All these years of not climbing competitively, and Magnus still makes these difficult routes look so easy. Really puts into perspective how good he is.

[@Stephen90s]

Well he climbed 9b so not too surprising that he still can flash 8a/7c+. He does have an insane amount of strength tho

[@MiguelClimbs]

Loving the natural convos between you and Marte. And her singing voice lol.

[@jorgecrimps]

I’m a route setter at a small climbing gym and we don’t have the lift to set lead walls 😭 we have to rope solo climb and have the holds and tools in a bucket hanging from us, it is so annoying it takes hours to set one route! I don’t know if Magnus has set like this before? It would be interesting to know!!

[@magmidt]

Yes I used to do that in Bergen where I grew up:) Takes a lot longer to set that way!

[@jorgecrimps]

Magnus Midtbø Awesome!! I knew that there was no way you hadn’t done that before. Thank you so much for the reply 🙌🏼🐐

[@toktassarna]

we do that to, solo rope climing or belayed by someone. Takes forever. And your legs, no blood in them after awhile haning in the harness!

[@dropsnooze5274]

I hope you have some ladderish routes to get up quick :0 Sounds a bit like the route setting in the saxony swiss, where you aren't allowed to set the routes whilst being belayed, but you have to go from the bottom and take the drill with you ;D

[@rintje6507]

It's just extra training dude💪

[@RamiJames]

As a route setter, I find these videos EXCELLENT learning material.

[@flusck]

That's pretty interesting because Magnus always talks about "good route setters" as if he didn't belong into that circle.

[@wjadam815]

@@flusck Seeing them do problem solving and stuff out loud is probably the informative part, not to mention having a guy like Magnus give an opinion on the subject. Not all setters are great climbers, and not all climbers are great setters. I think it's probably good for setters to see all aspects of climbing, even this.

This was a special treat! All the clutter of holds in gyms take away from being able to just focus on the climbing. This happens to be part of why I prefer real rock. The editing here was nice, too, with good lighting and a variety of angles. ...As for humor? You make her giggle all the time, dude. Clearly, you are funny to someone besides your fans.

[@jo.da.6240]

Super interesting! I am (yet) a non-climber but I find your videos super interesting. I had surgery in October and have to wait 6 months until I can do heavy sports again but once I'm fully healed, I want to start climbing. I did it once when I was 12 years old and loved it but there was no gym close to us and you need a partner, etc. so I always found excuses to not pick it up again. Now at 30 I will finally give it a proper go. By the time I'll be healed I will probably have watched all your videos. :D

[@ascotter]

Hope you heal well and climb well!

[@BootyGoblinesque]

How'd your recovery go? Done any climbing yet?

[@THE_BLOOD_MAN]

Yo that NordVPN ad visual was actually pretty damn fire

[@Banminator7]

the texture of these walls is incredibly beautiful

[@rintje6507]

Hey Magnus, nice video. I'd love to try to set sometime. Here's an idea for Rúngne: Put a chalked handprint on the shirts/hoodies. Tbh I have no idea if it's possible to make that look cool, but I think it would be a nice touch to the products you are selling. What do you think?

[@thomasbecker9676]

Could also put one on leggings....one of the butt cheeks.

[@fanthomans2]

It looked like a fun route. Thanks for the exclusive honor of showing it to us.

[@georgiapatrick5154]

[@sagaxus7422]

[@ThePicko94]

From a non climber, i like alot of your vids but have always found setting walls and grading them extremely interesting. The thought process of applying various moves to climb a problem changes from climber to climber depending on strengths and technique, the best routes are the ones that force a climber to those moves...... Its fascinating.

[@RobG001]

I struggle to climb the stairs, yet am watching this. :) Never even seen a climbing wall. :)

[@IrishDougal]

Been watching your videos for a few years and I’m not sure what it is but your personality really came across in this video and it was great to see, you seemed so at ease when talking to Marte in the lift. Anyway thanks for all the videos and keep up all the great work, your success is well deserved!!!

[@marianagastelum1774]

@@kamron_thurmond If you dont do it already do a good warm up and start with easy routes. Dont start with to much overhang. But if that doesnt help and you feel pain you really should visit a doctor.
