Can we all take a moment to appreciate the irony of Magnus selling shirts?
Well, it is a best shirt for taking off, so...
But you need a T-shirt to be able to take it off
How many other youtubers are known for what they do with their shirts?
It's pretty logical actually. He has a bunch of shirts. He also has no use for them.
Profit!
No irony here.You need to wear a shirt to be able to take it off.
Magnus: the moves in this gym are really big
Also Magnus: I’m just gonna jump straight to the top hold
Love how he recommends the t-shirt, then 5 sec later "it's that time" *and gone is the t-shirt*
Can't take your top off for power if you don't have a top to take off....
I am positive if he does 1 collab with a speed climber and practices for a week he at least gets to 8-9s
Definitely has the strength for it
@@Vass22 And muscle memory has to be huge on this style of climbing. The pros probably can do it blindfolded.
@@seymourglass26 pros train blindfolded
Magnus: "You can't get pumped in 8 seconds!"
Me: "Hold my beer!"
Also Me: "No seriously hold my beer! I can't move my arms!"
My girlfriend: 👁️👄👁️
@@Baby_Bear769... I'm not sure if it's just me being in the gutter but that is fucking hilarious
So, I was typing pretty much the exact same thing, but as I was going to hit enter I thought nah somebody definitely already made that comment. Not surprised.
Me: "Hold my beer! No, really, my arms are already pumped."
Magnus puts on new, fresh, clean clothes. 10 seconds later: covered in chalk. haha
and topless, don't forget.
It wouldn't surprise me if he bathed by rolling around in chalk, sorta like a chinchilla bathes in dust.
Yo there should be a company that makes clothes that looks like there already chalked. It's like ripped jeans but for climbers. Pre-chalked clothes.
@@Ostsol haha this comment made my morning 🤗
@Magnus Just watched your "10 years as a professional climber " video.
I suggest you climb in the slippiest conditions. Soap, oil, grease, vaseline...... then see if you can do a 4B. :D
Does new shorts have secret chalk pocket?😅
A chalk-et!
You should try to do the speed wall as well. You have a lot of explosive power and the holds on this route are pretty good.
@@cookiecan10 yeah would be great. especially if they try to improve their dances together!
A liquid chalk pocket might be nice.
Please go train speed climbing with Magnus next time you meet! This has fast moves, possibilities to dyno and definitely increases your coordination. + I bet many would like to see :D
In your vids, you're almost always the strongest climber in the room by a lot. It'd be kinda cool to see you do a collab in a gym with hard grades with a young pro. As an old guy who climbs kind of hard, I'm always interested to see how I stack up against the young boys; it'd be cool to see you in the same situation.
He would crush all but the best in the world still. He did the strength test a few months back and was stronger than when he was competing. Maybe he has lost his edge a bit with his age, but he isnt that far past his prime, still a monster.
His climbing videos with Pete Whitaker really showcase how different climbing styles matter if you want to see him out of his element and get "schooled" (in his own words).
I also recommend the magnus/wide boyz colab where he gets his ass whipped with crack climbing (also with Pete)!
Or against janja ;)
@@samuelyoung2671 Well, that's why I think it'd be fun to see. How close would he be?
Magnus: let's warm up. we don't know what the colors mean.
my 15 year old brother qualified for U.S speed climbing nationals after only a few weeks of training. his time was a little under 7 seconds, and i'm pretty proud of him for that.
thats actually incredible, lifelong pros cant do that, I understand its a completely different discipline but still
@@raiemie7365 You are ultimately limited by what type of muscle fibers you have.
sub 7 seconds in a few weeks if you’ve never done it before is impossible lol
@@nsnsikdksksksospapap A big part of it is being really strong and having experience climbing. The one thing specific is te beta, and given that it's only 1 15m route I think you can get the beta down quite well within a few weeks
Always a pleasure climbing with you!
- Andreas
I love when Andreas is in the vlogs!
More mma stuff with Andreas 👏🏻
Yeah, I second more MMA stuff with Andreas!
🤘🤩
Go Packers!
Just so you know, you went under 12s in our hearts :D
I love how Magnus's hair gradually gets more chaotic throughout the video
I always wanted you to speed climbing, thanks magnus
Also commenting for the algorithm. But also commenting to tell Magnus that we missed the climbing content!
For someone who's studying anatomy I have to say your backs fascinating to watch as you climb 😂
SPEED CLIMBING!?!?!? YES PLEASE.
Magnus: "You're just going to try to get to the top, right?"
Andreas: "Yep."
Magnus: proceeds to climb up with a camera in one hand.
I think Magnus can get really good at this just by training it a bit
It's very specific training, and if I'm not wrong it's the same holds. It's like comparing running in terrain and running 100 meters
Haven't seen all yet, just trowing out a opinion 😅
With proper beta I'm sure he gets to 8.xx time with relatively ease. It seems impressive already but compared to actual speed climbers 8 seconds is slow.
@@richardhagen9043 Once you watch it, you'll see him make tremendous progress in one session. Professional level? No. But still impressive-enough where it's hard to not wonder what he could do with a few months of practice.
@@seymourglass26 the issue is that the progress he makes is from like 26% of WR speed to 41% of WR speed, which is impressive, but also the area where it is the easiest to improve for skilled athletes picking up a related challenge. The hardest part will be shaving off 0.1s increments once he gets closer to the WR. Still impressive as always tho, I couldn't even finish that.
That yellow boulder at the beginning though, I swear that was en entire body length jump at the top! So cool.
Saw you compete here live, was prob 9 years ago though. Can remember you found a rest before a dyno so you took the time to turn around and wave to the crowd :D
So happy to see you back to climbing videos! Some variety is nice as well but I feel like I can learn so much about climbing from you.
I absolutely agree that speed climbing is about training the same route over and over until you don't think about the moves anymore. It is a muscle memory thing.. The pros look like they are floating/dancing upwards and it's so cool to watch!
I've been looking forward to you guys giving it a try and after watching the video I have to say you did well! 😊
My 17yo son will be so glad to see this. He's only been climbing about 18 months and has an 11.41.
Magnus in some videos can be very serious and stoic. It's cute seeing him be silly some times: "I want to be eevil, but I don't know HOW to be eevil. I'll be nice! You can have the blue one!"
You have helped me so much with climbing. Not just technical but confidence is climbing too! Thank you so much for your videos❤️
Brilliant thanks. I have been waiting for this and requested it a few times.
A colab with a few progression videos would be super cool to see.
Love how you included the Browney song. What a beat! Love your vids Magnus!! I've been a huge support since the beginning!
For someone who recently started climbing your videos are much better then the boulder championship. Great content!
Perfect timing, I was getting curious about speed climbing for a few days ! But to be honest the warm up with bouldering was as much, if not more captivating for me 😂 I had missed it so much !
Watching Magnus and how energetic he is when trying things makes me want to go try new things myself!
Ive been waiting for this.....for.....CENTURIES......WOOOOOOO
missed climbing vids. Hype!
"That's ALWAYS my goal, to impress random people in the climbing gym" relatable
I love how Magnus doesn't call himself pro climber anymore, he is now a 'former' pro climber. Edit: Now that I think of it, it sounds quite sad.
It’s more like he’s an ex competition climber, he still climbs at a really high level grade wise
Even if a former pro climber definitely still a pro sportsman 😆
Well, pro basically just means professional, in the sense that it's for money. The root word of amateur is amour, I believe, so an amateur climber is technically just a climber that climbs for love of climbing instead of money. He's still a really good climber, but he's not getting any younger, so making money in other ways, and climbing when he wants to was always his endgame. There's a reason he invests in climbing gyms, and now Rúngne.
@@wearenthomies9888 Agreed. And it's arguably still his profession, unless he can keep this level up as a casual hobby while working a day job.
I don't really get that. To me, if something was your entire career, you reached the absolute highest level, and remain an expert... like once a pro always a pro. It doesn't require qualification if you're still active in the field. When it's relevant you can say retired, but it's not inaccurate to just say professional.
Thanks so much I was looking forward to this a lot ❤️
My four year old daughter watches this often with me and when the video started she said "why does he not have his shirt is off."
Magnus: "I thought I was fast at speed climbing, but I only did 18 seconds on my first try"
Mere mortal: *falls at first try and do not even finish the damn thing
I love some good old bouldering content.
Love how Magnus knows the irony of him selling t-shirts, so he advertises them by saying "it comes off so easily and fast" hahaha
Yay new video! just got pizza, so I feel extra good watching someone work hard haha
Now I want pizza 😭
It’s nice to see climbing vids again ! The last were also really great but watching you climbing some nice boulders is a real pleasure 😁
This man is a beast! And yes it would be an amazing video to have a peo speed climber learning to magnus the techniques !
A collab with either of the Mawem brothers would be sick. Amazing boulders and speed climbers, for once you would probably be the one who cant keep up haha
Great idea. Stoked to watch this!
I missed the climbing videos so much! I know it’s really hard with Covid, the climbing gyms here are also closed. Either way, I like all of your content and your vids brighten up my whole day!
It's great to see you back in a climbing gym. I've missed these kind of videos. And it would be nice to see you with a pro speed climber.
as for the grading of the boulders i think it is:
White - easiest
green
blue
yellow
red
black
gray
not super sure about the last three though
:)
3:33 Juji: *tightens belt* challenge accepted
Always cool to see you and Andreas hang out.. Really amazing. Awesome as always.
After months of deliberation, reading and watching videos about climbing, I finally started *actual* beginner climbing myself. Man, it's so much more difficult than I thought. These beginners with Magnus are actually pretty awesome. I struggle to even stay on the wall for more than a minute; on the easiest traverse in the hall which is meant for genuine babies. If you think you're bad at climbing, always be sure there are even worse beginners than you who struggle even more. But no matter how bad we are, if we keep at it, eventually we'll get better, I'm sure. There's nothing better than feeling your whole body beat up after a relatively short climbing session. It's the most efficient sport out there in terms of time.
Couldn’t agree more,
Hope you persevered with climbing
YAAAAS I was really hoping you would do a video on speed climbing at some point :D :D
Magnus, come to the US, I'll give you some help with your Speed Climbing. You should easily be able to break 9 seconds with some training. Otherwise come join us at a few World Cup Speed Climbing competitions this year. After Salt Lake City World Cup in May, there's Villars Switzerland in July, World Championships in Moscow in September, in October there's World Cups in Seoul Korea, Xiamen, China, Wujiang China, and the last one with the fastest speed climbers will be In Jakarta Indonesia in November. Cheers!
Great idea!
Olympics?
@@TonyFisherPuzzles This summer at the Tokyo Olympics (postponed from last year) speed climbing will be a combined medal event with Bouldering and Lead climbing. At the Paris 2024 Olympics Speed Climbing will be its own separate medal event and Bouldering and Lead climbing will be a combined medal event.
i have been waiting for this!
Yay! I was wondering just last night if you would ever do a speed climbing video, and there it is ! ❤️ You might want to give the Tomoa skip a try to gain some speed 🤔 Basically, it's a step-up dyno from the 2nd to 4th hold that allows you to skip the 3rd hold that is slightly on the left and thus have a straighter course up. Still a very impressive performance though, congrats ! 🙌
Yeah!!! I was waiting for this one!
Yea a climbing video!!!! More of these please. Preferably more lead climbing videos. :)
Finally back to climbing!! Keep up the good work man. It’s always impressive to watch you climb.
This was fun! Please do it again!
It's so much fun to WATCH you bouldering again!
A strategic chalk bucket placed halfway up has got to be worth at least 2 seconds to Magnus
You can sense the fun and joy in this video. Well done and enjoy the climbing moments amigo! Saludos desde México!
Lovely to see you climbing again!
I really like your cooperation with Andreas :)
Legend says if you refer to him as sir Magnus Midtbø he will like your comment
It worked!!!
@@owleyefilms yes! I'm surprised to be quite frankly
lol
Climbing video!
Nice to see you speedclimbing, you look strong even though everything is closed down :)
Has been alot of great content lately, but climbing videos are always the best for me.
Big up to Andreas for getting as high as he did - just feel lucky he doesn't show you his coolness and choke you out every now and then ;)
Go Pack Go! Magnus, I'm a farmer in Green Bay Wisconsin (the football team on Andrea's shirt) and we're going to start building a climbing gym in the old barn. Next time you are in the states you should come visit!
Missed the vids hopefully you are able to make more soon!
Sogndal is just an absolute amazing place. I miss living there.
Would LOVE to see you do a collab with the Mawem brothers !!
Anyway awesome video as usual, pretty interesting point of view of the speed discipline (:
I'd love to try the speed wall sometimes. All I've heard about it is that it is actually surprisingly really hard to just climb it slow and static like a normal route, as the moves are always huge and depend on this dynamic momentum to flow. So you need to be experienced enough climber to have this kind of confidence to attack it for it to be 6b'ish or whatever it is graded. So not surprised at all to see Andreas struggle with it, pros make it look just unreal :D
Love the climbing videos
Lol, “it’s always my goal to impress random people.”
Glad to see Andreas is a Packers Fan!
I’m not
Norway Wisconsin
Love the climbing magnus. Please keep going
I’ve been missing these videos!
Would love to see more speed climbing progression videos. super cool stuff.
Hey Magnus, a climber from India here, really enjoyed this one because I particularly like speed over the other disciplines. Looking forward to the next speed video.
Any word on when the chalk bags will be back in stock? Your channel got me into bouldering about two months ago. I'm loving it, I'm in the best shape I've been in for some time, and I've been holding out on getting a different bag because I'd like to give back by picking up yours. Unfortunately, a consequence of this is that I've never climbed with chalk before...
It’s probably gonna be a little while. We have had problems with the manufacturer. But they will be back!
Was just thinking 2 days ago, that i would like to see Magnus try speed climbing, so this is a nice surprise. :D
Speed climbing looks amazing. Great video!
We should get Magnus to do some explosive strength training with the Mawem brothers, that would be a good challenge with these beasts
It’s always a good day when Magnus uploads
dude HELL YEAH MAGNUS SPEED CLIMBING!!! this is great to watch
Pro tip, If you play this video on 2x speed, you get even faster.
i hope magnus keep being that happy !!!!
I absolutely love your videos 🔝
Hooray! I missed climbing videos
There is this one guy doing youtube as well. He is not the quickest of all, but you can do other things with him as well. Gues you even have heared of him. But so far, I have not seen you two in the same video. Just ask Alex Megos. Would love to see you guys going for it together.
nice ! a video about dynamic/coordination moves (how to get stronger at this) would be cool !
"To impress random people in the gym" hahahahahaha I think its safe to say this will happen to ANY gym you go to climb at anyway.
Magnus and Tomoa. Let's do it! Seeing that Tomoa's going at 5.73" nowadays (for a boulderer!!!). Plus they can do some bouldering outdoors!
Loved the video! Btw the link in the description for Andreas' channel isn't working, I'm not sure if it's just for me but maybe you can double check it :)
Nothing like a new meatball video to get you pumped (in a good way) to go climbing and get pumped (in a painful way)
Been waiting for this video since you used to number these videos.
I would love to see a progression in speed climbing. Obviously you have still alot of potential in you. Nice Video:)
Really impressive!
Fun to see you on the speed wall! Fun video idea: simulation comp with the combined format.
