Eddie is definitely a demonstration of how the 'mental' aspect of skill/technique/willpower is SO big a factor in successful athletes. He's GOAT in his chosen field of athletic effort AND he can show athletic/mental ability in unrelated athletic fields - the mental skills - not to be underestimated.

[@threedog27]

Definately. Of course he will not be able to climb hard routes but it is really impressive to even climb the routes he did with 1. His body mass and 2. his experience in climbing. He could say f' it countless times before but he did not. Thats the mindset of an athlete.

[@jakobbauz]

Hahahaha so deeply evil!

[@DocMacKay819]

Eddie: "What I'm worried about is equipment failure" This is a very common and valid concern when beginning to learn the climbing basics. Even after 30+ years of climbing, I was still concerned about equipment failure, especially when on the sharp end on a trad route. Advice to Magnus: Before taking any beginner off the ground on a rope, give them an in-service on the equipment, it's design, strength, purpose, and function. Teach them the proper commands, ie; "belay on?", "climbing", "tension", "slack" "off belay", etc. Have them tie in, climb up a meter or so off the ground, and have them sit back in their harness to demonstrate it's strength/ability to hold/protect them while they are still close to the ground and not 10 meters up. Because Eddie weighs twice as much as you do and is INCREDIBLY top heavy, the potential of him flipping upside down is possible/inevitable. Although a chest harness is cumbersome/ inconvenient, you might consider one for Eddie's MONSTER frame. I'm sure Eddie would appreciate the security it provides.

[@TravelosophyTV]

Sure but there's a 100kg difference between him and the average climber

[@brettmeier5804]

I'm sure this happened off camera. That is just time-consuming, boring content they won't show on the KZbin video

If you climb at all you’ll understand just how impressive Eddie’s feat is. Considering he weighs so much it just shows how strong he is, and also his mindset and willingness to try HARD. And let’s be honest, these two have great chemistry together and Eddie is funny AF 😂

[@javannapoli2018]

Not to mention that his musculature gives him limited range of motion compared to someone of Magnus's build. Not only is he carrying such a large amount of weight, but also is overall less manoeuvrable than somone who would commonly be climbing. Both of Magnus's videos with Eddie have left me very impressed. And I agree, I've never been interested in powerlifting or similar sports, but Eddie is always enjoyable to watch and always seems to have great chemistry with the people who he does videos with, he just seems like a really genuine person.
