[@Killer4451000able]

You can climb up to 2 grades higher if magnus stands behind you and screams "camaan". Thats scientifically proven.

[@andrewschall5599]

Scientifically!!!

[@TheValinov]

[@madmonk4214]

if he stands there shirtless, some of his godlike powers might rub off on you and make you climb 4 grades higher.

[@arasharans2864]

😂😂😂👍🏼

[@ronaldinho10pro97]

The fact that he says “I want to try it so they could see how difficult it is” shows respect and wholesome

[@rishabhanand4973]

it definitely helps. Even though I know magnus is a pro, it is sometimes tough to see how hard something is when he just breezes through it without any issue. Seeing rockentry, who is a way better climber than I am struggle with something magnus breezes through really puts it into perspective.

[@JoshDoes]

[@pheadrus1999]

For those not climbing in NYC, GP81 is highly praised for several reasons. Firstly, it's a community-driven gym, so the routes are often set up by regulars and others climbers. That aspect makes the environment totally different than other gyms. Other than that, most of the expert boulderers in NYC go to GP81 due to its technical difficulty. If you're looking for challenging, technical climbs GP81 is the place to go.

[@rockentry]

[@bonyphi12]

Leo Santoprete never felt like mine would get stuck!

[@maxfern5701]

@Leo Santoprete My understanding is you have to push strong with your hand to keep it jammed there. So if you fall and instantly release the pressure you can't really get stuck.

[@joshwaterman5526]

Max Fern yes the only way you would get stuck is if your hand jammed but if your hand is Jammed then your not going to fall off anyways so it doesn’t matter. Maybe if you twisted it weird and went quick a certain direction but that would be rare.

[@bytesizedkidgamer]

You'd have to be experienced to do that, so injuries would be quite rare as the people doing it know what they're doigg

[@anorangewithadvil]

Love having people like rockentry collaberating because it's awesome seeing climbers climbing grades that Id have a chance at climbing. Plus it really shows how much improvement we all can achieve when seeing how strong some climbers like Magnus are.

[@flecks_piano]

rockentry is pretty damn strong as well though. He's being really humble about his capacity here, probably mainly because he's climbing with the badass that Magnus is x)

Magnus, this is the highest rated gym, because it's where a lot of serious boulders congregate. Glad you did a video of it!

[@delopizza]

I love this kind of collab videos. It really makes you understand what an ungodly beast Magnus (or any pro climbing level athlete) is compared to any of us average climbers. I feel rockentry's hype, it's contagious!

In the future would you include other peoples reactions to your climbing?! Regardless of your humbleness it is always so fun seeing just how amazed people are in person, everyone watching on youtube have the same faces im sure but that would be an awesome addition.

Mister Midtbø and his cool videos is what gives me the most relaxed feeling after been to the gym and doing heavy deadlifts. I am not a climber - I can barely walk normal on a straight road... But to watch climbing gives me inner peace and calm amusement. Five stars for Midtbø and his style, calm dry Norwegian humor - and for his willpower and hunger to manage and get things done. Never boasting - more focused on achieving, try, try and making it without faking it! The Norse is also really good at saluting other people. For sure one of the finest athletes from Norway - tusen takk! Inspiring, cool, smart, focused, laid back, strong - with big love to manage and get stuff done. Applause and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@henrymelon8781]

I really liked this one. When you have 2 people that love what they do, it creates such a good atmosphere. Pretty inspiring to see Oswaldos' approach to the sport too, looks like very healthy content especially for climbers that don't climb from childhood. And Magnus crushing it as always, footwork like a tick on that 8a haha, and generally camera and editing of this one is superb. Respect! 💪

Back then the skill and your personality was there, but right now your camerawork (props to rockentry too), editing and music are top notch as well. You're easily my favourite climbing youtuber. You make me want to climb. Sucks that right now with the lockdown we can't. In all probability, it's going to be a while. I hope I get to climb vicariously through your videos in the meantime.
