Yeah, Sintra is a cool area if you're looking for granite boulders. Not sure what it's like for the higher grades, though. There's a guidebook for that area: sellfy.com/p/QprE/
Jon had done most of these climbs about 10-years ago so I'm not sure which were flashes at the time, but on this trip he did the V5, 6, 7, and 8's on his first go and I didn't show some attempts on other climbs because I was mindful of the flow of the video. That being said, he made quick work of Supernova and Rythmo... Fight Club and Octopussy took just over a session to finish.
How are you able to produce multiple videos that include multiple camera angles, do editing, and be traveling all at the same time?! Is there more than one person filming? What kind of camera? Very awesome quality videos!
I manage it by running around a lot 😂 One camera in my hands and the other on a tripod- sometimes ask for help hitting record. I aim to be at the right at the right time and try to squeeze some climbing in for myself... Just about setting priorities and get what you can.

If you are looking for new places to climb welcome to Finland. Good place to start and the "Font" of our own is Åland (Ahvenanmaa in finnish). Its an island southwest of mainland having huge amount of climbing (mostly bouldering) from hard to easy. Alot of potential for new lines as well. Best times to go there are spring and fall but if your not seeking those super cold conditions its really good also during summer days. Check youtube for videos and enjoy the scenery!
Magic Wood looks so amazing! Do you have to be a pretty decent climber to get the most out of bouldering there? Or are there plenty of V2-V4 range climbs? :)
You can find a lot of things to do, but the landings are often scary and dangerous, more than they look on a video hahahah I climb v4 max and I have spent there 2 weeks without doing the same boulder 2 times.
Near magic wood 1h30 there s also Chironico, Cresciano and Val Calanca which for me are even cooler and less crowded (I live there ahaha) and you can go there even in Winter with sun, especially Cresciano its amazing and with a lot of easier climbs with good landings
Question, on the first climb, why did jon not swing his feet to the left before mantling up? would been have easier or says the guide you arent to do so?
Definitely to the left is easier, but we didn't know that right away. Louis had just fallen on the topout so Jon tried it the other way next... bit of trial and error but we all made it out ha
So what exactly happened around 8:20? Which made him say "How to hold jugs like crimps 101"? Can you explain to a non-climber? Also, thanks and good luck.
A jug is a really good hold which you can get a large portion of your hand on, where as a crimp is more of a shitty little edge which only your fingertips can grab. So he's saying he grabbed a good hold with his fingertips
@@khakicam5400 Thank you. So was it dangerous, or just a weird mistake? Was it a jug hold after he adjusted to 4 fingers? And is that what he said was the one thing he shouldn't have forgotten?
Pretty cool. I think the title is lame though... the grades don't draw me in, nor the Jon Partridge name, despite appearing to be pretty sound in the video. I'm interested in the boulders. The fact it's a tour of the classics IS interesting. Instead something like "Classic boulders of Magic Wood with Jon Partridge: V5 to V11" would be better IMO. Or some clickbait-ified version of that if needs must.
Can anyone recommend some good bouldering spots in Portugal??
Heard some good things about Sintra :)

Love Sintra! Be prepared to lose skin.
Aka the magical forest and you’ll understand when you get there. Absolutely stunning.
u can come to sintra, i can find u a place to stay for free for sure!
Nice vid! Always good to see JP crushing it!
bearded guy is a 5 star spotter
1. confident spray 2. good beta 3. smoking, right now 4. actually barely spotting 5. beard
John is so humble, massive respect to him. Great climber.
When I grow up I want to be like Jon
Nice video! Top out of U-Boot looks so tough!
Love the 5star system!! Great video!
Nice one JP, good to see you out crushing some rock, almost makes me want to get in the wall again!
"save the rock" excellent message !
I love how he made the 8a and the 6c look equally hard :) J/k, great vid and chill vibes, can't wait to go there someday and have a look around :)
Ace camera work at the start 🤙
Whatever I'm paying that guy I should double it 😂
#belikeJP is such a life goal 😍
Well isnt he a nice guy! Nice vid!
Jon is a beast and a gent
watching these problems for like 20 minutes had me feeling the rock in my mind and then sweating off every hold
"sendsei" got me good!!
Until Fight Club all of those climbs were flashes? Impressed...

Still impressed. :)
That Octopussy... Just how? I've watched it a few times now, and Jon seems to defy gravity, especially from 16.17 to 16.30! Great filming.
Damn this video makes me want to climb, train, climb, train, climb, train! So Psyched!
What coat is John wearing at the very beginning?

So what you’re saying is that he has the master beta?

@@AndrewMacFarlane ah i understand, thanks for the reply and for the nice Video, was really fun to watch :)

@@xamishia , he's just making fun of himself for not getting the hold properly.
"its not a hard rock climb" - its 7c
You should come to maltatal it's great
Watching him finish U-boot stressed me the fuck out
First like and comment🤘🤘
Thidious Sends why do people do this?
