“World’s best climbers can’t do these boulders”

[@magmidt]

Check out my first-ever online bouldering course ⌲ boulderingblueprint.com (open until September 24th)

[@MrTrogdor2099]

Why is it only open until then?

will the course ever be back after September 24th? I dont have access to a climbing gym now, but say in like a year will It be available again?

I agree - climbing is fun! Great video, Magnus; it's always entertaining to climb with you. I had an excellent "bouldering challenge time" with you and Will! Stay tuned, our KZbin video is coming live on October 2!

[@Hopesfallout]

@@thejude8494 Absolutely, not too many sports come to mind that got a lot of disputes going on. Also, climbing is a sport with barely any money in it. Few faces ever make it beyond the core scene. It's such a chill sport not least because it's still relatively small, very diverse, and elite climbing only rarely gets mainstream recognition.

[@thejude8494]

@Hopesfallout I'm just not every Athlete does. I agree other sports do have them but more often than not it's friendly competition.

Athletes dont have beef, its competition and it stays on the field..... I played American Football, ask me how I know. Try not to be so soft my guy :) I have faith in you!

[@S0ulinth3machin3]

@@Blobbyo25 climbing (and timed mountain biking) is different because it's person vs. mountain. In other sports it's person vs. person. When the opponent is the mountain, then the competitors can be cool with one another.

[@indy2867]

⁠@@S0ulinth3machin3 I think it’s about getting to the top of your game. In any sport the best are the ones just trying to be better than they were yesterday. Even in combat sports, the guys are almost always positive with each other outside the ring, or off the mat. High level combatants in say, MMA or Boxing, need each other to push each other to get better. If you’re super aggressive about it, no one wants to play with you anymore. I was a pretty decent HEMA fighter, I was one of the instructors in our group. We had a guy who just took the whole thing too seriously. I didn’t like to spar with him, because I didn’t trust him not to injure me. That also meant that if I matched his energy, I would be at risk of hurting him also. Sucked all the fun out of sparring. A real shame, too. He was a wrestler in school, and his grappling was fantastic! I hope he mellowed out! 😂

[@buksghost9542]

Hey Magnus. My son (12 years old) and I just discovered you a month or so ago. And we just switched (one day ago) from our regular gym to the local climbing gym in our little town. Our first night there, we heard someone say, “Let’s do the Magnus route…” You are influencing people in Chico, California. Don’t let the popularity change you. Your real-ness is why you are so popular. The world needs good people. Doesn’t matter whether you are a climber or a trash collector. People watch because you are real. Thanks for being a good person.

Everything you said applies to you as well, you’re being real & just saying what you think & that‘s genuinely what this world desperately needs right now. People being real, positive & uplifting to each other ❤) My Dad was born & grew up in Chico and my great Grandpa, who sadly passed away 2 years ago, lived all of his 101 years on this earth in Chico. One of my great uncles still lives in his house since he passed; they had a car shop back in the day for Volkswagens & other German cars. I now live in Germany but no matter where you’re from, our love for Magnus & what he does is endless! He touches & inspires people all over the world & I hope he knows how grateful we are to have someone like him showing us what his life & elite level climbing looks like.

[@MrSonny208]

Been watching Magnus for years and as someone that competed in tennis, likes basketball and football as well there is really not content like these in those other sports. In tennis , you never get to see this hang out, chill, test, fun type of test of skills. In football footballers are too famous to access to them and if someone access to them is 2 min of a crossbar challenge and you don't get to have a glimpse of what is like to be a real Madrid player, a bayern player. And also on basketball I guess the closest is those scrimmages videos that they play but ist not as you hang out with Curry and have 20 min of footage of him shooting 3s or messing around with floaters. Like yes, there is content similar to that but what this channel or Adam's does is just to bring such a high level of atletiscism to your " reach" is soooo inspiring. Thank you so much Magnus.

"the higher you get, the more fun climbing becomes." i agree its been more fun to figure out things as i improve, because more problems and types of moves and holds makes it more fun to figure out in your own way, but even starting rock climbing was super fun! thanks for always being an inspiration. (ive been watching for forever, like maybe early vlogs around 30 ish.. ive only started climbing recently, its a super fun sport. finding your channel again on my new youtube acc brought back all the wanting to try i had since i was in elementary school, so i had to take a crack at it finally)

And obviously we wanna see the 25kg beast board, sounds absolutely impossible to me as a novice

What a brilliant video, seeing the three of you absolute beasts together is so much fun. But the best part is Magnus just getting absolutely covered in chalk by the end of the video, it's so classic Magnus, but absolutely ridiculous

[@m.w.4508]

It's hard for a non-climber to realise how ridiculously strong these guys are without having a go yourself. I'm an 85Kg bodyweight powerlifter, "look" strong and have always considered myself "statically strong." I have a good bench, deadlift, squat etc. But, I got my arse well and truly kicked by V1's an 2's the first time I ever went climbing. Falling like a new born deer even when trying to stand on massive jugs. These guys maintain a stupidly high level of strength for an even more ridiculous length of time, consistently. Day after day, climb after climb, in extreme temperatures. They're just phenomenal athletes and have huge respect from me.

[@TheGreatestJuJu]

I don’t climb but after watching a ton of Magnus vids, his style is best described as powerful fluidity. It’s what sets him apart from even the best technical or free solo climbers. Magnus has a consistent fluidity in his movements. I would love to watch him do more of a horizontal almost endurance style, where more boulders are a bit easier but the rhythm could be more uninterrupted. Weirdly it reminds me of like a parkour flow state…

[@duckyorwell9416]

Hard work, talent, and dedication aside, I think Adam’s height and overall proportions, like long limbs, play a huge role in making him a better climber.

[@Tobsen660]

I'm with you about the fun in climbing, getting better and being able to climb more impressive lines. Climbing passages on the rock where you have to find the one possible combination is the best. But there are also easier routes with specific requirements and there are destinations with beautiful easier routes. The elbsandstone for example has really beautiful easy lines. You just have to search more for them. You can't just go to a crack and climb the most beautiful line because it might be above your limit. Right now it's hard for me because my current level is 2 grades lower than it has been, but there is still joy in climbing for me.
