I wanna see a vid of magnus tryna discover a route, i wonder what that process is like of finding these locations that become so legendary and well known

[@JoeJoe-wv6de]

That would be interesting 👍

[@Reesespcz541]

Iirc, Magnus found Silence.

[@saulsarry]

​​@@Reesespcz541 I think he bolted Nordic Flower which is the first part of the route. Climbing started in the cave since the 90s

[@boogaloo4640]

@@saulsarry Nordic Flower was bolted by Laurence Laporte but Magnus was there at the time

[@ShakespeareanBroncobuster]

He did some of that when he was younger. He helped bolt and open routes in Flatanger. He also found and got the FA on one of the harder boulders in Europe at one time. KZbin wasn’t something he did in those days. It wasn’t a huge platform anyway at that point. He did that kinda stuff, and we didn’t get to see that process. Kinda sucks. He’s probably past those days now.

“That was the scariest route I’ve done…” - thinks back to free soloing with Alex - “… in a while”

[@danielsalter4649]

LOL

[@rawspace1212]

Alex is on another level. Thirsty for fear

[@heimdall4148]

that was exactly my thought process lol

[@ProfessorZamii]

Different when death is the only exit plan LOL

[@Heartiee1]

For being so incredibly confident so often, I really appreciate the humility & vulnerability it took to show that you were scared and doubting yourself on that last climb. Thanks for doing what you do, been a fan for many years!

12:00 they almost did right there.

[@cyborgraptor1778]

@@oskarwow He says "fishes" and both "fish" and "fishes" are acceptable plural forms. "Fishes" does more often refer to more than one species of fish, which would be correct since there are indeed multiple species in the ocean.

[@theastrochemist]

Idk why, but as a longtime viewer, I love that Markus still works with you. I remember old videos where he would climb sometimes, and I'm glad he's still around.

[@FirstnameLastname-yh5fb]

True! I hope he does a second channel video just climbing or coaching markus if he still climbs

[@baa9223]

The row boat approach makes the route 💯 times better

[@MR-MR-ud5oo]

All that was needed was a bright yellow inflatable life preserver.

[@ChargleCheeze-eu5xu]

I’m ten and I just got my first v4 and I love watching your videos with my dad you also helped us get better at climbing so thank you and please keep making videos ❤

[@Ryzawa]

Been a while since we saw him, always love having reoccurring characters, would be nice to have Anton on again some day.

[@aarsklomp]

A new video with pete would also be nice

[@Ryzawa]

@@aarsklomp Yeah Pete's always a blast to have on the channel!

[@thomasbecker9676]

Well, Anton has returned from his secret mission...

[@ReneVandermerwe-r6b]

Or Adam Ondra... I think

[@Ryzawa]

@@ReneVandermerwe-r6b I like him but he's been on the channel much more recently than Anton in comparison, which is why I mentioned Anton.

[@capedkat]

Getting from the boat on the wall seems like a challenge on its own. Great job Magnus and Sondre! I applaud you both!

[@HourRomanticist]

I am LOVING all the outdoor content the last year.

[@eliasgermer8762]

Hearing Magnus' evil laugh when the viking falls into the water brings a smile to my face.

[@yilangroenenboom1117]

It's fun to see Magnus being entertained for a change

[@carpefuego]

The sincere, interview-type takes between climbing are well done... style-wise, content-wise, and tone... Keeps it charmingly personal, and more story-like, particularly when couched in the quiet, effortful stretches of climbing, the sound of the climber's breathing and details from the beautiful b-roll **chef's kiss** Quite engaging!! Glad the algorithm suggested this channel. Bravo.

[@helenemalenfant5435]

From Canada and, I must say, much of the landscape is familiar to some areas here in the mid area of Ontario. I’m from the far North where it’s much flatter and mostly evergreens and ‘bog’ and winter is almost 10 months of the year! My niece visited twice after her Norwegian boyfriend Einar returned home (he spent a semester at her university when they were both undergrads and they both stayed with us for the summer before he returned home). She loved the country, the people and definitely saw parallels with Northern Canada.

[@mats-5970]

Yeah its very similar, I also think the poeple are kind of similar, love the outdoors and laid back

[@grantclarkson9184]

Yes very similar, except your more likely to see people jumping rather than climbing.

[@ReneVandermerwe-r6b]

After spending the weekend in jail this was just the type of relaxation I needed to chill. Thanks Magnus.

[@tornade5000]

I find that these outdoor videos with more “stress” involved are really your best content.

[@prebzki]

I saw Sondre in Fagernes on sunday. What a cool guy! Really great video Magnus and some good climbing from Sondre! I love this duo

[@justboy77]

The Opera ad was so unexpected I had to watch it haha. Never saw someone being sponsored by chrome or firefox

[@ralphcartwright8833]

I like the action camera footage with the falls into the water. I also like the audio even in the drone shots.

[@Alex.Ost.2001]

That landscape is so beautiful!

[@tomislavivankovic6971]

you guy are great inspiration. Thanks a lot for your effort/ fun time shooting this videos! Greetings from Croatia!

[@joshgreen19]

Love these videos, and I do appreciate the many camera angles, but sometimes it does make me want a stable cut on the side so we can watch the whole thing continuously

[@whosashleyg]

Thank you Magnusfor posting a deep water climbing video on the main page. I love the content!

[@Maaario.]

This Video is a vibe, just climbing, a beautiful location and the happiness from both, this makes me so happy to watch :)

[@АмальФарук-в6д]

Magnus is hilarious in the boat

[@1Joren]

As someone who's tried deep water solo for the first time this summer in Mallorca, 16m-20m is seriously scary. I was already scared shitless on anything that went to 10m or higher... having really hard moves on >14m sounds so damn sketchy to me, I took a few 8m falls and those already weren't very pleasant if I didn't land perfectly. Try deep water solo on the heights that I did, and you'll probably find this video even crazier / more impressive than you already do.

[@gabwittick3956]

I was laughing so hard when he was like “you said it would be less terrifying from below” and magnus is just like yeah this is less terrifying

[@pabslabspabslabs4589]

Love these outdoor videos, for me 100% more interesting than indoor climbing walls.

[@chonkycatcankles2643]

I love seeing your climbing videos so much, where i live climbing is basically not a thing, there’s no places nearby to go or anything climbing is just not a part of where i live, i wish i could live there and be around climbing because i love it

[@SillySausageShow]

I love the new outdoor videos AND can we please please get more of those old style ones with just you, no collab, just late at night at your home gym bouldering. Edit: just found the more magnus channel with some videos like that. The videos there are really cool and laid back you guys should check them out

Yes, this! He's not old man Liam Neeson jumping a fence. Show the continuous movement from start to finish. Honestly, I'd be more interested if he just posted his climbs in their entirety from a single camera.
