Seeing Magnus chalk up every 12 seconds is the only thing that keeps me motivated during the pandemic!

[@Ryuouken]

Its almost tempting to buy chalk just to be able to chalk up att home

[@DanteYewToob]

Sometimes I wonder how much chalk he has wasted by chalking up extra heavy and then just clapping and brushing the excess off. It doesn’t seem like a lot, but I bet if you collected it all up over a few years it would be entire chalk bags full... More, even! I’d say he probably wastes about half of all the chalk he buys…

[@jordancataldo]

Wait are Magnus and I the only two that rechalk after the second move? I mean more chalk = more power. It's Science.

[@cinerati0n]

If the chalk comes off you gotta put it back on. There always seem to be particular holds that just soak up the chalk

[@ikillufrfree]

that mma fighter mentality. doesnt matter the problem, i got this

[@burritodog3634]

and it never is

[@andrewshaw6243]

Magnus always underestimates the difficulty. He’s like “you guys should be able to do this”, after flying through it. Both of them couldn’t do it😂

[@DanteYewToob]

I think because Magnus is a bit less polished and more freestyle than most climbers of his caliber, he tends to vastly underestimate the level of technique involved. He knows his friends are strong physically, and he kind of assumes that should be enough. I guess once you do something until it’s easy for you, you start to forget how hard it was to get to that point. For Magnus it’s all just automatic muscle memory, common sense and unexplainable intuition that gets him through, and if he can’t verbalize what makes it hard, he assumes it must just be strength and grit… That’s just classic Magnus underestimating himself, and devaluing how absolutely beastly he actually is.

[@spjr99]

i would say when you are very good at something for a long time, there are certain aspects of the skill that you take as intuitive that others are not even close to considering on their own. thats why I think some of these guys smash the more physical bits, if they are strong and struggle on the technical stuff unless they are a gymnast or some other profession. Also when you are only doing hard routes, a lot of the routes will seem easy no matter how hard they are to the average person

[@guglielmoscecspir1053]

Grip is simply something you don't get unless you train it specifically, no matter what kind of sport you do. This is the biggest overlook he has. When I saw the inclined blue 6 I thought ''there is no way they will do it''. On top of that, the MMA guy is way too heavy to perform well especially since a lot and I mean a lot of his weight is also on his legs which lead you to swing like a flag for most of the movements.

[@pajamaboy5829]

Magnus talking about feeling "out of tune" is super relatable, actually. I hate taking time off just to come back and feel like a newborn giraffe with no body control. The difference is he still makes it look effortless. Great vid, Magnus!

[@jana31415]

meanwhile i return to the climbibg gym after 4 months and climb a grade higher than before

[@joshuarosen6242]

I remember the very first time I went climbing with a friend. I've always been a bit scared of heights and it's surprising how well you can grip when you're scared. By the time we finished about an hour later my weedy forearms looked like Popeye's from all the lactic acid. I had heard about climbers' forearms getting pumped but I'd never realised what it felt like. My forearms felt rock hard.

[@bluesummerrain]

Music editing was great today, and subverted my expectations into thinking Magnus was going to get to the top and then didn’t. Loved it. Thanks for yet another great video! Can also confirm that Odin’s channel, even without the subtitles is also fun. I watched one where he learns women’s gymnastics the other day, and just enjoyed the Norwegian (which I definitely don’t speak!).

"It's like a nipple, milk it." Odin has some jokes, I love it. These collaborations are great to watch because of the comradery and different professions.

[@swissard68]

Awesome video Magnus. I felt you explained more in this one and even for me as rookie climber it was great to understand how you think when you try something and it doesn’t work, how you figure out the other ways and so on.

Very nice to see Andreas again, also the chemistry between the three is wonderful

[@susanjane4784]

Wow. I made the 5% Magnus Club! The thing is Magnus is fun to watch climb, he's powerful and careful. The explosive speed climbers, as well as the 9c stars, are about swearing, falling, screaming, and maybe we actually get to see hands-on the rock or gym holds. I also love these vids with people from different sports --- especially when Magnus and these others talk about what works, how it feels, what went wrong, even the fear, and how they're going to be sore tomorrow. And, kudos to the various people who film for Magnus and everyone who edits.

Actually pretty impressive that they do 6b or even higher boulders, considering they don't climb a lot.
