Magnus has kind of a Bruce Lee thing a lot of the time. "If I say that I'm the best probably you will say that I am boasting. But if I say I'm no good then you'll know I'm lying." He knows he's a world class climber, but also that a lot of people have surpassed him since he stopped competing.

[@joeyebeling7681]

I learned so much in this video. Thanks for going over the basic Technics of crack climbing

[@Ikantra]

Pete seems to have a lot more distance to the cracks than you have Magnus (straight arms, and slightly elongated legs), while at least for the first crack, you did most of it with slight bend in your elbow and legs a lot closer to your body. While having shorter distance to the wall is usually a good thing, the technique that Pete uses, seems to lead to less explosive moves and conservation of some energy. Then again Pete could simply be very good and i am seeing things that isn't there.

[@Alex-sl4zp]

Pete climbs in a more relaxed manner because his jams are way stronger/more secure than Magnus's.

[@Alkalite]

@@Alex-sl4zp Exactly what I was thinking. Pete's wedges are just way better.
