I saw the adding in screws as just trying to be the best hosts they could be. Like it's "okay" if it breaks when they're using it, but they want to make 100% sure it doesn't happen when Magnus is on.
10:45 Adding screws is most likely a hospitality thing. The worst possible thing they could do for a guest is to not make it as safe for you as they possibly could, so please do not take offense because I am certain they do not intend anything remotely close. Think of it as a "better safe than sorry" situation. As always, amazing video, nice vibes, and incredible climbing 💚
As soon as someone doesn't get that it's a joke, the whole thread is going to turn into people insufferably pointing out the same thing over and over again. Edit: Wait it's already happening to someone! lol. There were 2 of them, but now I only see the .jpg guy.
I think this is even more true considering he didn't say it directly to Magnus. The Japanese are famous for giving false compliments, but in this case he's clearly just discussing with his wife
Please tell me there's an Akiyo-centered video in the pipe. She led the japanese team for so long! 21 gold medals, 68 WC medals in total and a bronze Olympic medal, IMO she is the biggest legend in the room!
The most dominant climber is janja garnbret but she is Slovenian, and has blonde hair. She currently has 42 worldcup wins, 8 world championship wins, and won the Olympics
@@alwaysjarron6260 That pink (green, purple) haired is Miho Nonaka. She with Akiyo used to compete head to head, and usually Akiyo was slightly better. Miho few years ago get an arm injury, and she didn’t completely recovered since then. Japan team every year brings new amazing climbers so nowadays it is really hard to say who is the best in their team.
@@miroslawkowalski3613 hard to say since janja also dyed her hair pink for a while and looks considerably more american than miho nonaka so that's probably what jarron got confused with (the flag colours are also red white and blue if we're really giving jarron the benefit of the doubt). The reason Akiyo Noguchi has 21 wins is because she is 9 years older than Garnbret and was therefore able to amass quite a few before janja began to dominate. Even then she is absolutely a force to be reckoned with, one of the goats.
The quality of content you are continually giving us is nothing short of incredible. Not just the big name colabs, but the quality of videos, the effort that goes into them, the clear passion for sharing this sport with so many people... keep it up man! Simple and excellent.
I believe the facility was used to be Akiyo’s family’s milk farm, and then her dad remodeled one of the barns to a climbing gym for Akiyo to practice. Training resources were limited back in the days when climbing was not popular in Japan. That’s why her success makes her a pioneer and legend. Later she got sponsored to build this climbing facility to train for olympic.
They dont have any limited resources anymore, apparently.. They have some very expensive equipment around if you have a sharp eye. Those weird speakers in the gym, cos t 100k+ usd alone. Plus in another video I saw they also have some very expensive cars (Audi S8, Porches..)
Thank you!! This collab is a dream come true! Magnus is the reason I started climbing and Tomoa is the reason I started watching competition climbing. Only thing that could have made it better is if the legendary Ai Mori stopped by for some lead.
Tomoa and Akiyo's climbing gym never gets less insane. It's supposedly seen as one of the top gyms in Japan, except it's not a commercial gym, it's just their private one. The TAMY channel is definitely a recommended watch too. Their videos are pretty good and it's nice that they subtitle them all in English too, despite only being a small channel.
@@androgynousmaggot9389 you'd be surprised how much collaboration exists during competitions. many times the climbres will even discuss the routes together, give tips, etc.
I miss her in IFSC competition so much. She was one of the kind. Even if Janja was more successful it was always interesting to see Akiyo different, often more elegant, beta.
seeing this has affirmed my way of climbing. my dad has owned a gym all my life and seeing the best climbers in the world say that technique is important helps me. i used to boulder and focus on strength but not that i don’t climb as much as i should i rely on tech and it is good to see how humble the japanese are. i watch food videos as well and they are so nice and happy. i love these guys. glad you made a vid. makes me want to climbe more again.
That whole section of climbing with that music is art, both from the "performers" and from the whole production. A film director has a much easier task, just direct it the way it should be. This is basically reverse engineering what fits to the content. Really good work!
It was probably Magnus, he edits a lot of his own, he's had editors before but they usually don't last. I'm not sure though he might have one right now. I just want to give him credit honestly because he taught himself how to do it very fast, and he's pretty freaking good. Knows a lot about cameras with a quick learning curve too. You should watch his early stuff it's really interesting to see the progression. I like both new and old content honestly.
@@auroralane6903This one is edited by Markus. Magnus isn't doing his own editing at the moment. He said that it just takes up too much time so he's passed it on to Markus for the moment. But yes, I agree - Magnus' editing is amazing.
I can't emphasise enough how incredibly good these videos are. The editing, sound and picture quality are simply top notch. The content is so convincing that you don't really notice it at first. Simply great video and yet another super great collaboration. Thank you!!!
Awesome video all around. A perfect example of what makes the climbing community so awesome. Easy way to have fun, be social, build each other up, & so much more. So cool to see Akiyo, & Tomoa here. Will definitely check out their videos! Thanks for doing what you do Magnus!
Amazing content. I could've watched hours of this easily. I'm sure Mr. Tomoa and his crew were busy as usual, but I'm grateful for them finding the time to host Magnus. And Magnus, thank you as always for high quality content.
this video was an awesome reminder that although magnus stopped competing a long time ago and he always talks about how far he is from his best shape, he's not some ancient relic. He's still insanely strong even in super modern climbing styles.
He's so good at modern bouldering it feels like a waste that he isn't competing but simultaneously I just want him to be happy lol. And it would suck if he just kept competing and never did youtube. I probably wouldn't even know his name. So I'm grateful that he chose what he did. We got the good timeline.
You've been on a great run of videos lately, Magnus. It's evident you've reached a new level of comfort in front of the camera. What I appreciate most about you is that you not only get into the mindset of your subjects, but into their shoes as well! You hold your own against the top climbers in the world in a way nobody else on TH-cam can. The breadth of your skill and your adaptability is admirable and makes for very entertaining content!
The minute details in how he gets his weight so close to the wall with internal hip rotation is mind blowing… and using the leverage of gripping the wall to further internally rotate. It reminds me of snowboarding how we can rotate our femurs very powerfully in the hip socket because they’re locked into the snowboard but here the “locked in” feeling is just coming from perfectly placed weight. Mind blowing
Really glad you did that video with Felix, I've been watching a lot more of your videos and other climbing stuff on youtube since then. You've motivated me to start working out again, and even eating healthier. Usually I'd feel gross with myself when I see fitter people doing amazing things, but your videos have been nothing but inspiring!
Best video that I have seen in a long time. I would love to see a "Director's cut" with the full 2 hours of climbing. It is amazing to see Magnus explaining why the Japanese are so good and the feedback from Tomoa was so insightful! I want to see more of Magnus and Team Japan
And also an Olympic medalist.... but here she was kind of an afterthought. Not surprised though, Magnus almost never features women in his videos (except for when he filmed a date...).
Classic feminism on display here. Huge language barrier + massively cut around 15 minute video of a probably 4 hour visit = "I know more about their interaction than they do"
@@PinkMonkeyBird what does feminism have to do op's comment? Is acknowledging a women's talent and skill and wishing for more of that to be on camera bad to you?
I think Magnus it's worried about the views and obviously he is easier to "sell" in a video than she, it's the climbing Word that has to give more attention to women, not a Magnus problem
I feel like it was a nice gesture tho! They didnt want Magnus to get hurt on their own boulders I would imagine!! But with the langage barrier it probably wasnt easy to smoothly explain it without it being a bit awkard haha
My thoughts exactly. They didn't want the lack of a screw to be the reason their guest gets hurt. If I owned a gym, I would be setting new routes all the time with minimal screws; They just wanted to make sure it's extra sturdy for their guest.
So incredibly wholesome to see some of the best climbers lifting each other up to become even better, sharing tips and experience without worrying about ppl "stealing their secrets". I guess Magnus has that effect on people.
Not mentioning her in the title was faux pas. Particularly that she had been competing in the same era when Magnus did, and technically she is still top of the top. Her retirement was way too soon!
Wow, they really did an excellent job at calibrating the boulders to be just hard enough to clearly be a real challenge for Magnus, but also just easy enough to really make him feel good. World class skills all around.
Your japan videos have truly been amazing! First your chemestry with Felix was so fun to watch and Tomoa seems to be such a great guy! Your collabs is such a pleasure to watch. Keep it going man!
Been watching your channel for a while now and this is one of my favourite videos so far. It seemed like an incredibly humbling experience, considering how in most videos you're the surprise factor to people. It's also nice to see how you're spotlighting lesser known climbers who obviously have absolutely insane talent. These guys are real life Tarzans.
This was an incredible video. Seeing you climb with people who are doing climbing for fun, or are just trying it out, makes people forget how good you are. It’s so cool to see you together with someone at the top of the competition right now
Funny coming to this video after seeing the competition one first, and wondering, 'Is this what gave him the confidence he needed to sign up?' You're stronger than you think, for sure! But I love the honesty when you say the screws messed with your confidence, haha. Awesome video as usual! Your story-telling is strong, and getting better and better.
For some reason, this was a deeply satisfying video to watch, I don’t know if it was the chemistry or just the joy that Magnus had That really came through on the camera. Either way it was awesome.
The sportsmanship and friendliness in your videos always puts this massive smile on my face. Thanks for making videos like this and the hundreds of others you've done with athletes who just want to share growth and joy and support.
Damn, epic video.Thank you, Magnus. As someone who is living in Japan for many years but has liked your videos in the past, it's quite interesting as I didn't know that Japan was world class in bouldering, but many of my friends have been very into bouldering here. Might have to give it a go again! It makes sense given the strengths of average Japanese body types over something like powerlifting, for example. Tomoa-san seems like a very humble and dedicated champion. It's great to see people adhering to the beginner's mind and not letting ego dictate speaking and actions. I've seen a few examples of that from people who have seen great success (top 5 manga artist in japan, for example) in other areas here, and not acting any differently than before they achieved such success. Which, paradoxically, may be a reason for their continued success. It's a reminder to focus on your craft, for the craft's sake, to achieve the truest excellence.
I really like the fact that the guys are genuinely supporting (some of their "nice" if said by an English guy I would definitely think is an irony, but here it's genuine appreciation)
Absolutely loved this video. The respect shown and the good humour and humility were beautiful to watch. Was a tiny bit proud when he said you could still compete Magnus : )
I have been binging your videos lately, gonna do a boulder beginners course on Monday, super excited! Your videos helped me so much finding motivation to start something new, so inspiring!
Whoever scored / picked and arranged the music tracks for this video did a phenomenal job. Also the climbing... the chemistry... Magnus's humility... all great. Thank you for making this!
I don't usually comment but i was so shocked to see my two favorite climbers, climbing together and I had to say i didnt see this coming. Thank you so much!
You’re inspiring to watch climbing, Magnus, and its good to see your failures and successes. Please do more climbing videos like you used to. Those narrated gym climb alls were great. Got me to start gym climbing 👍🏼
This was a treat. So much respect to you Magnus. You absolutely crushed that last problem under pressure. What a gym. It’s amazing to see this Japanese team go. The details ! Makes so much sense.
Magnus just out here proving to all the modern comp climbers that if he born maybe ten years later than he was born, he'd be a serious bouldering threat XD
He'd still have a good shot considering Jakob Schubert is 33 and still competing at the top level, recently making the bouldering finals at Salt Lake City.
I dont know much but as far as my understanding of stereotypes go.. you should not trust the compliments of a Japanese person unless you are close friends or something. It is probably just politeness@@giannistek1
@@avlinrbdig5715 What a weird thing to say. You can clearly see that he said it without thinking much because it caught him by surprise how well Magnus did. Can't get more honest than that.
i just got into climbing and seeing this level of climbers even above magnus is just crazy to me so fun to watch and learn from you guys and i really love magnus approach so humble seeking of learning even more
It felt like watching a rocky montage on that last climb, the difference in confidence was palpable and it made it easy to imagine a World Cup Magnus with a little more concentrated practice right after Tomoa said that
i started watching your channel back when you did the first juji collab and finally moved to a place with a climbing gym last year , already climbing v7s trying real hard to reach a point where you won't be able to flash all my projects haha thanks for inspiring a whole new generation of climbers magnus :)
Tomoa is the next iteration of super climber. Magnus as usual was a perfect gentleman. These collabs are so interesting and filled with quality content. Thanks Magnus
OMG i've been such a huge fan of tomoa and akiyo's channel for almost as long as ive followed magnus. I can't believe this collab happened i can die happy now!!! This was such a great video!
Love the videos magnus!! Just got a membership at the closest climbing gym to me and I go 2 times a week and it’s the highlight of my week thank you for sharing what fun climbing can be
Babe wake up new Magnus video! I can't believe this guy got to collab with literally one of the best climbers in the world and Pewds back to back. This guy's a behemoth, srsly!!
I love this video! Seeing the behind the scenes for a climber like Tomoa and Akiyo was so cool. Seeing magnus too the that last boulder was incredible even if he was shown beta, it still shows how skilled Magnus as a climber. Would love to see collabs with other teams/climbers like Sean, Sorato, or Yannick.
I love how climbing is one of those individual sports where you can see both men and women accomplish amazing things. Magnus casually mentioning the number of Akiho's 21 Bouldering World Cup wins is awesome. While most sports heavily favor men, climbing/bouldering is one of those sports where you have a lot more equality. It reminds of how Lynn Hill was the first person to free Yosemite's - The Nose in 1993. Women absolutely crush it in the sport. I remember seeing one of the girls on the Jr. climbing team at our gym crush everyone on both the bouldering and lead wall. I really hope more women (my sisters/daughters/nieces) see these types of positive examples and find inspiration to push themselves beyond any and all stereotypes. Thank you, Magnus! This was a really fun collaboration.
Most difficult lead route done by men: 9c. Most difficult lead route done by women: 9b+. Men are usually stronger, but women are more flexible and have better balance. The natural diversity of rock really balances this out well.
@@blarfroer8066 Well, there's always the debate that climbing grades are completely subjective. And a 9b/9b+ climbed by a woman might actually feel like a 9c for her due to the distance between holds and that. But of course no woman is going to dare to upgrade a route graded previously by a man. Not saying that's the case. Just pointing out that climbing grades are completely subjective to one's skills and strengths.
I saw the adding in screws as just trying to be the best hosts they could be. Like it's "okay" if it breaks when they're using it, but they want to make 100% sure it doesn't happen when Magnus is on.
I agree. They want him to be safe, especially if he hits the hold in a weird way. Japanese paradoxically treat outgroup better than ingroup at times

I wish that Akiyo was given more attention in this video. She's an absolute climbing super star too
totally agree, she's such a legend :D
Not mentioning her in the title was faux pas. Particularly that she had been competing in the same era when Magnus did, and technically she is still top of the top. Her retirement was way too soon!
She's not the world champ lil bro go get offeded elsewhere
Well, Asian countries are not know for gender equality, and women are still expected to retire after they get married in Japan so…
@@ikkiwfh6745Maybe she wants to focus on her baby
Wow, they really did an excellent job at calibrating the boulders to be just hard enough to clearly be a real challenge for Magnus, but also just easy enough to really make him feel good. World class skills all around.
Your japan videos have truly been amazing! First your chemestry with Felix was so fun to watch and Tomoa seems to be such a great guy! Your collabs is such a pleasure to watch.
Keep it going man!
Love when you climb with people better than you! I feel like it gives you a perspective of what the fans go through when watching your videos 😁
The pain in his eyes when he talks about the extra screws 😂
Been watching your channel for a while now and this is one of my favourite videos so far. It seemed like an incredibly humbling experience, considering how in most videos you're the surprise factor to people. It's also nice to see how you're spotlighting lesser known climbers who obviously have absolutely insane talent. These guys are real life Tarzans.
Wish we saw more of Akiyo! She's my favourite climber!
I've watched all the TAMY videos i'm glad someone mentioned their channel!
So cool to see tomoa and magnus climbing together, I hope in the future we see more videos with other top IFSC climbers.
This was an incredible video. Seeing you climb with people who are doing climbing for fun, or are just trying it out, makes people forget how good you are. It’s so cool to see you together with someone at the top of the competition right now
Magnus is always genuine. Even Alex Honnold was impressed that Magnus showed his fear in their free climbing video.
Funny coming to this video after seeing the competition one first, and wondering, 'Is this what gave him the confidence he needed to sign up?' You're stronger than you think, for sure! But I love the honesty when you say the screws messed with your confidence, haha. Awesome video as usual! Your story-telling is strong, and getting better and better.
That was awesome!!!! The japanese are so strong, and they were so welcoming. Awesome collab, really. I could watch 8 hours of this in one sitting.
For some reason, this was a deeply satisfying video to watch, I don’t know if it was the chemistry or just the joy that Magnus had That really came through on the camera. Either way it was awesome.
This was one of my favourite Magnus videos yet! The level and quality of content keeps going up and up
The sportsmanship and friendliness in your videos always puts this massive smile on my face. Thanks for making videos like this and the hundreds of others you've done with athletes who just want to share growth and joy and support.
Loved the video! Would have loved to see Akiyo try the boulders as well, she is so talented!
Damn, epic video.Thank you, Magnus. As someone who is living in Japan for many years but has liked your videos in the past, it's quite interesting as I didn't know that Japan was world class in bouldering, but many of my friends have been very into bouldering here. Might have to give it a go again!
It makes sense given the strengths of average Japanese body types over something like powerlifting, for example.
Tomoa-san seems like a very humble and dedicated champion. It's great to see people adhering to the beginner's mind and not letting ego dictate speaking and actions. I've seen a few examples of that from people who have seen great success (top 5 manga artist in japan, for example) in other areas here, and not acting any differently than before they achieved such success. Which, paradoxically, may be a reason for their continued success. It's a reminder to focus on your craft, for the craft's sake, to achieve the truest excellence.
Good to see a proper climbing video back on the main channel! We need more of this
dude.....that was frreaking AWESOME!!! thanks for the content Magnus! more vids with Tomoa would be great!! he's a badass!
Yay! Was really looking forward to this collaboration! So fun to see Akiyo in the video too!
Tomoa is such a huge part of the development of comp style. What a pioneer! I love watching Akiyo climb too, I miss seeing her in comps!
Fucking top!! I love Tomoa. The guy is one of the main reasons that got me into bouldering. Nice one Magnus. 👍👍
I really like the fact that the guys are genuinely supporting (some of their "nice" if said by an English guy I would definitely think is an irony, but here it's genuine appreciation)
Tomoa is a climbing god. I have been waiting a long time for this collab. Hopefully you get to spend some more time with this amazing climbing couple!
Absolutely loved this video. The respect shown and the good humour and humility were beautiful to watch. Was a tiny bit proud when he said you could still compete Magnus : )
I have been binging your videos lately, gonna do a boulder beginners course on Monday, super excited! Your videos helped me so much finding motivation to start something new, so inspiring!
Whoever scored / picked and arranged the music tracks for this video did a phenomenal job.
Also the climbing... the chemistry... Magnus's humility... all great. Thank you for making this!
I don't usually comment but i was so shocked to see my two favorite climbers, climbing together and I had to say i didnt see this coming. Thank you so much!
You’re inspiring to watch climbing, Magnus, and its good to see your failures and successes. Please do more climbing videos like you used to. Those narrated gym climb alls were great. Got me to start gym climbing 👍🏼
Just amazing video. I love the enthusiasm they had for Magnus sending the boulders! “He can still compete don’t you think?” 😂😂😂
This was a treat. So much respect to you Magnus. You absolutely crushed that last problem under pressure. What a gym. It’s amazing to see this Japanese team go. The details ! Makes so much sense.
Magnus just out here proving to all the modern comp climbers that if he born maybe ten years later than he was born, he'd be a serious bouldering threat XD
"he still can compete, don't you think?"
That has to be the greatest of compliments when that comes from a star like Tomoa
He'd still have a good shot considering Jakob Schubert is 33 and still competing at the top level, recently making the bouldering finals at Salt Lake City.
He is also being a humble Japanese in Japan
I dont know much but as far as my understanding of stereotypes go.. you should not trust the compliments of a Japanese person unless you are close friends or something. It is probably just politeness@@giannistek1
@@avlinrbdig5715 What a weird thing to say. You can clearly see that he said it without thinking much because it caught him by surprise how well Magnus did. Can't get more honest than that.
i just got into climbing and seeing this level of climbers even above magnus is just crazy to me so fun to watch and learn from you guys and i really love magnus approach so humble seeking of learning even more
You inspired me to start bouldering, thank you so much for your content!
They are such a powerful couple! Sooo nice watching him climbing and you also nailed it Magnus.
It felt like watching a rocky montage on that last climb, the difference in confidence was palpable and it made it easy to imagine a World Cup Magnus with a little more concentrated practice right after Tomoa said that
Yeah, I just realized that there was an arc to this video. Really really well done! Enjoyable.
i started watching your channel back when you did the first juji collab and finally moved to a place with a climbing gym last year , already climbing v7s trying real hard to reach a point where you won't be able to flash all my projects haha
thanks for inspiring a whole new generation of climbers magnus :)
Tomoa is the next iteration of super climber. Magnus as usual was a perfect gentleman. These collabs are so interesting and filled with quality content. Thanks Magnus
OMG i've been such a huge fan of tomoa and akiyo's channel for almost as long as ive followed magnus. I can't believe this collab happened i can die happy now!!! This was such a great video!
Iv been waiting for this collaboration. Tamy climbing and magnus
Awesome content Magnus! Great to see behind the scenes of these brilliant climbers and how they work
Love the videos magnus!! Just got a membership at the closest climbing gym to me and I go 2 times a week and it’s the highlight of my week thank you for sharing what fun climbing can be
This is so wholesome to see Magnus learning from these two awesome climbers!
Babe wake up new Magnus video! I can't believe this guy got to collab with literally one of the best climbers in the world and Pewds back to back. This guy's a behemoth, srsly!!
The japan tour is the best videos you've created so far, Magnus! Digger det, vi trenger mer!
Was not expecting to see this collab, but SO stoked about it
I love this video! Seeing the behind the scenes for a climber like Tomoa and Akiyo was so cool. Seeing magnus too the that last boulder was incredible even if he was shown beta, it still shows how skilled Magnus as a climber. Would love to see collabs with other teams/climbers like Sean, Sorato, or Yannick.
Super fun watching you climb with an Olympian, you're such a pro and seeing you struggle is genuinely helpful, everyone can learn and do more.
Two Olympians, Akiyo got the bronze medal in Tokyo 2020.
Holy! I have been waiting for an upload like this for so long. This makes my day! :D
I love how climbing is one of those individual sports where you can see both men and women accomplish amazing things. Magnus casually mentioning the number of Akiho's 21 Bouldering World Cup wins is awesome. While most sports heavily favor men, climbing/bouldering is one of those sports where you have a lot more equality. It reminds of how Lynn Hill was the first person to free Yosemite's - The Nose in 1993.
Women absolutely crush it in the sport. I remember seeing one of the girls on the Jr. climbing team at our gym crush everyone on both the bouldering and lead wall. I really hope more women (my sisters/daughters/nieces) see these types of positive examples and find inspiration to push themselves beyond any and all stereotypes.
Thank you, Magnus! This was a really fun collaboration.
Can’t agree more
Most difficult lead route done by men: 9c. Most difficult lead route done by women: 9b+. Men are usually stronger, but women are more flexible and have better balance. The natural diversity of rock really balances this out well.
@@blarfroer8066 Well, there's always the debate that climbing grades are completely subjective. And a 9b/9b+ climbed by a woman might actually feel like a 9c for her due to the distance between holds and that. But of course no woman is going to dare to upgrade a route graded previously by a man.
Not saying that's the case. Just pointing out that climbing grades are completely subjective to one's skills and strengths.
Timestamp: 5:33
Men are naturally stronger/faster/bigger than women which is why they're better at sports, it has nothing to do with 'equality'.
it always so amazing watching magnus interacting with people so comfortably despite language barriers. it really is such a skill
Thank you Magnus. This gym is just sick :) Watching you and Tomoa bouldering was a pleasure.
I love how Friendly and Humble those People are, this was so good to watch and Magnus did really well
