Man, what a great interview! Alexander is a legend and such a charismatic guy! One of your best videos ever, Magnus.
Fantastic Magnus, Great sportsmen, big social heart and also a good interviewer. You keep suprising me.
Wow! Is this a national geographic short movie?? Beautiful shots, an interesting, chill and empathetic interview, and great climbing... We can't ask you more magnus!! Keep it up! Cheers from Italy!
One of your best ever Magnus! You're a great interviewer.
Tom
Thanks Tom! Hope we can do something together at some point:)
It’s only a matter of time!

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.
is there video of this?
what a gift to have been able to witness this.
oh...and there was me thinking this video was about alex huber...:)
Terje Mathisen: are you the assembler programming legend?
@@patrickareny2551 Yes, I guess so. :-)
I had just started my professional programming career in 1982.
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.
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!
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.
I know why you disagree with the liquid diet, you're already Slim.
regarding liquid diet: its not stupid if it works haha
Dust in the wind and playing with sand between our fingers... "but that's life". Simple, real, uncut and emotional "unofficial" interview, great talk!
Well said Alina !
Yeah, I felt that too. Felt like I was there with them.
I am a huge fan of alex. I watched all the movies and read a lot of his book .... but this was by far the best interview I ever saw from alex! great jop magnus :)
I agree, very very good! Interesting stuff coming up like huge freeing potential in Yosemite, and Wolfgang being the strongest by far. Change that camera dude, though ;)
Also fully agree with you!
I have been following your channel Magus since nearly the beginning but missed this one. One of the best and so raw, passionate and emotional that interview. Please do some more like this as it was amazing. And the beauty of that climb in that location is next level.
This video is a real gem. Most underrated and underviewed video of yours I would say.
Magnus, this is hands down the best video on your channel - interview, Alexander's charisma and the climbing, 10/10
and music of course
Living legend. The Hubers and Lynn Hill are the kings and queen of the free climbing scene. They were doing it in the early 90’s, wow.
As a climber and an alcoholic, Alexander's diet blew my mind ! Thank you !
Wow, quality everything. When the music cuts and all you can hear is the desert wind as you near the top it felt like I was there . That was next level
Speechless. When legends speak and you can listen in. A true pleasure to see Alex climbing - his style is the definiton of elegance. I love you for this video Magnus!
I've seen a lot of your videos Magnus, but this is still one of my favourite ones ever. It's beautiful, professional, raw and emotional. A work of art.
Thanks so much for this awesome video! You legit make me want to climb every time I watch a video, so I'm going to do just that.
Got to meet Mr. Huber per chance while hiking in Osttirol once.
Very inspiring and reflected person, it‘s still crazy to me what they did back in the days.
Your quality of production is far above standard! I really enjoy watching your channel. Thank you very much! And this one is special as well, as the Huberbuam were Icons for me in my youth, as they live close to where I live! Keep it up ❤
damn, this is like a legit documentary
Alex Huber is for sure one of the most impressive climbers there is. Fantastic video as always! Its amazing to see how graceful and relaxed he is climbing although he must be in his 50s now.
Such an excellent talk you two had. It's nice to hear some of climbing's history from a man who lived it!
Excellent video as always.
Zen !! thumbs up!! bring him to Norway again
One of the best interviews I've ever seen with legend Alexander Huber. Very intimate what he said about Wolfgang Güllich. Thanks a lot.
beautiful homage to Gullich, Albert, and Huber all in one...so thank you! I bumped into Kurt Albert twice in my weekender travels in California, USA and he had also the same down-to-earth compassion as Alex showed. All good men and I only wish you had something of Huber's dad to see....
Fuckin awesome ! Nice to see that not only is Alex Huber a world class climber, but also a really cool and down to earth person .
Hey Magnus u are the reason I am climbing ❤️ love ur vids and ur editing in the last few vids have been next level much love my dude from Australia ❤️
Alexander Huber absolute LEGEND!! So good to see his worldly attitude, humility, living the dream, gent. Utmost respect.
Thanks
When Wolfgang died, it cut the heart out of the climbing community world-wide. It's both heartbreaking and inspiring to see that he's still missed and remembered as much as he is.
Beautiful and sad stories about people we love and wanting to do what makes us happy. I think this video sums up life... Beautiful
Amazing to watch how calm and smoothe Alexander is climbing.
Lmao 18:51 that flake sounded hollow affff XD
That was really beautiful. The interview, the filming, the music. Just wonderful.
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.
This is your best video Magnus. Love when you have strong climbers on the show especially icons like Alex.
More Climbing with Alexander Huber Please ! such a nice and iconic guy :D
Now that's what is called a quality video. Thank you Magnus
as a big Huber brother's fan since my childhood I really thank you for this lovely video.
Magnus I have enjoyed all your videos already after joining off of Jujimufu! I'm already ecstatic of the subtle changes you have made to your channel to improve! I'm stoked to see what you will bring to the table in the near future! Keep up the great job!
Thank you for this emotional video🙏👍😎
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!
Love that old land cruiser @1:35 - I've got a 78 FJ40 myself, cant wait to finish up the transmission rebuild and get her back on the road! Great vlog as always. -
cheers
Awesome. I’ve gotta finish the bodywork on the fenders, do electrical, and then interior on my 71.
Brilliant chat with such a legend and love the fact he still climbs with his dad
Perfection! Touched my heart.
Alexander seems like a very cool and calm guy
Awesome filming, great and honest interview in a perfect setting!
definitely one of your best vlogs ! Such a legends !
Time and time again I'm just so amazed by the amazing quality your videos have. Not just the cinematography but also the stories and the climbing. None of the others even come close to your videos.
What a fantastic video! You feel how passionate Magnus and Alex are about climbing and that it means a lot to both during the interview. Watching that felt so chilling.
Loved your vlogs and especially today's style of shooting. Really cool getting a history lesson and having you interview such a legend. Really well done with the shots, its unreal.
Alex is such a great inspiration to me. I can't wait until January when he'll be giving a slideshow in my hometown
Can't not leave a comment on a video like this. I really appreciated every single aspect of this.
I love it, when mountaineers talk with montaineers :) Thank you !
Thanks for the extended interview. As someone who just started climbing this year it is great to not only see amazing climbing but hear some first-hand history. Your best video yet!
You've been stepping up your game Magnus. Every video is better than the video before. Keep it up!
What an amazing vlog again Magnus, keep them coming please! I look forward to them coming out every time!!
Man, can't wait for next summer, when you two meet again! So stoked to see both of you guys get along so well. Keep it up Magnus!
Great great great interview, pure gold! Thanks for sharing :)
Truly breathtaking! And the interview was great as well! Everything is spot on on this video from music to editing! :)
Incredible landscapes, and the best vlogs hands down.
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.
This episode was truly amazing. The interview with Alexander was just amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us ;)
Stunning Vlog! Great how you did the chat with Alex. One of my favorite vids.
This vlog is another level.... You have a real interview skill. Great video... Nicely put together! More like this please
Such true quality content in this episode! This is so so good! Awesome stuff, keep up the good work 👌
that was excellent. really excellent. loved the climbing footage too, really interesting to be able to watch footwork so close up.
I rarely comment, but this time I couldnt hold back. Fantastic work, great documentary and interesting personalities! I love everything about climbing, It has become a huge part of my life! Thanks Magnus and Alex!
Can't believe how good this is. Well done Magnus
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing these moments with a legend. It's great to have a future legend interviewing a current one.
Wow great video Magnus, love the interview with Alex and the awesome climbing footage. Keep up the good work, your videos are very inspiring😎
I loved this episode. It was emotional, well shot, just all around great. Fantastic Magnus. Makes me want to train and climb outside right now!!
Never forget how fortunate you are. Always meet the thought with a greatful heart, a willing spirit, and of course, a huge smile in your very being. Thank you for sharing your life of choices! We reap what we sew. A life of proper choices lends itself to greatness. Thanks for the courage in your life that bares this out. Always, great job!!!! david
Great Video Magnus! I look forward to your videos and they really motivate me as a new climber!
Wow!. The interview was amazing. It was so emotional.
the videos are getting better and better. keep it up!
Awesome content Magnus!! Alexander is such a sound guy and amazing climber, loved the video, keep up the good work man, you rock
Actually one of my favorite interviews I ever saw of Alex. He just opened up wihile you were quiet in a way. Great work.
Huber is a great guy and was really one of the strongest out there ! Cool you did the interview.
Ive seen all your vlogs. This was the best one by far! Alexander Huber is such a legend
Wow. By far the best video from the trip. Love how you interact and touch on some deep and human subjects. You did a great job with getting Alex to open up.
This was a fabulous video great interview and watching you two climb is so peaceful and methodical.
Again a really great atmospheric video and a very deep and interesting interview with Alex Huber. Chapeau!
One of your best videos Magnus. Great work. Thank you
Amazing interview! Probably the best you’ve done... thanks to Alexander and you for this moment 👌
I watch and listen to the vids you make while I try on the hangboard I honestly like the conversations and techniques and climbing stuff you generate from the content you produce keep it coming
The first part of this video feels like a really good talkshow or podcast. So great to see you chatting & climbing with Alex. Loved it.
Much respect for your video Magnus! Atmospheric, great choice of music and picture. Also I think your interview style is very empathetic.
Awsome great work man. Probably the best vlog I've ever seen. Thank you so much. Great to see the Olds and the Youngs loving the same things.
And a super nice reminder to the basics and our all time hero Wolfgang.
Thanks ❤️
One of my favorite videos ever. Thank you Magnus
One of your best videos, Magnus. Amazing to watch! 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!
Awesome interview!! I saw a lot of your videos but this is the best one so far!!
Hands down, one of your best videos. Great work Magnus! Thanks for sharing the flame / Psych!
Such a heartfelt video. I love this.
Thank you for that video Magnus. Great interview with Alex Huber - very honest!
Dude.....this is easily one of my favorite videos ever. A really good buddy of mine is cut from the same cloth and dude, I could just sit and listen to the legends from the golden era of climbing talk all day....big respect to Alexander and Lynn and all of the legends who are still around doing their thing. Got a little choked up listening to him talk about Wolfgang. Wow......#Legends #Respect
incredible series!
Just watched this video again and have to say this one of your best compositions! Such a genuine conversation.
Super nice episode!!! really really beautiful and meaningful. Thank you very much Magnus. Very inspiring. All the best from Bremen, Germany

Love this video! What a great interview and a beautiful spirit.
