      Yeah I'm surprised and glad it's back up. I have an og copy. I may buy the new one just for the cover though. The og one is simply a dark grey untextured book, which looks very cool, with no cover.

Watching him figuring out a difficult boulder & sharing his thought process is one of the things that makes his videos so interesting. I've learned so much just by watching the process

    Hi Magnus, absolutely loved the video as always. Can't wait to grab the book!
    I'm a climbing coach from the UK, and I might have some alternative beta for the Black on the slab that took you a few tries. From the end of the dyno position, bring your left foot to the top of the bottom hold, then move your right foot to the foothold above your right hand. Sucking your hips in, reach over with the right hand (like a cartwheel) and press against the 2nd to last hold. bring your left foot to to stand on the sloper, and using the right hand banana sidepull, rockover to the finish.
    As we both know, a video never captures what the climb was actually like, as so this could all be rubbish. Love to see it as always though. Enjoy the Holiday!

    You're such an inspiration. Your videos not only motivate me so much, but they also make me laugh. I feel that is such a special combination. Thank you Magnus for being you

    For me, the most impressive thing during these videos is the endurance of a climber on Magnus level. When I climp I have a steady decline during the session, but it seems like Magnus has no stop! Incredible!

    I really like the more individual session feel of these videos! It's a challenge to figure out the beta before you speedrun the climbs

    Dropping in the comments to let you know the effort on More Magnus is recognized and appreciated! Love these one on one moments and more vlog style videos. Makes it feel like a normal sesh any of us could be a part of!

    I already read your book , and it came with 3 Magdust but i think i ordered too soon to not get the new chalk bags . Will have to order again 🤷🏼‍♂️
    I started bouldering in march and watched your whole channel since then. I really learned a lot from watching you. You are an inspiring person good sir.
    I already did my first 6Cs , am pretty proud about that
