds me of every overly keen 8-year old at the climbing wall

[@dave_h_8742]

And no skull cap under it covering his ears.

[@littlejackalo5326]

Yeah, he seems like such a D bag. Like no dude, you can't lead. You've been ice climbing for 1 day and you still don't get how to swing a hammer. He's the type of over confident tool that ends up getting hurt, and then since he's a KZbinr, it gets media attention, and then they start imposing more regulations on ice climbing.

[@tobilemoine9604]

I tried ice climbing once in Sweden, managed to scratch my head right above my right eyes with the ice pick, blood filled hat, no stitching required, a wonderful day. Watching this video brings back so many memories, thanks Magnus!

[@meganwong9508]

Ah, what a great video! After the figure 4 stuff with Pete in the last video, and you guys briefly chatting about ice climbing, I was hoping there would be plans for ice climbing; just didn't realize it would be so soon :). It's also fantastic that you got to meet with Petra - she's such an inspiring climber! I really appreciate that you not only did the more "traditional" ice climbing, but to also highlight the comp-style as well. It's interesting in that it reminds you a lot of what you even see with bouldering/sport (how those disciplines also have their own particular comp style!). It's also amazing to see how much the ice picks can really hold. It can feel scary to commit at first but with good placements, it's quite bomber. Looking forward to this series!

[@manuelc5592]

THANK YOU Magnus, for wearing a helmet! I see way too many pro climbers not wearing those, and I feel they might inspire other people to do the same, which is bad! You should wear a helmet while climbing, belaying and close to a crag. If rocks aren't a problem, someone might drop a quickdraw, carabiner or ice screw. Or a wild animal above the crag can drop a rock. You should wear a helmet! Life's much more valuable than looking 'cool' or the 50 bucks a helmet is worth. I'm glad to see you Magnus showing it!

[@spacescienceguy]

That undercling at 19:14 really had me go "ohhh" out loud. I didn't think that would go! I mostly boulder indoors, but I really appreciate getting a taste of what a 'sister sport' is like. I live in Sydney so I'm not aware of many ice climbing/dry tooling opportunities nearby, but I would love to try it one day.

[@Sigrt]

What would be a good ice climbing route for someone that's never tried it before? How about the qualifying route for the world championships?

[@emperorsascharoni9577]

Magnus being able to do the qualifiers after 3 days of training is incredible. Also he did match it for like half a second.

[@snefansson]

This was so much cooler than I expected, I wanna try now! Great job as an ambassador for climbing magnus 💪

[@Rajsist]

So happy to see you having Petra on the channel. Every time I see her, I get flashbacks of that unfortunate ice climbing comp injury, her incredible willpower and resilience to pull through it and battle it out through pain and tears for a couple more holds with basically one functioning leg. The atmosphere, the crowd cheers, the great commentary, and ofc the beast that is Petra Klingler... great, I'm all teary eyed again :)

[@lucrousseau6670]

very good video, Petra is such a nice person, lovely to see u 2 interact ! U also did so well (as expected :D ) on the wall, very nice to see something that close and at the same time that different from lead and boulder. THX

[@GrantJudkins]

I have been watching MM for a while, and one thing that really stuck me with this video (especially the ice climbing outside bits) is how incredibly high the production value is. The closeups are clean... the camera work and editing in general. You could easily produce large scale climbing docs....

That looks fun indeed, but tbh I've always been terrified by the fact that you're actually climbing with sharp blades on yourself: a friend of mine who was doing a dry tooling competition had the axe slip off an undercling and open his forehead in half, nothing too bad but 2 cm below it would have hit his eye... Honestly, who cares, I'm gonna try it anyway sooner or later!

You can definitely see the body awareness climbing position- like he's always trying to get hips into the wall even though ice climbing gear doesn't really lend itself to that. The first climb I swear he even did a mini flag before remembering, oh yeah, I have stabby things in my foot I can just put them into the wall. I'd love to try ice climbing and I've finally moved to a place that has ice- fingers crossed for next winter.

I did, although I couldn't place at first where I knew the melody from (I also don't think it's actually Mark Rober who owns/commissioned the piece of music btw, it's probably royalty free or from some site you can buy music for videos specifically - so I'm not even sure if he did it consciously!) but it is super catchy.
