I love that Pete has become such a fixture that he's just randomly the camera man at the start of a video. Really love seeing him

[@dave_h_8742]

He's done a skill Share course don't you know 😁

[@sp10sn]

Pete is such a solid individual. I subscribe to any channel where he shows up. Dude crush, I suppose.

[@shirleyw8720]

I love Pete and Magnus 👍❤️

[@WideBoyz]

Congrats on the new gym Magnus! Always a pleasure to make some vids together. Looking forward to the next two releases 💪

[@MPHshoots]

Howdy Pete

[@dave_h_8742]

So are we my old sausage.

[@MichaelDuke1]

How's the knee Pete

[@gamegreg]

Heckin love the synergy between you and Pete! The combo of Wide Boys and Magnus is the ultimate KZbin Climbing source

[@Pedigru]

I love Pete. He is a different breed of man. Imagine "living" under a bridge for 4 days just hanging out.

[@riken1829]

Hearing you talk about competitions: It would really be cool if you could go to a worldcup and try them maybe the day after or so, just trying the route itself before it gets taken down again but not competing. (Also would be a good opportunity to make a collab with some of the big guys that currently compete)

[@Jagknorr]

Either collab with the competitors OR the route setters! That would be very cool too!

[@aspuzling]

This would be amazing. If anyone can pull it off it should be Magnus.

[@zacwalclimbs8112]

Very cool idea, and agreed if there's anyone that could pull this off it's definitely Magnus. Make it happen, Magnus!

[@benharrington1652]

Fantastic video idea I think this might just end up happening

[@Mariofockinggalaxy]

Really good to see the side-by-side. I liked seeing your thought process and execution together.

[@TheTobyrobot]

That side to side action at 10:02 was cool! Explaining on one side the plan and then have the execution exactly at the same time on the other side! Really creative, great video!

[@Mefaso09]

Yeah i was just going to comment that as well, really cool

[@clementsartoni]

Yep, loved it too

[@muffinfan2652]

@@Mefaso09 Yup same, I'm glad others found this mesmerising as well

[@08Shade80]

Wow Magnus you're really outdoing yourself. The production value is insane! So much cool editing and it all made the video more enjoyable and interesting. You're really getting better and better

[@willhume9360]

Couldn't agree more

[@dave_h_8742]

Yes his camera gear, lenses, filming and editing are totally professional.

[@Ziethian]

not to mention the phat beats. sheeesh

[@devonjacobpodcast]

You could see Magnus’s eyes light up when Pete suggested they do it comp style. These guys are a fun pair to watch.

[@johnpap675]

Pete is such a bright person,everyone loves him!.

[@atomicshakespeare4924]

Hello again, Magnus! It Is I, Your Atomic Shakespeare, writing to you yet again on one of your older videos, simply to give you my loving affection in words so that I may continue watching you perform feats of incredible strength. I love everything the Algorithm throws at me, which is how I've been able to watch more of your Collaborations with other climbers/people who want to train with you. I just wanted to give you some love to show that at least ONE PERSON still prefers those long-form content videos you've put out over the years. Loving you and your contrbt ever since that first video, -- Sarah The Atomic Shakespeare ✨️🎉

[@justinkays6586]

Me and my girlfriend watch you videos religiously. We stop everything to sitdown and watch 😂 so happy for you on opening another gym keep it up!

[@daanbergers6348]

Really happy that the lack of toilet content is now finally being compensated!

[@ohayuhanna]

Seeing Magnus just simply walk on those volumes after taking the shoes half off was amazing.

[@trinityj1]

Casual stroll.

[@cheesy9614]

Hey there is a big fitness challenge in YT Germany going around to do 1000 pull ups in 1h (or max. pull ups in 1h) the current record is 704 as far as i know. I would love you or other professional climbers maybe try and beat it! It will definitly do for a good challenge and video! (Challenge was set by Kai Pflaume & Sasha Huber)

[@itisinternet1282]

I love gyms like this that are perfect at entertaining both kids, lower level climbers, and upper level climbers. Good job!

[@kvespen]

i love how kind you are magnus, bringing random dudes in from the streets wearing nothing but boxsershorts and a old t-shirt whit fists on it, and it turns out he is a great climber.. hope u gave him a meal after that work out :P

[@kavali6320]

Team Magnus - Pete is the best! Chemistry is just perfect, their talks in between climbs always interesting. Seeing them doing the hardest boulders with obvious fun is so encouraging. Thanks ;)

[@Landolini]

21:21 Magnus world cup comeback in open shoes would be epic. Amazing new gym as well! Wishing you all the best.

[@studious0782]

I love how "Magnus" is a difficulty level

[@biker_2124]

Hi Magnus, in German-speaking countries, the pull-up ("Klimmzug") challenge is the order of the day. as many pull ups as possible in 1 hour. I think that would be something for you.😉

[@carrdesch9534]

You and Pete are absolutely hilarious together, I must say! Great content, keep it up, Magnus.

[@lolomat212]

Seeing Magnus compete once in my life would be a tiny dream come true. I absolutely respect his decision not to do it, but i can't help wishing that he would. ^^

[@ianwesterhoff7529]

So fun to see people so elite but so casual and just vibe

[@stanislawkowalski6616]

3:47 i just love the thing that there are boulders hard,harder and Magnus

[@1012rwang]

It's so fun to see your climbing journey come full circle from growing up in the Bergen gyms to now opening a gym in your hometown! Congratulations on fulfilling your dreams and keep up the good work!

[@MrDdog678]

every video he's just teasing his comeback to comps, even if he doesn't it's such an exciting thought. Would settle for magnus being a route tester before the comp

[@NickPilmeyer]

Hey Magnus, just wanted to say that a friend shouldn't get mad if you don't cheer them on, kinda little bit toxic. You can always ask of course, like:"hey I do better when someone cheers me on, so would be nice if you can do that for me". But totally uncalled for to get mad about. You don't owe anybody anything. The gym looks cool! Much love

[@t4iga121]

Love your editing, you've recently been leveling up even more. The side by sides are really cool. I esepcially like the one with you explaining your gameplan and the execution side by side. It is probably a combinaation of the lighting and the new holds but the color grading is also so fun. I love the poppy look of the holds on the wall

[@TheStupidcomment]

As soon as a new Magnus video drops my whole village stops whatever they are doing and runs down to the community centre where a large projector is setup. Afterwards there is tea and scones.

[@MrbeanGaming]

NEW VIDEOOOOO, come to trondheim when the new gym is coming out, its said that it will be the biggest bouldering gym in Norway hehe

[@carsonzaremski]

I love that side by side shot of magnus explaining what he’s gonna do and doing it on the right

[@colehibbard2851]

Love how the rating system goes Difficult-Hard-Harder-Magnus 😂

[@Hooglander]

10:03 Quite impressive Magnus can explain and climb the route in about the same speed!

[@michaelhultstrom]

"You can even be two in here, if you have a real good friend."

[@RealSalica]

It looks amazing ! I wish you a lot of success ! The "Magnus" difficulty is a nice touch 😊 And yes , I already watched the video o Pete's channel .

[@burnsbabe87]

I also laughed at the "Magnus" level on the difficulty scale.

[@willjohnson472]

"Jamming pays off." Classic. Love these two - so great.

[@Athvia]

In my head, Magnus and Pete are married

[@jacktrussler20]

14:44 jeez, watching this the second time round much after its release, I noticed this again, really gives you an idea how hard he is actually pulling

[@thejadenlp1]

The split screen when magnus is reading the route was amazing

[@garretthorner]

I for one would love to see Meatball Man in a modern climbing comp. Imagine the content, Magnus! So much potential

[@pellevonk7823]

I would love to see you having a climbing comeback and i think you could get really far.

[@Daz555Daz]

Well thanks to Magnus I'm now a 50 yr old beginner climber (bouldering only right now) with sore hands and sore biceps. Had my 6th visit to the gym today after starting a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loving it. I needed a new sport to replace football (soccer) as at my age playing it was just doing me more harm than good. I think climbing is IT.......hopefully. Obviously too soon to call but what's great is my kids both enjoy climbing too.

[@williamwalker4494]

Ready to try out your new gym this weekend. 💪🇬🇧 Ok. After an hour and a half section of full on forearm pumping climbing of both the auto belays and the bouldering area, and can say that I have done your new gym. Excellent climbing problems and yes it makes a difference that you painted the back wall. ( Unlike your local competitor). Love that the problems you have set are marked, Magnus... Gives that extra challenge. Little niggel, no lockers and if someone is in the shower and locks the door, then there is no changing room! However, a big fan of you and Pete and will recommend your gym.😃

[@seeburst]

Love the collabs with Pete. And yeass! Please compete again, even just for fun. I would love to see you on one of the ifsc’s and go up against all those ‘new schoolers’, bet you can show ‘m how it’s done 🤪. Like walking up those black volumes like a mountain 🐐. Anyways thanks again for a cool vid and congrats on the new Gym, looks ace!

[@AmandaRogersarock1988]

Congratulations on all of your hard work, Magnus! Always looking forward to your content!

[@jonaskrivanek2017]

That Boulder gym is so cool and look very nice👍👍😍😍

[@Rondoteh]

Just the right moment to upload, didn't have anything to watch on YT ! Thanks Magnus :)

[@derotanim7879]

My god Magnus this video is amazing. The upgrade in editing and music is fantastic - really loving where this channel is heading.

[@anoopshekar5661]

0:41 Look at his fingers, Magnus is always climbing

[@jonathanwise47]

Great to see your new gym. Lots of success to you!

[@alexbarcovsky4319]

0:50 yeah, pretty standard in friggin Norway. Here in Slovakia and Czech Republic I have never seen a Kilterboard. A moonboard is pretty much rarer than a diamond in minecraft as well.

[@nicolaib2984]

It's has been awesome to see the chanel grow from 50k subs to over 1 million

[@StephanGanoff]

So excited to see Magnus compete again! It would increase the views of the competition enormously, actually much more people watch this channel than the competitions... And for sure the training and preparing videos will be bomb!

[@alistairclark6814]

Congratulations! Keep up the phenomenal work!!

[@ria_adventures]

Sick climbing gym, congrats Magnus! I always enjoy your collabs with Pete and can wait to watch the next videos! Cheers 😊

[@dalemark45]

Been watching a bunch of Wide Boyz lately (including the documentary), so it was nice to see Pete pop up in this one randomly!

[@mintraniz6694]

The editing is superb!

[@RockHime]

Congratulations on the new gym, Magnus! Went there on Wednesday with my sister and we both had a really great time.

[@meganwong9508]

Great video! I really enjoyed the side by side vids, especially when Magnus, you talked about what your intended beta would be and had the climb side by side (10:00). It was really cool hearing what you do and also stick with it, as I know it's quite common for a lot of climbers to sort of think about the beta or not have a full plan, or switch mid climb. It's great insight into how you read problems. Loved seeing Pete again in the vids, too. I love watching you guys climb side by side, since the styles are so different. Thanks for the great vid and congrats on the new gym!

[@MisterFreedom206]

Love the synergy between you two! Also think the side-by-side cut with you explaining and doing the boulder was great!

[@targeted1948]

Magnus & Pete the dynamic duo!

[@rhettetherington1351]

Yes! Magnus and Pete. Congratulations on your new gym Magnus👍

[@gamegreg]

Oh the side to side of you explaining what you're gonna do and actually doing it is a great idea, definitely make that a habit for your videos!

[@gabrielleszafir]

Huge congrats Magnus! You've done so much for the climbing community - hope you feel massively proud and deserving of this awesome new venture in your hometown! Also as a somewhat new KZbinr - I make videos about nature, adventure, and life - when I came across your videos about how you started this channel it was a boost of inspiration for me to just start where I'm at and let it naturally grow and evolve over time. Thank you! Sending big gratitude to you 💛

[@conserve_climber]

Congratulations; the gym looks amazing!

[@nikash97]

Waiting for every new video. Thanks for introducing me to the climbing world! When your channel was smaller about 3 years ago I was only watching. Now, for the 4th month already I go to the gym every week to boulder and climb occasionally.

[@user-di7ry9ok6l]

Cant wait to visit all your gymsss

[@shaolindk4430]

I've said it many times, but I guess I'll say it again for the algorithm. You're content never seizes to amaze me!

[@jeffb.1555]

I Always enjoy your videos with the Pete! The climbing the conversation, Pete’s really strong and to see him clim next to Magnus, so different! Keep up the good work! Wish you did some lead climbing!

[@dark-o]

The shoe trick on the last slab was amazing 😂😂😂💪💪💪

[@DerrickNedzelMtnBike]

You and Pete have great rapport on camera - I really enjoy watching you climb together. I broke my leg a few weeks ago and watching your videos is motivating me to keep up with my stretching to get back on the wall as soon as I can. Thank you both!

[@JibblyandCheese]

Always love seeing you and the wide boyz together!

[@leof3686]

Nice love how the layout will look!

[@lucyreed4452]

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR SO LONG!!! I KNEW IT WOULD COME AT SOME POINT. I love the wooden look that gyms are starting to migrate towards. It's super aesthetic

[@daveb427]

Visited Bergen a couple years ago... super nice. Norway is amazing. Would love to return one day.

[@arramzy18]

Definitely want to see Magnus compete!

[@zasmit5232]

Amazing editing Magnus!! Keep up the awesome work!

[@eyuns72]

Congrats on opening the new gym! Looking forward to drop by one day after work 😀

[@grahamemacmullen7731]

Love this video - having fun climbing and messing about with mates - nice!

[@Petitgaaateau]

I wanna meet Pete’s physical therapist. To be completely confident heel hooking after a knee injury is amazing.

[@mevouc]

Really good edit here ! I loved the black boulder editing : when you were explaining how you would do it, and at the same time on the right, we had a split screen of you actually doing it at the same time. Flawless.

[@williamhowes379]

Even after years of climbing, it's still great to see that you are still learning! Probably should try a video about climbing without shoes now

[@color3643]

Love seeing Pete love watching your videos been on a magnus binge the past 2 months

[@andrewgilbertson5356]

Wide Boyz and Magnus Midtbo brilliant.

[@MasterHatred]

You guys have such a nice chemistry and you are so skilled! Grat video👍

[@prettypetite]

This gym is now on my bucket list

[@ok-wi7kt]

The editing feels smoother and fresher in this video, great job

[@justindantonio2561]

I really liked the side by side features in this video. Cool to see Magnus explaining how to do a boulder as he does it.

[@bigchickenking9576]

Magnus' skin tone is the perfect camouflage on that plywood :D Great vid, awesome gym!!!

[@oldlifter530]

Congratulations

[@mj6582]

Good to see Pete again! And nice gym!

[@alishaokeeffe7574]

It’s really nice to see the split screen with different climbers on the same problem

[@user-vl3xk4oq2d]

Yay! A Magnus video!!

[@_Molecule]

good luck with the gym magnus, looks awesome

[@JA-qs3zd]

Congrats! Beautiful. Hope to visit one day.

[@erwinwaterman9699]

Creative editing! Love seeing new editing techniques. Also, more Pete!

[@Sylvaantye]

Would love to come and climb at this new gym. A tip though maybe: set up ropes next to the autobelays, so people can decide whether to climb alone or with a belayer. Autobelays are nice when you want to get a bit more climbing in with 2 or when you couldn't find a belayer, but it makes projecting a route extremely difficult.

[@kennykennyman]

Amazing in every way hope i can visit it someday

[@codylau3164]

More climbing vids with Pete!!! My fav duo
