Yeah, It was really cool to show Magnus my lovely Kotelna spot in Brno. Doing a mixture of modern and old school bouldering and enjoying some of the exciting physical challenges together. Stay tuned!

[@redpoin7]

This is the video I enjoyed the most of you ever. It seemed like you forgot the camera was there. You guys having fun together brought a smile to my face, made my fingertips sweat and motivated me to try hard as well.

[@stefanozanchi3219]

Dude, are you in my head? hahaha you just described everything that went through my mind watching this video

[@artems4]

same here! And finally, Magnus got a partner that he shouldn't be sorry in front of because of his superiority (it's something that often annoys me in many of his other videos). keep it up Magnus!

[@leoingson]

Thanks for wording my feelings. Nothing better than a friendly competition between beasts.

A good reference as to how hard he tries.

[@targeted1948]

I've been trying to get KZbinrs to do a hang challenge on a large diameter bar but Adam's bar at the end of the video is insanely hard because the diameter is so big.

[@laeamminlakana-matt5692]

Oh my god I love having a training partner like this. I mostly train solo but I've gotten to the point where I always call the same guy to be my "backup" if I'm stuck on a proj I feel I should be sending. He does the same though so I guess we're even

It is so cool to see Adam in a more real context with normal conversations with a climber. I mean, I like his Videos too, but you only see him in a interview situation or on the wall of course. He almost seems mortal here :)

[@chaosengine4597]

almost.

[@climbrR]

In before Adam starts actually training with Magnus and goes on to win every bouldering world cup he'll enter from then on.

[@tommeyer3871]

The fact that you could still keep up with Adam on many of these challenges is mind-boggling Also I find it very impressive that Adam is trying so insanely hard on everything even in training - power screams included ;D I begin to understand how he could become the insanely strong climber he is today. Only wish there were more gyms that still have spray walls like that for us mere mortals going to commercial gyms to set a few boulders of our own too

[@walterlotte4215]

Just that Adam did a lot more climbing before those challenges. But yeah, Magnus was one of the best during his competition phase aswell, and it still shows.

[@tommeyer3871]

@@walterlotte4215 but even during climbing he could keep up, not in terms of endurance sending these boulders repeatedly, but actually doing some moves before adam did - after all Magnus has never been a boulderer.

[@walterlotte4215]

It's always helpful to train with stronger people. Especially with a mindset like Magnus has.

And vica-versa. I dont think many people push Adam, but Magnus gave him a run for his money. "2nd best in this gym..." ;)

[@Lorenzo-Passerini]

A little tip from a classical guitar player for nails strength. You are much better off filing your nails rather than cutting them, you can use nail polish or even better nail hardener to avoid splitting your nails. I don't know why, but filing your nails, other than avoiding sharp corners that can cause them to snap, if you are diligent it will thicken them and make them endure much more flexing stress. :)

These videos with Adam Ondra are honestly starting to feel like some form of documentary, and I'm genuinely enjoying them because of it. They are really giving an insight into Ondra as a person, what he does and thinks. Maybe this is good to know and you could do similar videos with other climbers. You have such a massive platform now, but it still has such an open and personal feel. I feel like videos made by you would give such a more open and honest look at people than big documentaries would ever be able to achieve,

[@Dstryrrr]

Magnus, you should do a collab with Stefano, Jacob Schubert, all top climbers... this is your world. And I love all your amazing challenges but this climbing world... this is a place where you belong :) It was a pure joy to ser you again slaying these elite problems.

[@misterx2133]

Agreed!

[@leoingson]

Very good idea. This is where Magnus shine the most.

[@Daniele.Rossini]

I think Stefano would accept no problem! He is always in for that kind of stuff... also is crazy strong and has a similar body type and style as Magnus

I think Magnus could podium at world cups if he trained and wanted to do it. He’s that good still.

[@benoitbergeron8858]

That 5 second hanging was definitely impressive. Maybe he doesn't have the versatility of some competitive athletes, but he's a undoubtedly among the elite

[@Rycamcam]

Thank you Magnus for this truly amazing collab. Of course it was interesting to watch you and Adam doing all of these intense strength challenges, but just seeing you two interact was heartwarming. I suppose there aren't very many top tier climbers that have climbed since 2000 and 1999 like you and Adam, so I imagine that it made the connection between the two of you even more uniquely satisfying. Also, Magnus power scream. Life is now complete. 31:35

[@TheSpinfisherHD]

Man, Adam's rage when he's about to start on a boulder is just electrifying. You can feel the energy through the Screen, what a legend.

[@ooberholzer]

I started watching Magnus channel two weeks ago, went to a wall for the first time last friday. bought a little pair of shoes. I had no idea of the spirit of the climbers. And sur Adam looks completely paranormal... I never knew this kind of energy could flow in a person. It's crazy how inspiring all these performances and exchanges are. It's actually rocking my world, and i just came up with the joke myself, so thanks for not judging me ;-)

[@wurfttobias]

One of the best episodes ever in my opinion. It really showed how Adam and Magnus love to train hard and push their limits.

[@LukeRockCimber]

This is indescribably awesome! We need a follow up where Magnus just debriefs how he felt spending time with Adam.

The videos you two are making are so amazing. It's really seems like you are genuinely enjoying each other's company. And like Adam is more open than in any other piece of content I've seen. And it's absolutely insane to see how well you're keeping up with him. This is my favourite content on your channel in a very long time - maybe even ever! Seems some genuine, and I've been literally laughing out loud during both this and the previous video with Adam.

[@Ryuouken]

So happy this collab worked out, you know, when something is long anitcipated the pressure is high and then it's hit or miss. This is definitely a massive hit! We knew that Magnus can go along with anybody but it's such a big relief that Adam is clearly having a lot of fun that makes everything so smooth.

One of my favorite moments in Adam's silence video is where he's horizontally campusing those horrible slopers and I show it to everyone I can when I'm describing how nuts Adam is. Magnus holding those for 5 seconds really shows how strong he is. Awesome video, looking forward to the next one

[@BennyhVids]

@@leoingson Ah! I don't think he does any horizontal campusing on the actual route, just in the gym. He did, however, say that all his training was targeting specific moves on the route. Perhaps the horizontal campusing was training for the moves he he does around 11:15 in the video?

[@modest1989]

It's insane. It's literally every single part of their body from their toes to finger tips. No other sport that I can think off the top demands what this one does. They have to have wild endurance plus the ability to create explosive movement out of nothing. Impressive is the right description.
