Thanks to everyone involved. Jerry and I had a fantastic few days hosting and climbing with Magnus and Adam and it was great showing them around our old training haunts. The highpoint had to be seeing them on my Minus 10 classic the Megatron Turbo. Whoever would have thought! Nice one guys.

I love how humble Magnus is, despite being one of the best climbers in the world. Seeing him flash a boulder problem that Adam couldn't flash makes you understand how good Magnus actually is. Awesome video!

[@ChauNyan]

Yeah, there's some advantages that Magnus has over Adam.

[@aaronkeane2336]

That problem kinda suited a smaller climber. You could see the first moves were awkward for Adam, but yeah take nothing away from Magnus he's still a freak.

[@PuntTheDog]

not to be "that guy" but magnus is not one of the best climbers in the world. he himself would readily admit that, i'm fairly certain. don't get me wrong. he's stronger than i could ever dream of being, and he's definitely in the top 99th percentile.... but when you are talking about millions (over ~25 million according to some estimates?) of climbers worldwide, being in the top 99th percentile, or even 99.9th percentile, doesn't make you one of the best. i mean just think about how many olympic climbers alone there are. and then you factor in how some of the strongest climbers to have ever lived aren't even competing these days... jimmy webb, daniel woods, nalle, shawn, etc... edit: LMAO i seem to have really upset all the salty gymbros who think they know everything because they watched a few youtube videos and started bouldering 3 months ago and just climbed their first v3. it's ok you guys can keep telling me why i'm wrong. i know you are wrong. and you know what's hilarious? i bet even magnus knows you are all wrong. and it wouldn't be out of a false sense of humility, it's because i'm sure even magnus himself knows just how good people are these days. there are people NONE OF YOU HAVE EVEN HEARD OF who are stronger climbers than magnus. and if you disagree with me, perhaps you should just take a minute and educate yourself on the world of climbing. it's a lot bigger than magnus' youtube channel.

[@Finn.noOffcial]

He's a monster on pinches but he doesn't really project hard climbs. I would love to see him on the grand illusion I feel like he would crush it.

I haven't seen you so focused Magnus. I just loved this video. Maybe the best one ever.

[@starlitshadows]

I could easily watch a full hour or more of this. The vibe in this room alone. Learning some of the history and seeing you guys all climb together was incredible to watch. I found your channel about a month ago and I've watched a bunch of your videos. This is one of your best. A series like this with legendary climbers past and present at legendary spots would be amazing. Also, you got me back bouldering for the first time in 10 years this week and brought my little bro with me and he loved it. Appreciate it man, definitely one of my favorite channels on KZbin now.

[@rosaschreiber2605]

This is clearly one of your best videos ever. I always loved the way you interact with others but really think that you came to a new high over the last videos. You always strive to let the others look good and are always very respectful to them even in the undercover climbing ones you always let the instructors look good. Love it all. And you are still a hell of a climber.

[@AllTorque]

A bit emotional watching this one. Last video I watched was your other Sheffield video and at the time I mentioned we were close by as my mum was in hospital in Yorkshire. Unfortunately she passed away on the 10th of February. She was really proud of my daughter who has just turned 7 and started climbing. She has been climbing a few months now and we usually watch your videos and Adam's videos together. We went climbing tonight in the northeast of the UK and she spent a lot of time talking about her Nanna. It's been a really emotional month but climbing helps her focus and talking helps her process the emotions. Watching videos together during mums illness was a big help for us both and gave us a lot of support. If you come back to the UK it would be brilliant if she could meet you both. I sent a message on Insta but appreciate you will get thousands. Thanks for another amazing video and this was probably one of my favourites to date. It felt very authentic and real. All fantastic guys and all inspirational. Thanks again

I mean we all know that Magnus is strong, but the fact that he can still flash boulders that Adam fails to flash is just insane. Adam is the pretty much undisputed nr 1 of our generation and Magnus can still hang with him!

[@noone-ld7pt]

@@tomriddle2257 I don't know why you'd think I was talking about age but I guess I can clarify if it was confusing. I meant that Magnus retired from competition climbing 6 years ago, and hasn't really been focusing on hard climbing since then. Sure he does a lot of general climbing content, but he doesn't really push himself by projecting really hard routes/boulders. Simultaneously he also does a lot of other wierd fitness stuff that should be to the detriment of his climbing ability. On the other hand, Adam has climbed more than 20 V15 or harder boulders and has topped more 9b+ routes then any other climber in history, three of them in the last few years and the last one just a few months ago. So he is obviously at the absolute peak of human climbing ability. Given all that, the fact that Magnus can still climb at a comparable level and even outperform Adam on some problems is astounding. Hope that clears it up.

[@aalennox]

This is an amazing segment! The old footage of Ben and Jerry is from the "The Real Thing", a revolutionary video that completely flipped the script of what a climbing film looked and sounded like. It was the first climbing film that showed us the personalities of the climbers and gave a glimpse into their lifestyles . That coupled with a techno/house club music soundtrack made it look and sound like nothing that had been available before. It was not just another "RAD" action film, it was relatable to a new generation of climbers and set the tone for many films that followed.

[@AirborneLRRP]

The more I learn about the history of climbing, the more similarities to skateboarding there are. Amazing.

When I started climbing I became decent fast because I went climbing with people who are way better at climbing than I am. With pros it's the same you can't improve if there are no people around your level or stronger around you. That's the reason there are training centers for the best in most sports and countries.

Ondra is probably still the best overall, but if you combined Bouin with Robetou, that hybrid would be the best today.

[@sebastientardivel8179]

Ondra is a new generation climber. He's born with gyms, training tools, training programs and some milestones to achieve or to beat. In former times when Moon, Moffatt or Güllich climbed, there was nothing. They had to create everything. Moon and Moffatt built the Fondry in Sheffield, Güllich the campus board and they tried new routines without any idea of what they will lead us. Even the spirit was different: back in the 80s it wasn't well accepted to "work" a route: to work a move from the point you fell. When you fell, you had to start again from the ground. It's not to depreciate Adam Ondra who is a monster and the best climber of the world. But you can't compare climbers from different times. Climbers like Moffat, Moon, Güllich, Edlinger are just pioneers.

This one really is for the climbing nerds, thank you so much for the video, excellent work! Nice casual flash of the historic board problem too haha

[@Jett125]

This is my favourite climbing vid ever. What an epic bit of film!

[@Wpbcj]

I love how he got the og climbers from back then. I get such a good feeling seeing them talk about how it was back then. great video,

[@tamaragrottker7677]

Fabulous video! Great climbers gathered together for good fun. As a 60 year old the thrill of climbing never goes away! Thank you for this post.

[@gastontorres2432]

Just started and I'm already delighted with the video. Thanks for the content Maguns. I just completed two months climbing and I'm already addicted to bouldering and your videos. Greetings from Mexico!

[@MaJnuN619]

Ben and Jerry should seriously consider opening an ice cream shop together

[@5rings]

This was such a good video, I was grinning like a nutter throughout! It was so nice to see such a strong and prestigious group of climbers in the same room having fun and showing everyone what climbing is all about!

[@corygrossman1]

The balance of confidence, heckling, humility and encouragement is unbelievable with this group of climbers. Absolutely beautiful humans

[@leosives]

This was a climbing session an history class!! amazing idea to get them together!!! i fell this more like a documentary than a simple youtube video!! was not expecting this amazing doc today!!! don't stop magnus!! we want more!!!!

[@Alyssa684]

Loved this! The filmography, combination of old footage, the banter. Amazing!

[@theinterruptingturtle30]

This content is freaking incredible! Inspirational, nostalgic, so well edited. I think it's time for Magnus to start his own production company!

[@mikeevans4981]

magnus, i am not sure that you will see this but i have been watching you on and off for a while. i climbed in college and i am trying to get back into it. coming back to your videos have light a new spark in me, so thank you. i look forward to more of your videos. keep killing it

[@tornadoswe]

Watching my two favorite climbers colab is allways so fun. The fact that both of you are simultaneously humble and competitive is great.

[@chance6952]

Probably one of my favorite videos from Magnus. Really like the older clips added in.

[@xSwitchB1ade]

This was such a special video. I can just imagine that in 20 years time there will be two new top climbers (maybe one of them is theo blass?) filming a similar video with some of the legends of the past, and it could be you and Adam in Jerry & Ben's shoes. It's beautiful, and so special.

[@cospittner3526]

This video was legendary. Thank you so much for putting this together.

[@Leo-ge7qy]

Just imagine Güllich beeing still around and with this group. When they say they were the best there is a bit of an asterisk next to that

[@kbearl]

As someone who just started watching your videos and really had no idea who everyone else is, I really enjoyed this and echo other people's comments of the level of respect and encouragement is so wholesome.

[@vasilysidorenko8821]

Ben moon still so strong, you can see the bit of pain he has not being where he used to be. Massive respect, the Ben moon v5 benchmarks are hard as hell.

[@garconrouge9099]

Ben Moon, at 56 years old, is an inspiration for us 40 something climbers who are careening quickly towards our 50s. Something magical about this video and how it kind of blurs time and magnifies what a magical sport climbing is.

[@PelleKuipers]

Dude he is 56! I thought he was 50 at most. Incredible that he's still climbing at that high of a level. What a discipline that man has.

[@ekaterinakhadonova9457]

This is incredible. As a relative novice to climbing, having only gone a year or so of consistent training, I love learning more and more about this sport through your channel. Those videos feel like the most genuine look inside some of the climbing history and the spirit that drives some of the best athletes in the world. Truly epic. Keep up this amazing work! I am now absolutely addicted to your content (also, great production quality)!

[@bazsito]

Hey guys, this one was awesome, thank you for it. It was great and an exciting moment to see you on that wall!
