Yep, same. Especially with content like this. 👍

The second channel has become the main channel in 2018 haha, glad he still has this style for the people that missed the old videos!

[@Macvombat]

It's Magnus but climbing. That is probably why a lot of us started watching in the first place and it's amazing to see some more pure climbing content from him.

[@mibroskiistoastie6782]

magnus just keeps casually dropping the craziest climbing lore and im here for it!

[@Balls_f0r_life.]

So true 😂

[@leorizzi3599]

Yes!!!! Rock climbing again ❤

[@Yakushii]

I'm somewhat below 7a still, and I've had a lot of fun there. I haven't sent anything, but just making attempts on routes in there is outstanding practice. And the people you meet there are all on the same team.

[@niconiconii4561]

Yes! Trying moves on harder grades are so much fun. And doing any of it makes it feel like an accomplishment on its own and you grow as a climber so much.

[@Yakushii]

​@@niconiconii4561Couldn't agree more!

[@briseboy]

Go to Flatanger, and you can be below 9c

[@DaftyBoi412]

It's so cool that you basically introduced Adam to this spot, I never knew that when he did Silence, and thought it was a pitch Adam had found somewhere. When I saw your video on Silence, I was so shocked you never seemed to have even mentioned it before haha. Super humble and cool, and super tough route Adam found there!

[@mr.labraderp4540]

Happy to see you back outside dude!

[@diegoignacioespinozabarrer3582]

This was awesome. I hope Magnus uploads more lead climbing videos.

[@ionaskaramaniolas9884]

i totally agree

[@boogaloo4640]

A lot of people are calling for more outdoor lead videos but the last time he posted one on his main channel, after walking across a frozen lake & knocking icicles off the route, it's only got 170k views. That was in Feb 2021. If we want him to post these videos, then people need to actually watch them

[@mylan_p]

@@boogaloo4640i totally understand what you’re saying, but i feel like the audience of this channel in particular consists of people who are here for 𝑴𝒂𝒈𝒏𝒖𝒔, not just for the flashy stuff that gets the views. if he uploaded a vlog of him simply going to mcdonald’s on this channel, i’d watch it

[@BeGravity4]

Thank you! More outdoor climbing please!

Casually dropping insane climbing lore. 'That's actually the first route I bolted'

[@nathanmoore167]

Really cool video Magnus!! Do anything you want on this channel the variety is great. It’s fun seeing you get outside and back on lead though ❤

[@eun-solkim7080]

That transition shot on Odin's Eye was epic

[@ShakespeareanBroncobuster]

I wish people understood how elite Magnus is. He said that he doesn’t even train on lead anymore. He rarely does it. He can still send 8a+ off the couch with relative ease… insane

[@static_motion]

Magnus in his prime was such a beast. For some time he was one of just a handful of people to ever have onsighted 8c+ or higher.

[@slbaaron]

Magnus has said that his body type might've suited better to bouldering than lead, only that when he was youth there's no bouldering competition so he can only do lead and that's the one he stuck to, and no one knows if he could've done more if he started and main'd bouldering instead. I honestly kind of disagree. No matter in-door or out-door, the absolute top level bouldering has became less about explosive *raw* strength but either extremely technical coordination or extreme finger tip level crimp strength to body weight ratio. I honestly don't think Magnus would be the first V17 boulderer or a regular world cup podium placer. Instead, his mixture of explosiveness, endurance (or endurance in explosiveness if you will) and "intuition" in climbing suits much better for top level lead climbing. Like Magnus said, he probably didn't have the most optimal training back then and had some mental game aspects that could've improved, yet he was already crazy good for his days. I truly believe he had even higher potentials in lead.

[@poolkrooni]

I think in almost any other decade, he would’ve been #1 or #2 in the world, his generation of climbers just happens to be so filled with talent.

[@skyex5047]

His legs are indeed pretty big compared to other top climbers. He mentioned it himself in a video a while ago, but in this one, it's clearly visible.

[@climbjay]

Yeah he’s an unbelievably talented climber

[@davidwilson12590]

I'm so stoked to get some videos of you climbing outdoors again 😊 can't get enough of Stefano these days either, he's such a goofy character. I'd love to see you on some hard multipitch in the future, just a thought!

[@MichaelB-u1n]

Such amazing content !! Reminds me of how your channel first started, just you climbing is all I ever need to see, it never gets old!! Well done on that climb, you’re such a strong climber!!!

[@InterwovenElements]

The videography and editing of this was fantastic. Magnus, always a pleasure to watch any of your videos. You're without a doubt my favorite content creator on youtube. Years ago I was super depressed, very injured and had a big falling out with a huge group of my friends all at the start of Covid. I had kind of given up on a lot of things but I remember one small video you made about going to your friend's barn home climbing wall and setting and climbing some routes with them, the video got me psyched to try and regain my strength. It's been about four years now but I'm almost completely recovered from my injury and have been climbing consistently again. I know you'll probably never see this message but I genuinely want to thank you for inspiring a community the way you have. You're the best, man!

[@DJKSB58]

Totally agree with you regarding the quality of this video. Thanks for sharing your story. Congrats on overcoming so many obstacles

[@phillipjones2882]

I've been watching you for years before I ever considered climbing. After climbing for 2 years I bought my first pair of shoes today. I'm hoping the new shoes will get me to that 7A-7B level, and if not, well tops off for power. Youve been such an inspiration than you for continuing with the climbing videos. Best wishes from CZ :)

[@hawk0485]

I clicked to see you interact with all the famous climbers, but your climb was the best part of the video, it was more thrilling than what you did in the main channel video!

[@waivve7674]

I’m starting to enjoy the rock climbing in th second channel more than the main channel

[@paologuarano9760]

Video has a real feel to it, could feel that anxiety in your breathing near the top. Great stuff

[@sabacado]

magnus, your ability to push past the fear of failing is why we love you. could watch you fail a route 100 times, and it'd still be entertaining

[@boogaloo4640]

Magnus seems to have remembered who he is. Love this 😍 Elden Inuti - The fire inside

[@Lann094]

That transition at 4:40 is so insanely slick. I had to rewatch a few times to admire it

[@thenicholasrossacademy]

So good to see you climbing on routes again. I think a new series "The Road Back to 9A" would be a great series of videos to follow. It'd be nice to see Magnus send a more difficult route in each video, unitl he reaches 9a, and who knows, maybe even 9b again. However, with the amount of filming Magnus does, it might be hard to schedule this in...

[@janrosenboom5852]

[@milearares3764]

This might be a weird comment but I wanted to say I feel like some of your videos could definitely be longer and I would be happy to watch them. You do crazy collabs and travel so much and the video is 20 min or even less sometimes. I just think people would enjoy watching longer videos too.

[@Slaskhask]

I think it's an youtube algorithm thing. I forget if Magnus mentioned it in a previous video or some podcast I watched, but keeping up with algorithm changes is usually why videos are kept at a certain length both to maximize views and get the ad revenue.

[@androgynousmaggot9389]

​@Slaskhask yeah, but for the second channel he could have more "passion" projects, without worrying about the algorithm! Also the algorithm likes longer format with more engagement (comments)

[@_Mountain_Dave]

Guessing Alex was their for change and this was beginning of Sept. Must be a busier crowd than when you first bolted your orignal route at Hanshelleren. If you read this Magnus how does it feel climbing there now compared to when you and Andrada first started bolting, mad to think at that point the main cave hadn't been touched apart from the sidewalls. Must be weird how it's now a hangout each summer for the world's elite to come and test themselves along with the rest, has it got too busy yet on the easier routes? Safe travels, safe pitches, great vlog, hope you enjoyed being back on the rock. Greetings from the Alps/UK. PS - Edit - You clearly had alot more in the tank (and a few grade's), t-shirt wasn't even off 😉

[@HourRomanticist]

Right after the Olympics, Megos and Stefano came to Flatanger. Megos did Change 9b+ (some say 9b/+ with pads) and Move 9b/+. Stefano is obviously projecting Silence and has previously done both Change, Move and a couple others.

[@NeesyPlaysGuitar]

Fair to say you still have it!

[@HourRomanticist]

I'll admit I was a doubter. It's really surprising to me how much endurance can be maintained even without any endurance training. Granted, I don't think he'd be able to have any more good attempts past 1 or maybe 3 attempts.
