THESE VLOGS ARE THE BEST!!!

[@kylebayes9100]

These are my favorite videos

[@lawrencesounddesign1862]

Also no, you are absolutely wrong, climbers will not get bored on these types of videos. I'll watch every one of them you make because I have learned SO much by watching the way you move and think through problems. Literally every boulder I try and fail on, "how would magnus do this?" then it becomes a question of "do I need to get stronger, or do I need to climb smarter?" Usually it's not a matter of "need more strong" (although clearly there's things I can't do yet, they're also above my grade range so I'm patient and training for it). Things inside my grade range can 99.9% be solved by "climb smarter" - and watching the way you use body dynamics, feet, center of gravity, flags, smears, etc all help. You've often said "I'm not a good coach" but you cannot discount the sheer volume of climbing you have shown the world. (Any parent can attest to this next bit!) People learn by example and watching you has helped me improve rapidly. Just by trying to emulate things you do, I have suddenly found that "wow that feels so natural" and now it's just part of how I climb.

I also just love to listen to Magnus casually talking to the camera (us) while trying/dominating all these cool boulders.

[@shadowzeus2]

yeah, the answer to the question, more technical boulders or more powerful boulders, I say more any boulders. It is good to see Magnus having fun getting a bit more back into climbing, even if the things like military fitness challenges are fun to watch. Watching Magnus climbing is definitely also helpful to my climbing journey. (Shirtless is better for learning too because then you can see things like braced core vs crunched, scapula extended or not, definitely not just because Magnus is buff ;)

[@lawrencesounddesign1862]

@@shadowzeus2Yes shirtless is definitely better! lol! Seriously though I agree with you, it lets us see what muscle groups he's engaging on different movements. I swear his muscles spontaneously grow more muscles on demand when he makes the most powerful moves!

[@Jepicus]

Pumped for the Toby collab. Please don't fall for the attention span meme, those people who can only watch shorts may exist, but they're a far smaller audience than they're made out to be, and generally just consumers indifferent to the form of content getting pushed on them. They're the same people who will watch, in its entirety, a 6 hour video essay of some random insignificant detail in a game or movie. No need to shift to either extreme, just make want you want. Gimmicks and novelty bring views and spice things up, but intimacy and personality are what separate every good channel/creator from every other one, and make you unique. I love Toby.

[@durabelle]

Yes! Both for Toby and for the attention span thing. Storror is actually a good example of a channel that still puts out lots of long videos that people love to watch. I do watch shorts too, but a lot of the time I watch videos while I'm eating or washing the dishes, so I specifically choose longer videos for those moments.

[@Gork862]

Answer to your question at ~ 4:15 I personally have a strong preference for seeing you climb technical stuff. Watching you do some crazy powerful move is cool and all, but not really useful or relatable. Seeing you work your way through something technical and difficult is way more fun than just seeing you be strong. Obviously you're really strong, but the technical work is more engaging to watch. Also, as you mention at 9:48 the algorithm definitely has changed. I know I'm only one viewer, but I think this format is worlds better than your more gimmicky or flashy content where you go undercover and stuff. I came here for strong climbing and a fun personality, and this kind of video is the best format for that. While I understand why you can't make tons of this style, but I appreciate that you still do it sometimes!

[@Kooczsi]

i feel like its very smart to only upload climbing vids/vlogs on this channel. This is because the viewerbase are all climbers which leads to a really high clickrate. And high clickrate means more exposure. What i'm trying to get at is that this type of content could work really well for the algo if he uses it more. Having a lot of different content on the same channel is also bad for algo

[@Uketiki]

to be completely honest: I really do not care what you are doing, as long as the videos have the right vibe to them. I watch these videos on my downtime because they are wholesome without being cheesy whatsoever. I really like the calm, sober and collected way you present the life of a grownup who has not forgotten to play around and have fun (which is exactly what got me hooked on bouldering) You might not notice this about yourself, but for me personally you fill the sweet spot for a youtube persona. Very easily approachable and likeable while not trying to build this annoying parasocial bond designed to trick me into thinking we are friends. While this might sound like it would provoke less engagement compared to the over-the-top above-and-beyond style that has become more common on youtube (i feel like), this little and very pleasing thing makes your channels fill just the niche I am proud to be a part of. 10 out of 10.

Not just climbing, every single video I've watched from your channel is just interesting and awesome. Another factor that's appealing in your videos is how humble you are, the way you talk to your fans and to other people, your way of being, it's just wholesome. Keep doing whatever you feel is right on your videos, I'm sure people will just love it

[@muley2828]

(Non-climber here): I think it’s cool if you include all of the boulders that you do, powerful or technical. This makes it fun and refreshing for me, as well as seeing the different sides to the sport. Also impressive to watch regardless…

[@alexbog3004]

Met Magnus recently in London and he is just as friendly as he is in his videos. Great to have these types of videos back!

[@timonix2]

I like the causal bouldering, talking to the camera about things style. It feels homey, and kinda like when I am at the gym myself. Sure I might have a session where I really dig down and project. But most of the time in the gym is spent on the ground talking to friends about unrelated topics.

[@lillygraygray4018]

To be honest, Magnus. I just enjoy watching you climb. I love the vibe, the music and watching someone enjoy something he or she does. So you do you! I'll probably enjoy it if you enjoy it as well. I'm going bouldering in an hour or so, and your climbing videos just hype me up.

[@Triggersplosion]

I don't have a preference for technical vs brute strength boulders, but there were some things I noticed on the last three: Black Boulder - Letting us hear your planned route beforehand was super interesting. I'd be curious to know why you are doing the moves you're doing. Could you do it a different way and it would just be harder? Is it preference? Yellow Boulder - Talking about how the certain grips wear out your skin, how do you assess what is the right way to do a climb? The was lots of weight shifting and foot movement on the last half. Why? I'm sure the simple answer is because otherwise you'd fall, and it's all about security. But like...do you NEED to do a toe hook? Would you fall if you didn't? Slab of the Week - You were talking about the way the slab is supposed to be done: I'm sure the route setter has a planned way in mind, but is there really a wrong way to do it, if you finish it? Let's say I'm really good at dinoing things and big dynamic movements (I'm not, but we can pretend) is it "wrong" to use that skill on every boulder? Or am I just potentially making it harder on myself? Maybe voiceover of what your thought process is while you're doing the boulders, or why you're switching grips/etc. Love these videos and glad to see them make a comeback!

[@Mr12jb]

[@stuartdoig3418]

Loved this video! I started watching not long ago, probably at the end of last year, and you were definitely the main reason I got into bouldering at 26. Now I go at least 1-2 times a week, and it's such an amazing physical hobby. I'm very excited to see the collab with PewDiePie. I used to watch him when I was a young teen, It kinda tapered off over the years, but I still catch up from time to time just because of his persona. I definitely have the same feeling towards these kind of videos on your second channel. Honestly, I'm not into the recent fast content you put on your main channel, which is why I had to catch up on a lot of your old videos. This one here felt like those old videos, and I enjoy watching it way more. I feel like it creates a more personal connection to you as a down-to-earth guy. Please continue doing them!

[@A.I.R.-Edits]

I really enjoy ether one technical or powerful really fun to see you try. I’ve heard you say that you don’t think we like to see you just fail and fail on one boulder but I really do enjoy it, mostly because the reality of it is that we are all mostly just failing so to see you adjust and eventually succeed it’s reallyyyy satisfying. 👍 thank you for the vids and don’t be afraid to just release a long vlog here and there like once a month more raw and not as edited would be nice( I’m currently in college and all my buddies usually look for long videos to have it in the background while studying and or just relaxing.

To answer the question about what kinds of boulders we like to watch: Having the variety of boulders to watch is really cool.
