I tried Alex Honnold's most famous climb - Magnus Midtbø

"Talking to Alex about doing something in Yosemite"
Just to be clear, whatever you may organise or he may promise in advance, you will arrive and he will have nothing but his climbing shoes and chalk and a great idea for something you can still do together.
We love that guy anywaÿs. Lol
🤣😅😇
And a bell pepper for snack. Never forget.
He's practiced the crux now anyways, should be fine
@@eliaslindqvist54Mega vitamin C in the bell pepper and tasted great 😂
Janja exposed?
Would love to see a collab with Janja indeed! Maybe once the Olympics are over, she will have more time on her side so she can appear on the channel then!
Yes we need to see that!
I think she just doesn't like publicity. Hardly appears on much media other than competitions.
Maybe she'll go back to Spain after the Olympics? You could join her and try a lap on la Dura Dura?
@@genieinthepot2455 I think it has to do w her redbull sponsorship
Oh yes, Janja is awesome, love her energy. Collab would be phenomenal
This second channel is awesome. Love seeing you ride a tank, but nothing beats some good ol' bouldering.
Unironically better than the main channel, which has devolved into 'bring your celebrity friend to work day'.
At least he finally learned. More channels = more money. And that worked out for us because I love this new one more than the original because of reasons above.
Camera guy for the win 😂
Nice beta Sam!! But also Tops Off For Power 😂
Yea the Janja colab would be a dream! Happy to hear that you're working on it, she's such an inspiration!
"no rope boulder" "unalive myslef" 😅
Enough with this pathetic language, get a grip of yourself.
rhymes with shoe idol
i love these short stories in between the climbs
Can tell he’s been hanging out with pewdiepie. It felt like he’s taken some of his video style with him here
@@chrishall110 No, he always used to do this in his older videos on the main channel. He's just gone back to doing what he used to
I would love to see a climbing video with Marte like You used to do in the past. Unless she does not want to be in front of the camera anymore. It was always great to root for her when she was getting into climbing :D
Absolutely.
I'm actually addicted to watching magnus, thanks for feeding my addiction with even more top tier content on the second channel 😎
I didn't even realise this was a second channel video until I read this, I just saw magnus and clicked 😂
What is the point of saying "actually"? It does nothing to your sentence. Actually and literally are the most overused and unnecessary words that exist.
@@MaleviahBurned adds emphasis to the statement, it's also just a common English thing just the same as there would be similar things in other languages
I would kill for a video of you and Alex trying Freerider. You could even do it in a multi-episode series. I like indoor climbing content, but I've always absolutely loved outdoor climbing content, so a high quality, documentary-style video series about you getting out of your comfort zone on a big wall would be SO cool.
I really enjoy your "old-school" climbing vids, so thank you for posting them on this channel!
Great having you along at VauxEast! The Boulder Project has claimed many good climbers over the years... Glad you made it ;)
Even if you can't film it, go to Yosemite and climb with Alex and then tell the story later with photos or something. Totally worth it even without the video.
Lol why does TH-cam hate the term free solo so much? Maybe just say 'without ropes or pads'.
You can totally free solo with pads. Doesn't make much of a difference,
Its so weird because other youtubers say it all the time
I heard Joe rogan say one of the reasons he changed to spotify was because oftentimes his videos got demonetized for no reason. I guess youtube saves a lot of money this way.
I think it's more accurate to say TH-camrs believe that TH-cam hates certain words or terms but it may not be clear if this is actually the case - probably there's some sort of sentiment score for a recommendation algorithm but who knows if TH-camrs are accurately judging the output.
Picturing a little pad at the bottom of el cap. Rofl
@@RafaelMachado-zd3pj Not true. Ever heard of the HonnSolo pad?
I can't believe that things is still up! Loving the More Magnus content dude 😎
I always find these videos inspiring. Not only for rock climbing, but also for genuine, earnest content being popular in a sea of memes and click bait. Awesome video.
Suggesting: 1/ do more collabs with the WideBoyz and Storrer. 2/ Show how hard it is to train and summit a 9a sport route outdoors. 3/ Just keep doing what you're doing; it's awesome!
We need more collabs with female climbers, Janja would be awesome, but female climbing scene is full of really talented athletes who deserve more recognition
Yes 🙌🏼🙌🏼
My vote is for Staša Gejo.
Yes yes yes!!
Ya that’s s it. Has nothing to do with the surprisingly high numbers of very attractive Ladies pulling at a High Standard. Back in the Day the “Old Climbers* had a mantra *” Climbing; Where Men are Men & so are The Women and the Sheep are running Scared*
This obviously is no longer Apropos or relevant
Or his sister again, been a while. I love her technique.
I really like this format of video for the More Magnus channel. You seem super chill and not too concerned with being entertaining and oddly enough it makes it so enjoyable. Thanks!
The Nose with Alex would be so great! I hope you could make it work!
I am LOVING all this Magnus content at the moment! So great to see you back just enjoying yourself in a climbing gym.
I love this channel a lot. Now than the main channel even. More Magnus is the new Magnus!
Cool to see you here in the UK magnus! The editing is great on these videos
Perhaps it does not sound interesting for you, but a vlog about a everyday routine would be interesting for me.
It's such a chill and cool atmosphere on this channel! Like the moment, you're almost flustered as not wanting to come as arrogant on the bouldering problem! I think introverts can relate to you so much! Keep doing what you love, don't worry too much and just have fun, this will always be liked and appreciated by the majority of us! 🤟
Video suggestions, id love to see:
Go bouldering with the Raboutou siblings!
Or behind the scenes of an olympic climber preparation for the Paris Olympics.
Yes - a session with the Raboutou siblings would be epic!!
I don't think anyone ever said the boulder problem was particularily hard by itself. The challenge comes from doing it after being on the wall for almost 2 hours without anything underneath your feet.
I was about to comment mid-video that you now need to go get on Freerider for real to see how it compares, but I kept watching long enough to hear you talk about going to possibly climb it with Alex. If you can get the permits to film in Yosemite, I know I’d love to see it (as I’m sure everyone would). It’s such an iconic place-one of my personal and absolute favorites-and seeing you climb there with Alex would be super dope.
Great video all-in-all with getting to watch you do an insanely cool indoor boulder and take down the V9 & V10 after putting some work in. I think the casual conversation to the camera in between attempts gives the video a really nice relaxed feel.
I’m really loving the second channel. 🤘🏻
Id love to see u and alex on such a memorable route... pls make that happen. Also we havent had any kilter board videos in ages if I recall correctly, would be alot of fun to watch u get on some difficult routes there aswell, at least for me :) Keep up the great work, youre the reason why I started climbing!
these casual climbing vids with some chatting in between are great feels very organic
Love how much credit & respect you have to Alex and his climbing.
The Second channel icon image change today has just reminded me that I was yesterday years old when I realised what the main channel picture is haha
Love your work Magnus!
This channel is the best bouldering/climbing content on TH-cam imo, it even beats your main channel. Love, love, love... Keep em comin Magnus.
I would love to see Magnus go to the location of one of the World Cup competitions and then after the competition try out the routes. A commentary after the competition, even if you know the beta would be really fascinating!
fun fact: the word on the wall behind magnus at 1:46 is a name of a Nepali mountain climber Tenzing Norgay Sherpa. He along side with sir Edmund Hillary summited the Mt. Everest for the first time.
His last name was sherpa?
@@deltalima6703 yes we all have to learn about him and pasang lamu sherpa, 1st nepali women to climb mount everest on our social studies subject at school.
It's also an energy drink common at UK climbing gyms (which I'm sure is named after him).
Somehow I find the purple color background for the gradetag at 13:30 to be incredibly satisfying. Something about the color matching with the purple one the dual-colored holds of the problem and the blueish filter of the footage.
On the topic of future videos, would you maybe consider making a video with a climbing/bouldering gym owner about their process of setting it up? You have a bit of experience in the field yourself and might be able to ask some very good questions. And there are a ton of super nice gyms popping up everywhere - Domen Skofic's incredibly lead climbing gym in Slovenia, Element München in Germany, ELYS boulderloft in Switzerland are a few that come to mind in terms of aesthetics and overall quality.
Immediately recognized the gym from Catalyst Climbing videos. Would love to see you collab with Louis Parkinson.
A collab with Louis is long overdue
This would be amazing
Loving these more climbing focused vids. Feels like the old days again. Suggestions for future vids? I'd love to see some more lead climbing. Doesn't have to be outdoors, even the indoor stuff was great.
It's not quite Alex's crux on Freerider. The crux is a thin edge for the right hand up above your head (I think it was a thumb down press so resistance rather than grip) and a reach with a thumb and thin fingers about simultaneous with the left foot extending down to a thin edge. It's clear watching it that gravity is pulling the body downward with that long stem. The left hand hold here looked a lot easier.
I just watched Janja practice yesterday in the climbing gym in Prevalje and the way she moves up the wall is just mindblowing...
Magnus! I started watching your videos 3 or 4 years ago, Recently, I've started climbing and the experiencie has been really enjoyabe so far. Keep up with this kind of content, it's fantastic.
I love the new channel so much. Best energy ~ feels like OG TH-cam bouldering.
The crazy part of Alex climbing free solo, is the moves he makes time after time, where you think his fatigue must be peaking.
Looks like you are in great shape man, good strong climbs. You were talking about el cap, but really, any outdoor climbing would be great since it's not winter time now. Show us some of that famous Nordic countryside!
09:50 Magnus going hard on that Magdust 🙊🙄
13:53 true!
No wonder he had to take off his shirt 😄
you and alex have great chemistry ,i recently watched that free solo video ,one of the best things on internet honestly
This channel is such a gem - as always goated content Magnus
Watching these, all I can say is that the mark of a true professional is making things look so easy that a complete beginner like me can think "yeah I could do that".
13:54 That sound.. on the hardest route in the gym, with that dust cloud... he's so cool man...
I think the pacing of this video is so chill. Just enough time to let each moment breathe and build suspense for the next one.
Can't believe this video is not in the main channel! But I am grateful for more climbing videos anyway
zero people are surprised you flashed THE boulder problem magnus! you're so strong!
I love this (your second channel). The focus on pure climbing and sharing your thoughts is so enjoyable and relaxing.
I was just about to ask about a Janja. She is incredible! Would love to see the two of you collaborating. Love your awesome climbing and your humbleness
❤
Janja is the reason I think bouldering is one of the fairest sports when it comes to man and women.
Bro still needs a pole dancing co-lab.
There's a great overlap in muscle groups for each activity.
My wife climbs V4 with no climbing experience first time, and I can participate in intermediate classes pretty easily - the toughest part is dealing with the thigh skin contac, but a little pain ain't that big of a deal.
That girl andry strong did the collab with would be a great choice. (Anastasia?). She is ruthless and gives zero beta, just like old magnus.
👍
What I love about climbing is the energy you put into climbing a V10 is very similar to a newby climbing a V1.
I would love to see a video with you and Honnold on Freerider!!! If you can get that film permit, that could be one of your best videos!
I feel those "strong and weak days". I have days where I love to throw myself at new problems of higher difficulty, most of the time I just wanna stay in my current difficulty to prevent injury.
just yesterday my boyfriend and i were watching your video and we both thought it would be sooo cool if you do a collab with Janja!! So happy to hear you’re working on it, hope she can appear on the channel soon!
Matching the Beast at the seated pull is the most impressive thing I have seen you do like a miracle to watch
0:13 Alex is now officially Handhold
Man I just want to thank you Magnus... you are the reason I started climbing. Whatever you do just keep it coming.
Would love some more vids with female climbers. Loved the videos with Marte (if she’s still up for it), and the older ones with your sister as well.
Seeing hard bouldering is always a treat. But seeing hard climbing with Janja? Would be amazing! Perhaps something outdoors, even?
Great video! Good to see you feeling strong, and the side conversations about what goes on behind the scenes with filming were nice to hear.
I love Magnus. Also, imagine being so Norwegian than you cover your hands in chalk and still can't tell if the hands are chalked. I wish I could move there... not for that reason, but I wish I could live there.
As someone named Sam, at the end when you fist bumped and said, "Thanks Sam!" Was embarrassingly fulfilling
Dude! If you can climb with Janja Garnbret that would be so awesome. Props to the cameraman. Love the climbing videos.
Hey Magnus, It would be great to see you proyecting on some hard outside boulder like emil does with The Big island. I know that this may not make the more views but it would be very inspiring for a lot of us. Love all the new content
Glad Sam and I had the same curiosity about if that toehook was possible haha
It’s sandbagged in the north of England, specifically Sheffield where Percy Bishton sets. London is kind of soft by comprison
Maybe another Will Bosi collab in the meantime? Also hoping you're going to cover some of the olympics this summer!
Quirky challenges are cool on the main channel, but nothing beats these pure climbing videos.
Appreciate your videos Magnus. Always great production and the best climbing.
Nice vidéo! Appreciate to hear your comments and share your tough.
Cheer to Sam camera man finding the soluce. Hope to see you visiting Quebec/Canada to explore some good bouldering gym!
Man I just love seeing magnus face some hard boulders with some commentary. Love this new channel!
Magnus, come to Innsbruck after the Worldcup to try the men's finals routes and boulders with Janja! 🙌😱
Since you’re in london you could check out the castle climbing centre which is pretty unique! - I’d say the grades are lil bit tougher there as well. Really cool seeing this older style of content again.
As someone who climbed trees all the time as a kid I wish my parents took a hint and got me involved in a gym as a wee lad. I can’t get enough of these videos.
Wow this comment just brought back a memory of me and my cousin climbing to the top of a 50 foot pine. Core memory unlocked.
Magnus has caused my addiction for climbing even though I haven't even started yet
Do it...just do it. Magnus is the reason I've been climbing for about a year now and it literally changed my life.
He got me into climbing to and it’s super duper pooper scooper addicting. Jokes aside climbing has to be my favorite sport, even over soccer which I’ve done for 11 years now. It’s expensive to start climbing but wait for Christmas/your birthday, or if you’re old enough to get a job just do what you can to start climbing. I looked at a lot of videos and I just use endos gym chalk and tarantulaces which are cheaper, but good products for starting out.
I'll start in the summer holidays got my exams now😢😢
Someone should "hack"/"leak" Adams footage from the Dawn Wall like the Deadpool test footage! The drama around it alone would bring massive amounts of attention to it!
I think you’re onto something there
I think you’re onto something there
I think it would be really cool to see you collab with Nile Wilson, Luke Stoney & Ash Watson!
Thank you so much for this channel. Can imagine how much work it is to do both. Great stuff!
Don't always need to be creative, it's still fun to watch you try boulder problems here and there, like you do in this one.
It would be amazing to see you with Alex on the Nose! There's so much history on that line. Thanks for the content Magnus
More indoor climbing videos!! Just watching someone strong do hard boulders is always very entertaining to me
Good to know about Janja- that would be an awesome video and was wondering if/when you would collab with her
Are the holds preventing you to use another hold in a certain way called Beta-Blockers? And if not, could we please start to call it that way?
Would love to see you try climbing in Australia and/or New Zealand!
Janja why not, for sure. But something with another strong woman could be great: Anak, Laura, Julia etc? Or why not Nicolas Moineau, blind climber who redpoints 8a?
Great video Magnus, enjoy the more candid bouldering vids. Just a note: LCC gyms in London are somewhat known for inconsistent grading. As a very commercial gym with focus on beginners I think they might sometimes overcorrect when there are a couple of sandbagged boulders and end up making some very soft ones (like the blue V8). As long as the movement stays enjoyable thats all that matters... but it is sometimes annoying to not know if something is just easy/hard for the grade or if you're making improvement 😅
I see a Magnus video i start it, click like and then play it in 0.5 speed so it lasts longer.
Cameraman did a great job with beta on the last one, what about a video when he is climbing together with you?
I hope Janja responds! As a Slovene, I’d love this collab so much!
Hi magnus, u got me into bouldering n i'm loving it! Glad i found a hobby
We need a video of you and Sharma doing some deep water solo!
YES! x 1000
In my experience, it's specific gyms which are sandbagged in the UK (and some of the outdoor stuff) A lot of London gyms are very friendly with their grading
I wish we get that Janja collab someday, she is amazing
a Big Thumbs Up to Sam
but a big one for you too
what you're still able to deliver in these boulder videos is crazy
Just call Honnolds El Cap ascent "bouldering". He just did a really really tall boulder. Without pads. Also the set problem there is tagged at V7 but Alex said the actual one was closer to V9/V10 I believe, so still quite a bit harder.
