Strong man VS Climber - Who has stronger grip? The Norwegian Hulk - กีฬา
If an old man comes into my gym with a camera crew I'm expecting Olympic level feats of strength.
Doubly so when that man doesn’t even take his scarf off to climb. 😅 I could never.
To be fair, he came in with someone else's camera crew. The other guy has his own decently popular climbing channel, and the premise is that the old man is his dad or uncle or something.
He should have went with the handlebar mustache and a bomber hat. That would have thrown them off the scent.
and looks like Magnus in a costume and has giant tough meat hooks for hands
its like so fucking obvious... everybody would know it unless you are braindead.
the fact that nobody found it weird for a man to be climbing with a scarf and a hat on 😂
Exactly thinking the same. Its so stupid. The coatch allready know from minutes 1 that something weird is going on for sure :D Hes just pretending not to know anything
Voice, eyes, hands, posture. Dam man, I'd blow his cover in a second.
Probably because they knew it was for some stupid video by the fact that someone is filming him and even with the disguise he looks like an absolutely ripped super athlete?
Not weird in Sheffield, luv! 😂 scarves and hats on up north!
And a cameraman? Lol
This guy is an EXCELLENT coach. So encouraging and positive.
Well, he admits he knew it was magnus from the start and you can see the coach playing along and enjoying Magnus' performance right from his first appearance on screen..... so, of course he's gonna do a good job. He probably already knew it was gonna be on the channel.
Still does a great job of pretending to be an awesome coach though. XD
Yes, but PLEASE don't allow anyone to climb with a scarf around its neck
@@SheldonMLee Dude... He knew it was Magnus. He was plaing along. Putting on show. XD
Must be a real fun job! Especially when you can call your clients 😺's and 'dude'.
I've been written up before because I said 'Have a good rest of your day dude.' One time on the phone 😂
@@kris301 You're a human being. Don't let them treat you less than one just becasue you are an employee.
I'm from Sheffield, and our climbing gyms have at least one old man per day who can somehow cling like spiders to the most ridiculous inclines. Props to them ❤
They're all just Magnus in disguise 😂
Define old! I'm 48 and just took my 12 year old to a gym here in NC. It was the first time for both of us and we did a few V2s. I was pleasantly surprised my arm didn't fall off!
@@AngelHernandez-qf5wc I dont know about NC, but here I've seen 60 and 70 year olds climbing away (often better than me) and the sports club I used to work for had to make a seperate tournament for the over 80s, where the oldest player was 94 😲 Never too late to start, especially when you can do V2s on your first try!
@@AngelHernandez-qf5wc you're just past halfway lol
Same with skate parks there’s always some random 60+ dude that shows up doing the gnarliest tricks ever
Magnus: we looked for an instructor without social media
The instructor: knows more about climbing history and famous climbers than 90% of the climbing community
reality: you dont need social media to know that stuff
everybody here including you: pikachu face
Bruh right
my father has never climbed in his life and literally knows every path up most of the highest mountains of the world, that has ever been climbed and documented its insane how much some people know. he learned most of that without the internet, entirely from books
@@markheinle6319 itsZaque: Makes a point about them failing to find a guy who doesn't know magnus
you: missing the point
I mean he does work at the foundry, one of the most historical indoor walls in the UK.
When Magnus is 70 years old, I really hope he is still making climbing videos and recreate this video as an actual 70 year old man.
ok
If he thought he could do that, he would practise his present skills and wait his turn.
Posing as a decrepit person to impress others is rather lame, literally.
@@d.macrae461 he doesn't do it to impress one person who doesn't know, he does that to entertain his followers, who already know, and are enjoying the genuine happiness of instructors, don't look for lameness where there is none
lol yes that would probably be very fun to watch. I hope I live long enough to see magnus become 70 years old though lmao
will you tube still exist then ?
i cant stop laughing when magnus deliberately violently shakes his legs 😂
I'm a German myself and you absolutly smashed the accent. Great video and funny idea.
Exactly! As a fellow German who watches lots of English-speaking German TH-camrs that was the first thing I noticed!
His regular accent sounds more scandinavian, but when he mixes in German words it gets really convincing :D
Verdammt!
I didnt think so tbh. Not pronouncing the "ch" correctly is pretty easy giveaway for anyone with basic german knowledge. Its not prononced like a k like english speaking people always do but like in the yiddish words Chanukah or Chutzpah.
@@CrissCrossCAI thought that there were other regional dialects that pronounce the ch like shh rather that the k sound
Got to love this Coach. He exemplifies everything a good coach should. And he truly cares. Great to see. So dang knowledgeable, as well.
I’m not a climber, but as a flight instructor, he definitely exemplifies everything an instructor/coach etc should be. Very encouraging but not afraid to give advice and criticize in a constructive manner! Amazing!
He did forget the chalk.
He is amazing!
@@dianal.1279 Maybe it was his first prank on Magnus :)
@@dianal.1279 well he knew it was magnus for a long time so I'm assuming he "forgot" on purpose
Imagine the coach suddenly speaking fluent german. That would have been truely amazing
Magnus cursing in german wasnt that bad, for me as an german it was legit,
well done 🙌
@@fleigmario Same, his pronouciation was really not bad.
I was positively surprised too
cue that italian speaking scene from Inglourious Basterds.
@@fleigmario Magnus is Norwegian, and it has a lot of similar pronountiatons to German. I'm Norwegian myself and noticed when I was in Germany on vacation.
The oldest climber I ever climbed with was a 80 year old woman from the British mountaineering club - the mid 1990s. She climbed harder than me, was fearless, and pushed my limits as a second when she climbed past the length of the belay rope, requiring addition of every sling, and line I had within reach in my kit. On a route that was definitely not suited to both of us off the ground.
Then after my own heart, she down climbed to her previous clip point 35m below her top out, before abseiling off. This was adventure climbing, and she had chosen a route none have repeated to this day.
Damn, wish i had strong fingers. Climbing looks fun
nobody has strong grip or fingers when they start out
@@lydellackerman800 guess ill start tryna climb 😄
@@metabolic2057just go for it dude! Climbing is amazing because it will allow you to use your strengths (legs, back, forearms, etc.) while allowing your weaknesses to catch up. Within 6 months of regular climbing your grip will be many times stronger!
Are you really sure that she was 80 years old?
i _love_ how the instructor isn't afraid to criticise or question magnus. something we need more of
Absolutely loved when he called bs on him not being strong, politely but not letting him get away with it
he knew right away so he was sort of messing with him lol
This coach is a gem. We must save him at all costs.
Save him from what?
@@tylerhollyfield people on the internet apparently 🤣
@@tylerhollyfield i think the phrase is protect not save lol
Save him from people wasting his time by impersonating old men.
if he didnt knew from start... dont save him
I love how the attendant ignores his age and keeps pushing him based on the skills he’s seeing. After the old man says he can’t feel his arms, at 16:05 the attendant says “Would you like to take a few minutes then try something even harder?” 🎉
Because he already knew it was Magnus by then
@@trits3415I’m pretty sure he knew by the beginning 😂
@@nightmareman9960 I imagine it would be hard not to. Makeup is good and all but up close its really hard to fake something like that :D
Because he didn't even look like an old man from the start
1.4K likes and only 4 replies? I shall make it 5
After meeting an 80 year old guy in the gym who’s still in great shape and seeing another old guy doing weighted pull ups, I’ve learned to never underestimate old people
King bumi moment
“First you were a duck then you were a chicken” genuinely made me laugh so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was great to collab with you Magnus! Nice to see you can still climb 7c+ when you're 73
When I get older, climbing a wall, many years from now. Will I still be climbing up a slab so tall? 7c, 8a? What if I fall?
Not just climbing...onsighting.
@@theherk you fall, you snap In half and die
You should ask Chic Scott when's the last time he went climbing. He's 77 now and writes books about climbing and mountaineering.
@@iankrasnow5383 no clue who that is but that sounds like a great idea
As a german guy I gotta say: this man knows how to impersonate an old german climber man... if the instructor was german, he probably would have noticed pretty quickly that Magnus is not actually german, but the body language and the general dialogue... fair play to Magnus man!
He also said at one point : Genau
all the small things. at one point he just dropped a small "oder" at the end of a sentence to turn it into a question, "This one is the biggest wall, oder?" which doesnt happen in english at all but is very common in German. The only thing that gave it away for me is when he yelled Scheiße, the ß was too soft.
other than that, considering that i only watch this bc it was in my recommended and idk the guy, i thought he really is german or at least raised bilingual
@@Smittel It does happen in English, right?
@@SimoBenziane true, forgot about that. still impressive
@@Smittel yeah whenever I hear someone ending their sentence with " You were in Iceland, or?" dann I would smirk a bit 😅
The coach is amazing, even as someone who doesn't climb, I can tell he's amazing and his positivity would be really helpful for someone to learn/improve.
I've had the pleasure of climbing with a Yosemite OG in his late 60's and you can tell off the bat how great they are. He wasn't in 5.14 form any more, but he had the grace, technique and even strength that we couldn't mimic. There was no shaking legs, unsure movement, or out of control breathing. Magnus' imitation was great, but if you saw old man strength, you'd know right away haha
Who you talking about
In fairness, there was a shaking leg alot of the time
I was there when they were filming this, I was fingerboarding upstairs for most of it. I could only really hear Kieran's side of the conversation, and it was a bit weird seeing an old man punting up the 5 in the corner whilst being filmed and wearing a swanky Mammut harness. I was a little more confused when he took a flier off the pink and then didn't crap himself. Finally worked out what was going on when he flashed the 7c+.
+
What’s a flier?
@@jacobrodgers8146 A big fall
You thought it was an old man? Are climbers all simpletons?
@@DamnDealDone Not everyone is thinking that everyone around them is in disguise
lmao you nailed the mannerisms - physically and verbally - of an older person reminiscing. pretty dang convincing grandpa, there, Magnus
I never thought a guy I know for Risk of Rain would watch climbing videos. My world is both small and large.
@@josh0eater0of0happy same actually, I was just watching some of his ror vids
@@josh0eater0of0happy same and hello @Woolie
Holy crap Woolie also enjoys climbing videos with Magnus what small world
Mr Streamer?
10:50 "but when you're old you've got less to live for" Then magnus's non verbal response and coach tryna to change the subject, best part of the vid for sure
A voice-over would be a great a addition to videos like this, allowing you to tell the viewers what's going through your mind while not breaking your disguise
"I guess when you're old, you have less to live for" - the zoom into Magnus' sad face and the coaches reply just cracked me up!
👆🏼👆🏼🤡
@@zacknight9137 they were just laughing at a funny moment you newgen
Took a 20 year hiatus from climbing. At 40, I decided I was tired of waiting for the right time to begin enjoying climbing & backpacking again. Then 2 years ago I quit everything when I found out I had heart valve problems. Gained 50 lbs. I credit Magnus's videos with helping me get back to it. I finally decided it didn't matter what I look like or what people thought. It's not easy doing things I love with heart problems & having gained weight, but I'm enjoying every minute of it! Thanks Magnus!
That's the spirit, keep going at it and enjoy life!
Nice
Keep at it my friend, you've got the right attitude now, nothing can stop you.
Good on you man. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes it's one person leading the way that helps another make a change.
Anybody noticed the "i love with heart problems & gained weight"💀
This is so cool. When the instructor encourages Magnus onto the 8b+ we can all understand what he’s about - he knows he has a world class climber on belay and wants to enjoy the spectacle of a world class climber on-sighting the hardest moves. I know this wall. 8b+ on this short wall is super bouldery, with tough clips.
Lol the way Magnus moves quite fast and the fact his hands haven't aged gives things away lol
I'd like to thank Magnus for introducing me and many others to rockclimbing. After I started going to my local climbing gym my mental health has improved a lot and I feel fit and healthy for the first time after I was forced to stop playing football. Thank You, Magnus!❤
I'm the exact same I started climbing about 2 years ago and it honestly saved my life and I found a new hobby that I love and can enjoy and it's done wonders for my mental and physical health.
@@scablaz Crazy I completely forgot that Magnus (with Juji) and Bouldering Bobat got me into crushing a couple years back as well. Couldn't be more grateful, I've been obsessed ever since!
Me too! I'm 40 and just started indoor bouldering this year primarily due to watching Magnus. I'm awful at it, but it's a lot of fun and I'm enjoying it! Thank you Magnus!
Magnus is a living legend
I second this! So much fun in exercising. Thanks Magnus!
Really impressed by this coach, very encouraging and patient, and really knowledgeable about the history of climbing, damn. I feel like he got slightly suspicious when grandpa didn't clip and he said "you charged past the people I teach" lol
I think he knew straight away since at the end he was saying how magnus didn't look that different
The way he acted and said, "You're strong for 73" made it seem like he knew he wasn't actually 73.
@@LagMasterSam They should've gone for a 53 year old. 73 is just pushing it too far.
@@PelleKuipers I personally know a 73 years old caver who's really fit and active and he moves through caves better than many 30 year olds, so 73 is a viable age. 53 would be way too young.
@@elliott9628 I think the fistbump would have given it away for me
Best thing about this is how great the coach was on the early climbs, and he was so encouraging. As a genuinely old fogey, it makes me think I maybe should give it a try after a 30 year “break”…
Go for it!!!
Just give it a try! And come back to report 🙂
This Trainer is Gold. He just take you and you "shown" abilities as a given while still encouraging you. Also he's positive all the way through, while still 110% professional eg. testing your finger strenght, rope skills and doesn't get sold on "my arms are weak" BS ;-). Heck, I think he could teach me climbing. And I'm scared of hights. And I really likes how he teases you at about minute 20, that the Spanish guy might actually be better than you - not sure if he realized at that moment - but still he's still you best friend while also your drill instructor. Also your actor skills might match your climb abilities.
I was wondering the whole time why the instructor didn't ask "Frederick" to remove his scarf. I thought it might pose a safety hazard, like if it were to get caught on something. Now I know it's because the instructor realized it was Magnus from the jump and probably figured: _Eh, I'll let him keep his disguise on. He's a pro, I'm sure he can manage not to choke himself_ 😂
DUH
The make up wasnt great
@@kiv2193 That, too lol
this staged as hell.
@@brotato654 it was very clearly not staged. Just didn't work out
As a German myself I have to admit that you really nailed playing the role of a German old man with the way you behaved and the way you talked. :D
"scheiße verdammt" :DDDD
Genau
he should've been Friedrich though
"ungefähr 10 meters" :D
As a non-German, it sounded like he dropped the accent on filler words, like "ok" and "yeah", the he said while the coach was talking. Would've expected a thick "ja" instead, but perhaps that would've sounded exaggerated?
I just love your undercover style videos! I thought about starting climbing over a year ago but never did. The past few months you have reignited that spark in me.
Love from Sweden ❤
I love this coach. Not only is he a sweet man and a good sport, but he also sounds like a really good coach, as well.
The amount of knowledge this coach has is amazing. The names mentioned deserve a compilation here in the comment section
he’s my instructor!!
Magnus has mastered the art of climbing like a beginner, as well as being an old grumpy German man. Truly impressive.
It makes me wish honnold kicked of that cliff tbh
ok
I don't think he was very grumpy... but then... I'm German.
@@rainerbloedsinn182 I mean it's the standard "grumpiness" that we have. That is why it might have not stuck out, but what do I know I am also just a grumpy Austrian
Lmao. The real comedy is Magnus being disappointed that his prank isn't working and someone finds out. He needs to climb around non instructors lol
Good luck getting the Irish kid. They have the best sense of humor to just keep going with it and so many encouraging Irish phrases to drop in this situation. "Go on, then!"
I love how he just accidentally started tying the figure eight, realized mid-convo that he isn't supposed to, and unties it to go back to the other knot. What a legend 11:51
Nice catch, that's great!
I noticed he was tying an awful lot and undid the first tie but don't know enough to have realized why. Thanks for catching this man, funny stuff.
Those leg shakes were legendary Magnus really trying every trick in the book 🤣
One trick he did miss-- should've added makeup to his hands. Old people have wrinkly hands with spots.
@@Kaleidoscope_Instructorthat’s what I was thinking too, hands tell someone’s age more than the face does!
I love how the coach is having an absolute blast at Magnus playing the old man.
The coach is a regular coach in at least two of the Sheffield gyms I think, he's a lovely guy and a great coach from what I've overheard from his sessions. Very knowledgeable fellow.
I love how the trainer played along. He didn't ruin your work by just saying "Haha, Magnus..." and so everyone had a lot of fun and we have a great video to watch. It also shows that the human brain isn't that easy to fool. You simply recognize differences when you see an actually aged man and a young dude who wears make-up and afalse hair / beard... and who is also mastering every damn wall like a pro. ;) And thanks for creating a good and funny German accent... I really loved that and how you implemented random German words.
yea, the aged makeup works for a camera mostly but up close in reality you can tell when someone has makeup caked on, or when their beard hairs are just glued to their face as opposed to actually sprouting out from it :D
It's Magnus' body shape that gave it away I think. The trainer clearly knew very well who Magnus is.
I loved the „ungefähr 10-15 meters“. That one felt really authentic.
Well they weren’t using hidden cameras so… I feel like anyone would be clued in that something is up
Yea, that accent really sounds german as hell
I've actually met an old man that calls these "pussy walls" and wishes young climbers would just go climb actual cliff faces. He constantly tells stories about climbing mountains, and even has one about climbing up a burning building to help retrieve a person's child from the 17th floor. All in all, you nailed the performance.
Hahaha
@@magmidt Google really decided it needs to translate "Hahaha" to "haha", as if that was somehow more english.
@@SirKingquote the english wouldnt be that happy lmao
@@joshuaquetel2781 As an Englishman, I have to agree
@@hugodogobob it's true, i was the first "h"
I love how he obviously knew and just wanted to see some awesome climbs 😂
He knew right away. Climbs with jacket, scarf, hat still on... gotta be a disguise. Accent or not, they know his voice, too.
The one coach without social media also happens to be the coach with the most climbing history knowledge. Of course he recognized you! Haha!
While you were hanging out on social media I studied climbing history.
Social media makes you dumb
I love how you made the lower level of climbing ability believable. The sewing machine leg was a thing of beauty.
Yet simultaneously in the way he moves his hips and arcs his body makes you know he is a really good climber
I dunno, I think he overdid it a bit, the contrast between that and what he does the next second is just too stark🤣
It was noticeable he over did it a bit and I could see his muscles move the way it does when the leg is lifting and falling manually. But it was kind of funny to see him pass it off.
I love how much fun the instructor was having 😆
Massive props to the coach!!! SOO encouraging and sweet
Small suggestion for Magnus: I think it would be nice for the viewers, when ever they are naming other climbers a picture of them to show up on screen.
wanted to like but: 69
@@Neldasi Surprisingly, it's 96 right now
Yes and a link to their wiki or social media or something
"if you are not falling, you are not trying" such a nice and high motivated climbing coach.
everything he said was great! loved the tone too, this man is perfect for teaching people skills
The more that time went on the more he was trying to suppress laughter. He knew he was being trolled. Kudos to him for humouring you for so long though.
I find it so funny and entertaining watching Magnus get better and better😂 I especially loved the music that went with his epic moves at the end
As a German, I can confirm "zu, ZU! Scheiße!" is the official term for "take!"
Ja, so sagen wir... 😁
.
I thought he said 'Zug', as in put tension on the rope. But then I'm also not a climber 😅 But can confirm, the German was decent XD
I love these videos
Nice
Nice
Nice
Good

Magnus, your acting skills are AWESOME once again! I had a blast watching and listening to you guys. Also the coach is full of positive energie - really nice!
And as someone who was born in Germany, I congratulate you to your spot on german accent, with the right placed and sounding german word snippets!
Haha, awesome!
21:04 : You always nail the music integration. I love the effort and attention for detail 👍
At this point, whenever a weird guy/girl enters any gym in Europe with a cameraman behind them, asking for a beginner lesson, they are most certainly some manifestation of Magnus Mitdbo
That leg shake at 9:30 had me crying, really good acting Magnus!
Funniest was the insane power screaming 😂😂
@@camelot_crusader3024 Adam's Grampa!
A painful reminder of my climbing as a beginner (started 1 month ago). I guess the only way is...up ^
The teacher is a legend. So patient and motivational. Good man! And Magnus was really into it. Very nice, give the man a Hollywood role somewhere :)
Obviously the world needs a video of Magnus trying some of Johnny Dawes and other UK classic gritstone routes - would love to see him try The New Statesman and Gaia (on a top rope, of course!)
"Oh, yeah, I forgot to get you the chalk!" That loook in Magnus' eyes hearing that! I am literally in tears. 😂
I don't understand as not a rock climber
@@valenz1234 chalk's mostly used for better grip
@@doricy. yeah, but I mean, what does the look on Magnus's face signify?
@@valenz1234 he knows Magnus has a chalk obsession
Reminded me of that one time I was clmbing at two really old men showed up. Their gear looked like it was over 20 years old, even the rope had already seen it's best times.
I wondered if I should say something, because from my POV this was really risky.
But when he started climbing I felt like a fool. Yes he wasn't the fastest but oh man that old man made the 6a i really struggled with before look easy.
When we both reached the top we had a talk:
- Turns out he was 82 years old and came from Saxon Switzerland. He had been climbing for nearly 60 years.
Insane respect for that man, I hope I'm at least half as fit when I reach that age.
pictures or it didn't happen
@@steinanderson9849 hello
Perhaps it was Bernd Arnold?
I was climbing in the Sächsische Schweiz once and there were some really old people climbing the peak next to us, one of them was over 80 as well, maybe we've seen the same guy :D
My grandfather was climbing in the lake district in the U.K up until his death when he was 81 (from natural causes). Maybe the oldest rockclimber in the U.K, and he dressed a bit like Magnus is dressed here. You can read his obituary in the independant newspaper if you google 'sydney thompson independent obituary climber'
Kieran was a great sport, and you could tell he knew something was up, esp when he offered the 7c. Great video Magnus - I love these.
LOL the instructor at the end is totally hilarious egging him on to try the hardest route 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, it was great :D
I loved it! It was brilliant! And what a great instructor, had me literally crying with laughter :)
“When you’re old you’ve got less to live for” nah ain’t no way he said that😂
haha I had to 😅
and then "before you die" towards the end 😱😂
Time?
@@Simon-jv9bm somewhere around 10 minutes 7-10 minutes I think
@@T_gaming28 thanks man love you!
HELL YEAH! I suggested this and I knew you would pull it off perfectly!
Much love Friedrich
that coaches vibe was wonderful the whole time lol. you could tell he was having a blast with you.
When I worked as a climbing instructor 10 years ago, I use to have a pair of old ladies (I believe in their 70s) come in and climb together. It was fun to watch because they were very good and had extremely solid 3 point technique. They weren’t the fastest, but could climb most routes in the gym no problem.
what do you work now?
LOVE how knowledgeable this coach was 8D corrected Magnus's sketchy history several times, and knew of an ACTUAL climber of the previous generation still going strong 8D calling you out XD
You use a lot of anime inspired emoji-faces. Good for you. It's nice to have hobbies.
@@YouLoveBeef Thanks! 8D been using them for more years than I care to admit now XP probably not gonna stop anytime soon ^.^
I find them to be a very useful shorthand punctuation to convey tone when "?, !, And ." Fail to measure up to the full range of emotions I want to convey.
@@chibinecco1981 That's nice. I remember in the 90's in the early days of the internet, we would use a lot of text-based smileys as well when typing. Then when picture emoticons (emojies) came out, text smilies kind of fell out of use. It's fun to see em being brought back. Keep at it my fella.
I'll hit you with my old-time favourite from back in the days ;P
I was born in 2004, but I never liked emojis. Text smileys just... Have more soul, you know?
@@Hydraina Totally! Whenever I think of using an emoji it just feels like I’m trying too hard or something… Analogue is the way to go for me! :D
this is gold!
i love these pretend videos, they always crack me up and they are informative and entertaining too!!
Magnus has always seemed like a great coach...but this guy is fantastic as well. Great historical knowledge of the sport and very motivating!
Magnus out here showing us all these super chill and awesome instructors.
Climbing with a scarf? Not on my shift brother! 💪😂
I don’t like Frederic too! 😂😂😂
Amazing funny video! 💪😎
the instructor is a legend, super humble and kind!
way to go young man!👍👌
i LOVE these videos, hope they never stop getting released
So I have been mostly inert for a while now, spending almost all of my time at my computer. Yesterday I finally went to my local rock climbing gym, mostly due to Magnus's content and I had some of the most fun I've ever had. I'm certainly going back and while I am extremely sore, I am looking forward to the future! Thank you so much Magnus your content means the world to me.
global gamer gonna be global climber in a few years
It only gets more and more fun with time. Keep it up! The soreness fades, but the memories stay
You will learn to love the sore. It's such a good feeling when you've had a good climb!
glad to hear that, basically in the same situation and I can't wait to start climbing once my health becomes better
Way to go man! Keep it up! Your body will get used to it.
As a climber from Frankenjura myself, it was so cool hearing Magnus talk about it! And the way he talked about it (bolts often placed far apart, etc.), he definitely knows it from experience
Fantastic instructor. Loves his job.
I know zero about climbing, but this was hilarious!
The instructor seemed like a great guy.
As a german, it was SO FUNNY to see how good your interpretation of the old german man was xD. I didnt even know that you can speak it :D Well done m8!
As a 66-year old codger, I couldn't stop laughing. This season I will have to try wearing the wool coat, hat and scarf on my 8b+ project. Not the big whips though!
your guides are always the stars. The are so involved and happy. I love the climbing community.
I found Magnus through Storror, and I'm am SO HAPPY that I did. :D Him and Pete.
This man is a legend, and he's funny. Nothing but respect.
What a lovable guy that coach is! When you talk about the 7c+ onsight and he eggs you on to try the 8b+ has to be my favorite part😂
I’m an instructor in NY and part of me is dreaming the the Bjorn Cinematic Universe makes it to my gym someday 😂
Well it's not gonna happen now that you let Magnus know that you know about the BCU hahahahah
He just checked you off the list!
Same in DC!
Thanks for the video old man! Good job!
I love this series so much! Keep it up!
On the rewatch of this, knowing Kieran was aware from THE BEGINNING, that makes Kieran's jokes and laughter after 19:00 SO much funnier. He was trying so hard to play along but at that point he just couldn't anymore and he's like wheezing with laughter xD
Made me laugh so much harder on the rewatch
aww spoiler
Wow, this video made me laugh out loud. They joy of the instructor and his positive attitude and how calm he was on the massive falls was super cool to watch. I'm myself a (gym-) climber for years and most of the climbers and instructors I met were super supportive and friendly - it's a great community. It's wonderful to see how much fun the instructor had and that he played along so well. The German words were funny to hear and actually pretty good (I'm myself German). Keep these videos coming. There are some pretty nice climbing gyms in Munich ;-)
_Before You Die_
Das "Zu" hat mich gekickt - so unnötiges detail :D
Some of the best days of my childhood. Running around my town skating everywhere, laughing and falling all over the place with my friends. Something about the feeling of getting back up to try it again.
What a coach. Increadible man. You have to give probs to him 👍
As a German I can confidently say Magnus nailed the German-ish Accent! Too good hahahhaa
This was so much fun to watch! Kieran leaning into the gag instead of calling you out right away was super cool on his part.
He knew immediately. Neck is super smooth for 73yo. Hands have no wrinkles at all.
Movement is limber and voice is a young man’s voice.
Young kid knew right away
Not to mention he knew literally every climbers name in history
Cheers @ the climbing coach!! The dude seems rad as chit and is for someone I would loved o have climbed with in younger years. I hope you all tipped him well !
I prefer other vids of Magnus, because I don't climb and can't even if I tried due to health reasons, but I genuinely hope that this climbing gym and especially this coach had more visitors since this video. It was a light hearted, pure enjoyment.
