Sondre should be a regular on the channel, I would love to see you two climb together more. just have a regular sesh with a low-climb-IQ superhuman, get him outside when he's ready, literally show him the ropes.
Do we have to report this to the police? I'm pretty sure he was held hostage when he had to promote this is in the beginning of the video. I think ... they drugged him ! I hope he is save now....
I met Sondre a couple of years ago while both of us worked in a gymnastics centre in Trondheim and this guy is so much more than one arm muscle ups and insane strength. He is incredibly smart and dedicated! He had just started his PhD in electrical engineering at NTNU and actually learned Mandarin after studying abroad for a short periode. Big brain, big heart and big biceps. So cool to see you on this channel!
When he started talking about eliminating as many variables as possible I had a feeling he had some kind of formal education but wasn't expecting PhD level! Crazy how he manages to do both sports and education at such a high level!
@@shmit3237LMAO English is definitely not the most efficient language. It's just the one currently that'll make you the most money because English speaking advertisements pay more.
I'm a 6c climber so understand how hard this is. Totally impressed with Sondre's athletics. Top climbing teacher Magnus. Can't believe your hand strength and skill. Hats off gentlemen.
I stumbled across this channel, and Magnus is so humble and polite and has no ego at all. I have to say, as an American, I am so glad that there are channels like this, without any ego or arrogance. The humble attitude seems to be missing in many American UA-camrs.
No way this collab just happened. been following you Magnus for a couple years and Sondre has taken me on a handstand journey this past year and a half. So stoked for this!

Those led by the Holy Spirit do not abide in wickedness. *God is ONE manifesting himself as THREE;* the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Bless him! *For these three are one.* As I am led by the Holy Spirit, nothing I state is a lie, but the truth of God. Anyone who tells you differently is misinformed or a liar. They do not know God, nor led by him. Anyone who *claims* to be a Christian and is against what I am doing, and where I am doing it; the Holy Spirit does not dwell within them, they lack understanding. They know not God, read his word, and their religion is in vain. Do not hear them, they will mislead you, the lost cannot guide the lost.
When you trust in God and cast your cares (worries, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts) upon him, they will be NO MORE! Know that there is power in the name Jesus Christ! His name casts out demons and heals! The world is wicked, evil, and of the devil. I too, was a wicked sinner of the world before I opened my heart to God. I am living proof of God's work and fruitfulness! He is an active God who hears the prayers of his! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous. The devil is a liar that comes to steal, to kill, and to destroy; that includes your relationship with God! Open your heart to God, repent of your sins (he will forgive you), and let him direct your path. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands and purify your heart, lest you walk with the devil and follow him to hell.
I think there's a lot of people watching that don't fully comprehend the ridiculous finger and upper body strength that he has. And there's plenty of top tier climbers even stronger than him.
No joke, yesterday I was searching for a tutorial on handstands and found Sondre's channel. Immediately wondered how he would perform at climbing because dude's core strength is absolutely insane. And Magnus delivered this video today. Talk about coincidences..
Core strength plays much less of a role in calisthenics than people think (and climbing too, for that matter). Sondre's strongest point is his pushing strength, especially his absurd shoulder strength in bent-arm moves ; of course his core strength is good, but that's not where the money is made.
I love this video because a lot of people focus too much on thinking they need to get stronger to get better at climbing, but this showcases that if you're not at a very advanced level of climbing, technique is FAR more important. Sondre is already a great climber, but you can clearly see his limiting factors are certainly not strength-related. If you're in your first few years of climbing, focus on actually learning to climb. You'll get stronger naturally, but more importantly you'll learn the technique, intuition, and muscle memory that it takes to climb hard routes. If your focus is to get better at climbing, then strength training should be more of a supplemental afterthought.
Hehe, I'm at the beginning of climbing and strength and body mass definitely seem to play a huge role. Can only do a 2-3 climbs before it's time to go home because my grip is so shot and my forearms are done. I can't wait to get over that bump and start learning more technique.
@@Koraxus No eddie Hall started from beginner walls and that made him look good since it's 3/4 of the video until i think he got to 5a. Sonde is starting from 6a and tries much harder climb, i realized that in the video as it made him look bad and incapable to do anything which is misleading,
The hardest problem I’ve ever done is a v7 and I don’t think I’m that strong (in comparison), I can barely do 1 arm pull ups with support from the other arm. But seeing this, it shows how truly understanding your body and technique is so important.
I think finger strength is probably the biggest bottle neck. No amount of body weight training on a bar/rings will ever train your fingers to the degree that climbing will.
@@rorycannon7295 with support from the other arm, without I can’t. To climb a v7 you need some physical ability, but relative to this guy, I’m not strong. We can climb the same grade cuz of my 2 years more experience than him was all I was saying, it’s interesting and kinda made me proud of myself
With me it was the other way. I had decided to take up climbing as a sport. I picked up a lot of gear (for over 16.000 NOK) and put it in the shopping cart at the rungne web-shop. Then i saw how insanely good they were and emptied the shopping cart and went to rema-1000 and bought chips and hot-dogs.

Climbing makes it so blindingly obvious who is just strong and who can actually command their body in space. This guy clearly did better than most other super strong guys would, because he has the control to back up the strength.
Unreal how Magnus achieved a near 10 second handstand hold with great rebalancing capabilities after just a few tries and cues from Sondre. Really shows how athletic he is and how good his proprioception is to start of with: very few people could learn this as fast.
I thought the same. Magnus could blow an artistic gymnast' s mind due his proprioception, spacial orientation and speed reflex. I' d love to see him attempting MAG, especially rings and *horizontal bar* As the cherry on top of the cake, Magnus has naturally hyperextended knees so imagine what an elegant lines!
@@sebumpostmortem I think Magnus barely had balance training, but he have extremely good body coordination, surely he could learn fast, not very fast but faster than average person Edit: magnus actually trained handstand years sgo

Magnus I have no idea why, because I have no background or interest in rock climbing other than being a generic gym goer, but I am loving your channel! I love how authentic, calm, and genuine you are. It's very addicting to watch.
flashing an 8a with unfastened shoes.. you’re insane magnus. seriously. it would make my heart so happy if you’re secretly training and trying out for the coming up olympics. you out of all athletes i follow truly deserve the gold
Why would you consider it weird, the Scandinavian phenotype is rather unique. Pale skin and blond hair is only commonly found in the Nordic region and Western Russia. But Slavs, even if having blond hair, tend to look rather dissimilar to Scandinavians in regard to facial features.
@@kongvinter33 there's genetics data already, you don't have to rely on made up stories. There are many different ethnicities in Russia with different phenotypes.
I feel like there’s so much potential to do more videos together! Watching both of you learn from each other skills that you have the strength to do but not technique is great fun!
No trace of ego with either of them. Just having fun and challenging their bodies. The mutual respect shown by these superstars towards each other is inspiring.
@@Cangaca777 Not just technique really. The body has so many muscles and if you do the same routines most of them will not develop that well. What you need for bouldering isn't the same you need for Sondre's exercises/stunts. When I still climbed I had a number of routines and tools to develop my grip, for example. Certain hand-muscles you rarely need in our lives but are crucial for a strong grip on the wall.
the key is light weight, the bigger you get the harder it gets, even if it's all muscle mass (strength), the strength cannot overcome the weight and gets weaker the heavier you get. all pro climbers and short skinny people..
Magnus is a great teacher, he saw every little bit of technique that was missing to succeed that 7A and explained it nicely! E: So was Sondre in the end :)
Awesome vid Magnus! I love it when you feature people that are already intermediate climbers (and maybe strong in another sport), and seeing you take them to the next level. I think having a basic understanding of climbing technique allows you to work with them so much more (as opposed to having to teach them "arms straight" every time).
I love this man, and how he not only shows others try his speciality, but makes sure to include and try himself other person’s abilities (sport). Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and no one can be the best at everything
Super interesting video, Magnus, thanks so much for having Sondre on - and thanks to Sondre for taking part, and those handstand tips. I really like these kind of videos too - bringing in experts from different disciplines.
ever since Ludwig introduced me to you ive been watching your content nonstop. I wanna try climbing now but I know it wont be as easy as you make it look!
Yes go for it! I watched Magnus for 3 years then went to the climbing gym with a head full of knowledge, zero finger strength, and forearms that pumped in seconds, but I still had the best time!
climbing is so fun! Get a couple of friends together and don't worry about the grades, just hop on whatever looks cool. If you're confused about anything i've never met a climber in the gym that doesn't want to help newbies (and show off a little in the process). Just ask around and give it your all.
this is one of the most interesting videos ive seen in like the last 5 years seeing the different kinds of strength one can achieve and still struggle with a different one give me a lot of confidence
You have to appreciate Sondre’s humility and openness in learning a new skill despite being the strongest person in Norway which is surprisingly rare in people today
Very nice video. I'd love to see a series with the two of you teaching each other climbing/calisthenics. Lots of potential I think. You are both excellent teachers.
Great video Magnus. The quote “the reward for training hard is playing hard” stood out to me. I feel this for my training in running. I train my butt off and then I can go out and have amazing adventures “playing” in the mountains! Similar to Jocko Willink’s quote “discipline equals freedom”!
i found your channel yesterday, and i have been hooked on your content, im currently watching through all of your recent videos, and all of them have been amazing. Keep up the great work!
I loved this video so much! The way you learned from each other feels rlly inspiring to me and you both seem so down to earth. Since I have troubles to allow myself to fail - especially in sports - it felt good to see you casually try and have fun :)
Watching two capable bodyweight strength badasses be so nice and respectful and civilized to each other while challenging each other to perform in such a humble fashion just makes me laugh deep down inside with such a full heart. Two kids in a candy store having a great time. Awesome. God bless!
Just seeing how freaking SMOOTH magnus' moves are in comparison to his STRONG guests, makes it very clear how important the technique is. Magnus is like flowing through the wall at a constant speed, his guests' moves are very jerky and chaotic. Videos like this, motivate me to come back to boulders that Ive solved multiple times before, just to try to do it as smoothly as possible.
Its always very interesting to see people from other sports coping with bouldering/climbing. What I haven‘t found so far is a collaboration with a professional (ballet) Dancer, I imagine it pretty cool =D (also because those two sports seem pretty far apart from each other at first glance). Keep up the cool and accessible work!
Not sure if you already saw this by now, but I gotta say I really liked watching the "pole dancers try to keep up with climbers" video (on another channel)
Love bouldering haven’t done it for years though. Love handstands and all the stuff on show. Loved the teaching and humble way both went about sharing. Excellent video for any want to be somethings.
This is awesome! I compete as a MW strongman locally in Utah and have also been bouldering for over 10 years. Really fun to do both hobbies and figure out how to make both training styles work in tandem.
@@rampagesmackssons508 based on google searching it looks to be an under 231 pound strongman. But there is a sub-category of under 200 pounds. So it's one of those two, maybe the 200 pound class if the guy is talking about trying to be decent at climbing as well.
@@harrisons62 I boulder 2-3 times per week, usually outside if I can. I also hangboard a few times a week and find that helps the most in maintaining my climbing while also lifting
Magnus, not only your climbing skills are amazing but your coaching skills are on a another level. You certainly know how to make someone comfortable and they way you compliment & praise them to make them special. I’m going to steal your idea & method to use it at work & at home. Thank you Bro !
Magnus always just casually puts all his guests in their place. "While you're resting, I'll just take a shot at the hardest boulder in the gym." Also breezes through a move while saying, "that move was pretty hard." Such a low-key showoff lol. Love it.
Putting guests in their place? Lol most of his guests aren’t climbers. Put Magnus on a Wrestling Mat or in a Strongman competition and he would look absolutely silly and people would really “put him in his place.” Your comment is ret@rded.
For someone like me who has weak grip strength and no real climbing experience, it is insane to see the amount of maneuvers Magnus and other pro climbers can do.
nah bro, when you scaled the 8A it felt like you're a monster. Huge respect for your dedication on this, I do have knowledge for other more commonly sports but for rock climbing I know nothing but one can easily tell how fing hard it is. Mad respect for you, kep it up!!!
Climbing is really so different in terms of strength. It’s really all in the ability to grip, lock position, core, finger, and other things. Bodybuilding or calisthenics really doesn’t make you good or better at climbing, it helps a little in terms of people who don’t do anything but not as much as people I think assume it would help.
@Mircea L Considering it was NOT his first day climbing and he was already was doing 7A's when he met Magnus, I think that's a bit of a distortion, don't you? He says so 1m40 in, it's not exactly buried somewhere
I love your videos! One small disagreement with form on handstands, good form helps with balance. That's why gymnasts are taught form first, if you lock your body on form, it takes out all the "variables" like Sondre was talking about. You'll be able to hold longer because it is an easier position to hold. Good technique > strength always.
hes definitely super strong but bet it takes a while to develop stronger grip suited for climbing. The way magnus can hold his whole body on with 2 or 4 fingers is amazing
Magnus is such a calm, patient and humble instructor. Every single video of his encourages me to get to my gym and practice whereas some other experts actually have a belittling and demotivating factor. Thanks for being a positive role model for climbing, but not so many thanks for the way that my girlfriend looks when seeing your body on your videos!!!!!
I love you're videos magnus, they motivate and help me verry much with my own climbing. Because of your tips, i climbed a 6a for the first time on the first day, today im gonna buy me some nice climbing shoes, cause the rental ones aren't really the best i believe. Greets from Belgium

@@SweBeach2023 Slavs have that slight central Asian facial structure thanks to the Huns.
@@codeman9145 Babyface superior genetics lmao
@@kongvinter33 there's genetics data already, you don't have to rely on made up stories. There are many different ethnicities in Russia with different phenotypes.
Fascinating how you are both so strong and flexible but still have a lot to learn and teach each other. Makes for a good friendship!
I feel like there’s so much potential to do more videos together! Watching both of you learn from each other skills that you have the strength to do but not technique is great fun!
No trace of ego with either of them. Just having fun and challenging their bodies. The mutual respect shown by these superstars towards each other is inspiring.
It's crazy how different the strength requirements are for climbing than other general strength exercises
yh anyone he gets on who isnt used to climbing seems to find climbing hard even though they are good at most physical activities
Probably more a matter of technique than strength in their case.
@@Cangaca777 Not just technique really. The body has so many muscles and if you do the same routines most of them will not develop that well. What you need for bouldering isn't the same you need for Sondre's exercises/stunts.
When I still climbed I had a number of routines and tools to develop my grip, for example. Certain hand-muscles you rarely need in our lives but are crucial for a strong grip on the wall.
@@OytheGreat That makes sense yes! so your body kinda "designs" itself based on the activities you do.
the key is light weight, the bigger you get the harder it gets, even if it's all muscle mass (strength), the strength cannot overcome the weight and gets weaker the heavier you get.
all pro climbers and short skinny people..
Your content has grown an insane amount in a short amount of time, keep it up!
This video shows how effortless Magnus makes climbing look! He makes routes look far easier than they are
Magnus is a great teacher, he saw every little bit of technique that was missing to succeed that 7A and explained it nicely!
E: So was Sondre in the end :)
Awesome vid Magnus! I love it when you feature people that are already intermediate climbers (and maybe strong in another sport), and seeing you take them to the next level. I think having a basic understanding of climbing technique allows you to work with them so much more (as opposed to having to teach them "arms straight" every time).
I love this man, and how he not only shows others try his speciality, but makes sure to include and try himself other person’s abilities (sport). Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and no one can be the best at everything
Oh, wait, I can be the best at everything.... But I dont...
Super interesting video, Magnus, thanks so much for having Sondre on - and thanks to Sondre for taking part, and those handstand tips. I really like these kind of videos too - bringing in experts from different disciplines.
ever since Ludwig introduced me to you ive been watching your content nonstop. I wanna try climbing now but I know it wont be as easy as you make it look!
I hope you try it!
Go for it bro
Yes go for it! I watched Magnus for 3 years then went to the climbing gym with a head full of knowledge, zero finger strength, and forearms that pumped in seconds, but I still had the best time!
climbing is so fun! Get a couple of friends together and don't worry about the grades, just hop on whatever looks cool. If you're confused about anything i've never met a climber in the gym that doesn't want to help newbies (and show off a little in the process). Just ask around and give it your all.
Same
Yall are so positive and encouraging with each other. Love it.
This collab vs the last one. This is sooooooo much better, calmer and less annoying! Thank you!
I love how humble you both are but at the same time just enjoy showing the skills that you've learned over the years of training
I love seeing you guys collaborate! I’ve recently gotten back into rock climbing and absolutely love it!
Magnus literally wasn't kidding when he said he's got some amazing content coming up in the next couple weeks a while back. Crushing the content!
That first boulder he got was so cool to see. Especially when it seemed he was beginning to get a little discouraged. Fast learner!
this is one of the most interesting videos ive seen in like the last 5 years
seeing the different kinds of strength one can achieve and still struggle with a different one give me a lot of confidence
This just goes to emphasize what a top tier athlete Magnus is. Great collaboration!
You have to appreciate Sondre’s humility and openness in learning a new skill despite being the strongest person in Norway which is surprisingly rare in people today
Signs of a really great person... Obviously he´s highly intelligent, too...
Yes, kudos to him.
Yeah it's pretty rare to be the strongest person in Norway
Very nice video. I'd love to see a series with the two of you teaching each other climbing/calisthenics. Lots of potential I think. You are both excellent teachers.
Great video Magnus. The quote “the reward for training hard is playing hard” stood out to me. I feel this for my training in running. I train my butt off and then I can go out and have amazing adventures “playing” in the mountains! Similar to Jocko Willink’s quote “discipline equals freedom”!
i found your channel yesterday, and i have been hooked on your content, im currently watching through all of your recent videos, and all of them have been amazing. Keep up the great work!
It’s crazy how strong you are Magnus. It’s so fascinating to watch you climb. 🤟
Definitely one of the most, if not the most impressive athletes you have featured on you channel!
What I like about Magnus is how he loves it when other people succeed at their climb. So enthusiastic about other people's success.
Yes, though to be fair I’ve never met a climber who isn’t that way - it’s part of what makes the sport so special
I loved this video so much! The way you learned from each other feels rlly inspiring to me and you both seem so down to earth. Since I have troubles to allow myself to fail - especially in sports - it felt good to see you casually try and have fun :)
Amazing!! Sondre is a beast and a massive inspiration for me. Been following him for ages!!
A lot of strength comes from flexibility aka flow of energy. As esoteric as it might sound. Much respect to both of you. Salute!
Only bodyweight and height doesn't translates to strength always am I right?
Watching two capable bodyweight strength badasses be so nice and respectful and civilized to each other while challenging each other to perform in such a humble fashion just makes me laugh deep down inside with such a full heart. Two kids in a candy store having a great time. Awesome. God bless!
I've never watched these types of videos before. It was very interesting, how you guys can do that sort of stuff is amazing. Great video mate 👍
Watching you coach helps to show how difficult some of these climbs are and how important and easy correct technique can help make a climb
Magnus' grip strength is just off the charts!!!! So impresive.
Your videos are always amazing buddy! Keep it up!
Thanks brother!
Jonas? What are you doing here?!
This place is the least I expect Jonas would be.
oh my god u too here???? i love this guy
Damn, forventa ikke deg her
Just seeing how freaking SMOOTH magnus' moves are in comparison to his STRONG guests, makes it very clear how important the technique is. Magnus is like flowing through the wall at a constant speed, his guests' moves are very jerky and chaotic. Videos like this, motivate me to come back to boulders that Ive solved multiple times before, just to try to do it as smoothly as possible.
For real... The 8A+ he did he made it look like a v1.
And finger tip strength.
Its always very interesting to see people from other sports coping with bouldering/climbing. What I haven‘t found so far is a collaboration with a professional (ballet) Dancer, I imagine it pretty cool =D (also because those two sports seem pretty far apart from each other at first glance). Keep up the cool and accessible work!
Not sure if you already saw this by now, but I gotta say I really liked watching the "pole dancers try to keep up with climbers" video (on another channel)
Magnus' climbing is pure poetry in motion; a true artist
Just found out your channel a few days ago and I can't stop watching! You are hella inspiring even for a couch potato like me lol! Keep it up Magnus.
This guy is amazing! its nice to see your heroes conquer new challenges! Great job!
The end was wholesome. Respectful, kind, fun, chilled. You're both awesome, great collaboration.
Whenever you upload a video I always get the urge to just binge through all your videos. But I've already seen them lol
Love bouldering haven’t done it for years though. Love handstands and all the stuff on show. Loved the teaching and humble way both went about sharing. Excellent video for any want to be somethings.
This is awesome! I compete as a MW strongman locally in Utah and have also been bouldering for over 10 years. Really fun to do both hobbies and figure out how to make both training styles work in tandem.
How often do you climb? I want to prioritise gym over bouldering, but also want to improve at bouldering.
What is an MW strongman (middleweight) ?
@@rampagesmackssons508 based on google searching it looks to be an under 231 pound strongman. But there is a sub-category of under 200 pounds. So it's one of those two, maybe the 200 pound class if the guy is talking about trying to be decent at climbing as well.
@@harrisons62 I boulder 2-3 times per week, usually outside if I can. I also hangboard a few times a week and find that helps the most in maintaining my climbing while also lifting
@@rampagesmackssons508 Yes sir
Magnus, not only your climbing skills are amazing but your coaching skills are on a another level. You certainly know how to make someone comfortable and they way you compliment & praise them to make them special. I’m going to steal your idea & method to use it at work & at home. Thank you Bro !
Such humbleness and mutual respect ! Two great figures ❤
Its so funny as a norwegan to hear norwegans speaking english to eachother
As a native English speaker it was funny to me too!
Knut has the best Norwegian accent so far to me hah.
veldig gøy å se norske folk på kanalen din, og litt mer bare chill klatring :))
Its great to see a non pro climber climb with you, that way you can see how good you are. You're amazing!
Magnus always just casually puts all his guests in their place. "While you're resting, I'll just take a shot at the hardest boulder in the gym." Also breezes through a move while saying, "that move was pretty hard." Such a low-key showoff lol. Love it.
Not on his recent video climbing outdoors with Shawn
@@gezzapk well that’s Shawn top 5 boulderers in the world rn
Putting guests in their place? Lol most of his guests aren’t climbers. Put Magnus on a Wrestling Mat or in a Strongman competition and he would look absolutely silly and people would really “put him in his place.”
Your comment is ret@rded.
Something about the camera move at 12:50 when he starts going up is so satisfying
2 beasts! Would be cool if you and Sondre could create a beginner calisthenics routine to complement climbing in order to get stronger/avoid injuries.
The strength these two have is unthinkable
Unfathomable
@@xCoNa14 immeasurable
I like trains.
@@not_the_pasta 🚂 👍🏻
@@not_the_pasta choo choo
For someone like me who has weak grip strength and no real climbing experience, it is insane to see the amount of maneuvers Magnus and other pro climbers can do.
Great video! It'd be awesome to see a video with Martins Licis!
I feel like he'd be more suited to climbing than most WSM competitors.
nah bro, when you scaled the 8A it felt like you're a monster. Huge respect for your dedication on this, I do have knowledge for other more commonly sports but for rock climbing I know nothing but one can easily tell how fing hard it is.
Mad respect for you, kep it up!!!
Climbing is really so different in terms of strength. It’s really all in the ability to grip, lock position, core, finger, and other things. Bodybuilding or calisthenics really doesn’t make you good or better at climbing, it helps a little in terms of people who don’t do anything but not as much as people I think assume it would help.
no you are wrong
the dude literally climbed a 7a on his first day. I takes people years of climbing to reach that level. how is that a "little help"?
@Mircea L Considering it was NOT his first day climbing and he was already was doing 7A's when he met Magnus, I think that's a bit of a distortion, don't you? He says so 1m40 in, it's not exactly buried somewhere
I loved the coaching! Great results very quickly.
sondre berg is simply incredible. he is one of my biggest inspiration!!
I love your videos! One small disagreement with form on handstands, good form helps with balance. That's why gymnasts are taught form first, if you lock your body on form, it takes out all the "variables" like Sondre was talking about. You'll be able to hold longer because it is an easier position to hold. Good technique > strength always.
hes definitely super strong but bet it takes a while to develop stronger grip suited for climbing. The way magnus can hold his whole body on with 2 or 4 fingers is amazing
I love that you do this sort of 90/10% trade where you teach the guest and the guest teaches you. Really awesome.
That thumbnail tho...🫡 Loved the chill vibes in this one for sure. Sondre crushed! 💪
the beauty of Aryan/Viking ancestors!
Magnus is such a calm, patient and humble instructor. Every single video of his encourages me to get to my gym and practice whereas some other experts actually have a belittling and demotivating factor.
Thanks for being a positive role model for climbing, but not so many thanks for the way that my girlfriend looks when seeing your body on your videos!!!!!
This is an awesome video Magnus, thank you for the content of this relatively niche sport. Your finger strength @7:05 is insane.
Right what crazy move was that haha. Amazing
I love you're videos magnus, they motivate and help me verry much with my own climbing. Because of your tips, i climbed a 6a for the first time on the first day, today im gonna buy me some nice climbing shoes, cause the rental ones aren't really the best i believe. Greets from Belgium
What a couple of wholesome dudes. I wish I knew people like them.
