Out of all of the impressive things Eddie has done, this by far, was the most impressive thing yet. Getting scared shitless in the middle of the route, mentally freezing, and being able to regroup and keep moving forward is a huge achievement.
It's very impressive honestly. I think we saw that fearless Eddie back in his strongman peak too, willing to go deep in those dark waters and carry through.
@@Idiomatick Not to take anything away from Eddie, obviously the 500 kg deadlift is objectively more impressive, but it’s pretty common for people to spray blood as they’re deadlifting heavy weights. Sudden blood pressure spike etc.
I disagree immensely, I think the 500kg Deadlift at the time is a much more impressive feat. Not to say that this wasn't very impressive, it certainly was. But almost nothing is more impressive then that lift at the time. That lift was and is a wonder of the world in my opinion.
@@Idiomatick Of course no one can say anything about his 500kg deadlift. But this may be the most impressive thing ive seen him do on his youtube channel.
For those who aren't familiar with climbing, check out Magnus' video titled 'Climbing with Alex Honnold Insane Experience' to see Magnus in a similar situation as Eddie. Loved this video, Eddie!
I watched this on magnus' channel and as a life long climber this is one of the sickest things i've ever seen. His ability to climb at that size is otherworldly. And the rate at which he learned and understood rock climbing throughout just the course of the video was crazy. He understood things about climbing that takes people years.
I don't give a shit what you think of Eddie. A man of his size, doing that climb after one lesson and it being way out of his comfort zone is something to be respected.
Even when you first start bouldering tiny heights, its always respected when people get out of their comfort zone. even if its only 2 meters, getting over yourself should always get complimented no matter how far you went. thats what i learned bouldering.
i realy resprect Magnus for a lot of things he is doing. But he is not a realy good teacher. here in the belay down, hey should realy give Eddi more infos,. But anyway not everyone can be a good teacher.
I love Magnus, he is unbelievable, he walks up the side of that vertical cliff easier than I get up and down off the couch. Props to the beast for having the balls to do this, It really is difficult!!
Eddie is by definition built different, there’s a reason rock climbers are built slim and toned and not 150+kg, to be able to climb like that at that size with very little to no experience while also being the first human to lift half a ton of the ground is actually insane.
Magnus has talked about it on his channel, but eating disorders are not uncommon in climbing because being lighter helps. Until it starts sapping your strength and ruining your health. There's a lot of pros 60-70 kg.
11:39 In the early light, an unexpected behemoth emerges, its massive frame silhouetted against the mountainous backdrop. With surprising agility, it consumes its sustenance, a testament to adaptability in the wild. Against the majestic peaks, it challenges expectations, embodying the audacity of life in this unforgiving terrain
Wow, Eddie, that was truly remarkable! You must be over the moon with pride. Your collaborations with the legendary Magnus are pure gold. Keep that partnership thriving!
Everyone that has won WSM calls themselves the world's strongest man, for life, kind of like former presidents are addressed as president they all do that not just him.
As a 6ft 100kg former rugby player, who took up climbing after having too many injuries, but as a personal challenge, and not to compete, I am very happy you are enjoying this new hobby of yours.
Big ups to Eddie for getting it done and putting in the effort to reach that goal with a crazy heavy build for the sport. Big ups to Magnus for giving the support, confidence, and mentoring to get Eddie up there. All around loved it love the both of ya, outstanding crew on the vid making it seamless as well!
Eddie, MORE COLLAB! as a Big guy myself, i've always wanted to get into climbing as a physical hobby but didn't know if i could cuz it's such a lean sport. This video gave me faith there is. If there's a will, there's a way. PLZ MORE ROCK CLIMBING COLLABS WITH MAGNUS! You guys have great chemistry!
I don't often comment on youtube videoes, but this video was very impressive. You two together are dynamite! Make more climbing videoes with Magnus, and bring more strongmen!
I went indoor climbing at 110kgs and i had the same fear as Eddie, the equipment. You have to remember everyone in there is 75kgs or less , usually less. Googled the tolerances of the ropes and since then have been totally relaxed as they can take 1500kgs when lopped in the figure 8 as they are using. So if Eddie knew this it would relax him a bunch, 170kgs is not a big deal for a rope that can hold a car
Its just one of those things where people of Eddies and your size very rarely if ever are put in positions like that. You're right that the ropes and equipment can hold much much more its just psychological.
The force when you fall is like 3-4 times your weight. So if Eddie fell a meter or more at 165 kg it would quickly accelerate to around 500~600 kg of force, the rope could still hold if what you said is true but I don't think you took that into consideration.
@@shrekjunior6144oh it's absolutely tested thoroughly and even from different use cases and load axes! So for example even the smaller of the cams that Magnus would be setting to anchor to the wall are rated based on the amount of expansion they can get in a crack, so for 9mm of expansion it is rated for 5kN but a better placement of 18mm expansion ups the rated load to 10kN. The locking carabiner for the belay device would usually be rated for 22kN or so on the top to bottom axis and also rated for 7kN if it were in the cross loaded position across the gate and opposing long side. Another part of the equation is that the rope itself is called a "dynamic" rope that has some stretch so that when you do fall the force is dispersed over a longer period of time so the impulse deceleration is reduced to better mitigate the force experienced by the anchors. HowNOT2 is a great channel where they do 3rd party stress testing on climbing gear as well as the effects of age and wear and tear on the gear. The gear itself is extremely robust when maintained.
@@shrekjunior6144top rope “falls” are usually just slips. You don’t actually drop at all. If you fall on lead then the rope stretches to absorb the force of your fall and decelerate you while you lift up your belayer, which also decelerates you. Even climbers as big as Eddie only generate 700kg force on really big falls with the belayer anchored in place. Most climbing falls don’t even come close to that.
Insane props to you for this amazing first outdoor climbing man ! This feeling when you start to freeze and think you're going to give up, but your mates cheer you up and you conquer your nerves to push through your limits and fears to reach the end, nothing beats that high. The pride and joy when you finish taste so sweet, genuinely happy for you to discover these feelings 🙌
Not the first time the Beast has taken on a Mountain 😄 I tried bouldering for the first time last month and, as an 85kg guy, it's not surprising that Eddie has a better power-weight ratio, but it seems Eddie is also more flexible than me! Eddie does indeed look like someone who ate Spiderman, didn't see that joke coming 🤣 This was genuinely impressive though.
This man has determination like I’ve never seen before. When Eddie had a goal he sees it through. That’s why he lifted 500 that’s why he is worlds strongest man. Countless upsets over the years but he kept coming back year after year training harder pushing his body to the limit and competing against Shaw Savickas Bjornnson Caron Not to mention up coming Tom and Luke stoltman Eddie battled with real monsters in 2017 but he did it for his nan in my eyes a true legend never underestimate true pride and grit a true inspiration
I done a lot of indoor and outdoor rock climbing in my teens and twenties around the lake District, what Eddie has achieved here is absolutely phenomenal, a Man of that size has no reason to be tearing up the rock faces, yet here he is.
much respect to eddie trying so much different stuff. getting out of his comfort zone. climbing can be really stressfull for the mind and body. id love to try that exact rock with professionals on my side ! Magnus is such a great guy, love his videos aswell
That was actually insane. Congrats, Eddie. O saw the video in Magnus' channel and came here running when it was over Cuzz I wanted to see your version. Amazing
Dude, Eddie you're commitment after that middle section where you were struggling to find feet grip and hanging on with you're upper body was amazing. Epic big guy
You are an inspiration Eddie! Started watching your Channel in December last year, and got motivated to do weight lifting, and I am already 20kg down to 144kg, from 164kg (and not the muscle kind :D). Also got interested in Bouldering, its something to work towards to, even if it will take a while. Really impressive what you have done here, climbing a mountain with this weight, even if you are a supreme athlete, absolut inspiring man!
More of you two climbing. This was awesome seeing Eddie fight through the gear fear and the difference of outside vs. inside climbing. If you have climbed outside you know what Eddie felt and I was right there with you.
Are we going to ignore the camera people (might just be one guy actually) that look like they have CIA training just casually holding a steady shot halfway up the climb?
Eddie, I am actually very impressed. You climbing a Rockwall is something I never thought I would see. Even if you gave up halfway, I still would have been impressed. Very impressive. No quit in you whatsoever.
You're actually a good climber! Seriously impressive. Putting that skill in an 80 kg body or something would make for a high-end climber in terms of grades you can climb.
Thank you for confronting it head on and pushing through the fear. I didn’t know if you were going to do it, heard the excuses start up. But you pulled through. That’s what matters.
Thats always what I loved most about Eddie, he is a worlds strongest man, and a powerlifter, but he will take on challenges, that no other big dude would try.
I'm a strength guy myself, and did my first climbs last year at 115 kg. Had the same fear of equipment but it turned out to be a ton of fun. Definitely not easy but thankfully years of BJJ kept me flexible and I watched videos for a week before to learn some basic techniques. Really fun new hobby but I can only mix it in once every week or so
As a fellow big guy (I'm roughly 147kg) that's been looking to get into climbing recently, this video couldn't have come at a better time. Some lighter buds of mine went to an indoor facility this past weekend and encouraged me to come along the next time. Like you, Eddie, my biggest fear is equipment failure. But, after watching how well you did and how the rigging held up just fine, those nerves have been greatly alleviated. Great job on the outdoor climb, man and I look forward to more awesome content like this.
Go for it man. Climbing ropes have a breaking strain of around 2400kg so even if you were to fall some distance there is basically no risk of equipment failure.
Fair play Eddie, not an easy thing for smaller people to do and you smashed it. Great to see your attitude to trying new things outside of your comfort zone and giving it your all.
WELL DONE!! That was seriously impressive!! Massive respect for stepping this far out of your comfort zone! :) Magnus is amazing, and obviously instructed you well. But you climbed that thing on your own!
I, along with millions of other people that are deathly terrified of heights commend you to the highest honor sir. For you to be so green at climbing, your size, and doing it in a calm fashion is a huge accomplishment! I would've quit while I was getting suited up!!
This is impressive as hell. For someone Eddies size, this cannot be easy and the way he pushed through even after he thought he was at his limit is what it's all about. Respect
Got to say Mr Hall out of all the things you have done this deserves much respect. I did rock climbing as a kid , it really gets the adrenaline going . 10 / 10 ….not quite Stallone in Cliffhanger but a good climb. Well done 👍

Eddie "The Beast" Hall.... There is a reason for that. Man, you killed it! Special thanks to Magnus and the team for making this happen. Great video!
