    I met Wolfgang Güllich during the 1982 international climbing gathering in France: They had just started their sport climbing association and invited 2-3 of the best climbers from each country to visit for a two-week trip to several of the (at the time) best climbing spots in France. The last weekend was in a limestone area south of Paris where the best french climbers had been rehearsing a new route which they thought one of them might redpoint with the TV cameras rolling.
    The crux was a 4-5m horizontal overhang on nothing but blind one and two-finger pockets, Wolfgang simply did one-finger front lever moves and hung around long enough to feel his way to the next usable pocket, then repeated that process all the way out and into the vertical wall above where he finally fell just before he would have flashed the route. Easily the most impressive piece of climbing I have ever seen in person.

    My first comment ever on a blog because I could not stay silent in front of such humanity sharing moment. As a climber I see so much ego and arrogance usually. With your video you demonstrate opposite. Edlinger was my reference before, now both of you will be on my mind for what you are and what you demonstrate during your climb, elegance, calmness, simplicity. A big thank you, you made my day.

    • @mikerozos1944
      @mikerozos1944 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      My second! Agreed 100%. This video made my day better.

    For me this was one of your best videos. I think you are a great interviewer and a great story teller! I liked the rawness of this video. The B-roll was awesome as always, very cinematic, but I also appreciated that you didn't make too many cuts during the interview. Photos and videos really added to the story. Thank you.
    I don't agree with the liquid diet, but I respect the honestly and transparency.
    Looking forward to the next one as always!
    And the slightly somber music that you used for the climbing part especially after ending the interview on that note. Very subtle, but so respectful. What a solid dude you are!

    • @driklol
      @driklol 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Couldn't agree more, you could really feel when the emotions ran high as Alex began fiddling with the sand. It was like he was telling his story while simultaneously reliving it or picturing certain things in his head at the same time. It was almost heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time . Well done Magnus.

    @ccragrat 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Watching this interview was a real experience - especially for a climber like me who started sport climbing in 80s. Listening to the stories from Alex about the early days of sports climbing and stories about the German legends from the 80's like Wolfgang & Kurt really highlights the evolution of climbing. I think this is one of the best videos you've made Magnus - don't get me wrong the new stuff is great but this video had soul.

    Amazing set of videos set in Jordan! I've been here for 1.5 years now and it's cool to see others experience it as well. Also, while I understand the lack of comfort with the word jihad given how it is used by extremists, the word in Muslim tradition means the personal struggle that one has to go through to be the best Muslim they can be. I think the meaning of personal struggle fits quite well for a climbing route!

    Magnus, this is hand down the BEST video that you've made. I really enjoyed your series of videos with Adam Ondra but this video just hits on another level. I've been to Wadi Rum in 2020 right before the world closed down so this feels really nostalgic as well. I haven't climbed there since I started climbing only 6 months ago. One day, I'm gonna return to Jordan and climb there as well.

You captured the special mood during the interview and the climbing so well (with the help of the music and camera angles - thanks to Jan and Tommy who helped you). This video makes you lean back and think about the pioneers of modern climbing, about yourself and stuff, and that is what makes it so good! Thank you for that!
