The longest man-made climb in the World - กีฬา
That guy is such a mood: calling down to belayer “I’m scared”, the swears, “they forgot to put holds here”, holding clips. Love him
feels like me climbing with buddies when I was 15 but in a good way lol
What a personality lol
This guy is me climbing.
Literally me last week. Just like... not on nearly anything so cool
we loved cedar
I just love Magnus' randomness with all his videos. Muscle beach, hottest marathon, pretending to be a beginner climber, and now this. Keeps us entertained so well 😂
Agree for sure!! It's so nice
Learning to free solo with Alex Honnold, Alex climbing one handed and filming while coaching Marcus up a cliff is one of the best things I have seen on TH-cam.
@@robmanueb. for real. Now that's content
@@robmanueb. It was a REALLY good video. AFTER it was finished tho, had my heart pumping too hard watching it! :-)
@@elwhagen I had to force myself to let go of my desk at one stage.
Cedar doesn't give himself enough credit. That's an insane feat no matter how many times you rest. Both of them killed it.
@@ericastier1646 I think you did just watching him ya doofus.
@@user-lo3zb2yi9e no i laughed at him you wormus.
@@ericastier1646 that "nerd" is more fit than you will ever be now go eat your hotpokets or smth
@@ericastier1646 Lets see you do it then mr keyboard warrior
@@FG-td4vs fallacy and strawman ! you don't have to do every feat on youtube to comment freely and openly about it.
Cedar is such a likeable dude, what a great energy to have as a multipitch buddy!
i found him seriously geeky and slightly obnoxious. on the wall he was shaking madly and very nervous.
you should go try it and send me a video of it @@ericastier1646
@@ericastier1646 yeah, I wonder why?
@@RookieDev exactly, why did he not quite fully trust Magnus belaying, for a while. He acted like he was going to die.
@@ericastier1646 I dunno brother he said at 11:17
We need more magnus/cedar content. They’re such a natural duo
yeah it was really good duo i think too! good communication and supportive all the way, good vibes in this one!
Cedar Wright is a great partner for everyone he's with! Been a fan for years thanks to REEL ROCK films!
Cedar is amazing, and you're completely right, their personalities are so different that they mesh together perfectly. Super fun dynamic there
They have great chemistry together... very funny and entertaining.
Almost as good as Chris Rock and Will Smith…
One guy in Poland is working on turning and old factory chimney into a climbing wall. The route to the top is going to be 252 meters. The opening is planned in May. Come visit Poland when it's ready, Magnus! :D
That is so awesome! Makes me really want to visit Poland
Wow, where exactly?
It is happening in city Szczecin, close to the PL-GER border. They already have approx 50 meters done.
That’s super sick
@@jakubdudek2403 hi! do you have a link to the project?
The amount of faith you guys have on that rope is just unbelievable.
Typically a sport climbing rope is going to be rated to withstand 20 kilonewtons of force, which is enough to hang 3 Formula1 cars simultaneously
It's honestly easier to have faith in that then in the typical car.
The rope you tied yourself and it's easy to understand.
@@TedWilliams1 i mean, even if it's a good rope, are u really trusting that it is stuck well enough on the wall?
@@gustqm8888 Yes. There's always risk but typically you tie in to two or more independant anchors so if one blows you still have a backup. It's about as risky as riding a motorbike. Something could go wrong beyond your control but life is for living
@@TedWilliams1 No motorcycle riding is more dangerous on statistics. Anyone who rides a fast motorbike for over a decade eventually experiences a serious accident or the death of other bikers friends.
Didn't know Cedar but what an amazing climbing partner to have. Genuine, fun and super supportive. Good job on the send. The echo of cedar's voice on the fall really tells you how big that wall really is.
Cedar is so awesome, anybody who hasn’t watched other stuff involving him is in for a treat when they go to catch up.
Him an Alex have really great energy. I loved their Antarctica expedition video and their sufferfest series
I have never seen him before, actually seems like a good guy
@@milkdrinker5966 Cedar wright. Definitely worth looking up his films if you haven't already.
The video he made with Brad Gobright, Safety Third was awesome!
New here, who is Cedar?
You just reduced my exam stress ten-fold. Also making me procrastinate more. Thanks Magnus!
Same 😂
yep me too lol
Me right now lol
Gep
Same
Proud to see the jamming and that it was 'easy peasy' ;)
nice work magnus
Amazing video Magnus! Watching you and Cedar climbing from our route on the right made it look so epic.
I don't really care at all about red bull the energy drink, but I really appreciate how many events the company does to so many different sports. This event must have cost them a LOT, considering how much climbing holds cost.
Also I'm sure Tom and Pete are smiling seeing you do the crack with crack moves instead of going full power! 😆
Yeah at least they do something good with all that money.
Actually that's what Redbull actually does to make money... The drink is just a side business, there's not even a "red-bull" factory... It's produced by license
Doesn't mean it's bad...
It's a brilliant media marketing empire....
@@xistsixt ???? Redbull made $6B from drink sales in 2019. The drink is the business, even if it's produced by a thai licensee. Everything else is marketing, it doesn't make money directly.
@@xistsixt Lol what? The drink is absolutely their main business, and the income from the drink funds everything else they do (sports events, F1/esports/football teams, wild one-off extreme stunts like Baumgartner's jump from the weather balloon, etc). F1 teams (any racing team really) and sponsoring events and tournaments eat up a TON of money and don't turn a profit on their own - the benefit is purely to get eyes on the "Red Bull" brand and get people to buy it. The company generally spends around 30% of its income (which is almost entirely from the drink) annually for "marketing", which all of this stuff would fall under.
@@SilverScraper Answer in 2021..Red Bull sells eight billion cans(!) of their energy drinks but it doesn't manufacture any drinks at all. So how you want to get 6 billion$ out of that if you make only a fraction of a dollar for one can...? How you want to finance a F1 team with that? And Soccer team... And a flying WW2 Museum... And so so much more...
There are multiple documentations that they make more money out of marketing the events and producing media out of them. What's brilliant in my opinion.
It's funny to watch Cedar get gripped here knowing the batshit insane stuff he's done in his career
Sucks to get old. 🤷♂️
@@Snugglez187 He ain't old yet.
didn't know him, looked like a beginner to me especially his mental, extremely nervous.
@@ericastier1646oh stfu, hes clearly not a beginner, beginner wouldnt even TRY such a climb
I always love watching Cedar climb because it’s rare to see a pro react like a normal person 😂 I wish he did more with his yt channel, pretty much hav to wait for him to pop up in a random climbing doc
Man, this had my palms a bit sweaty, lol! I started climbing in some gyms a few months ago. The tallest wall I've climbed is 35 ft tall. I was taught how to lead climb, and I can honestly say it fricken changes the mentality. Easier climbs feel much harder on lead, and I'm only talking 35 ft here! These two guys are incredible, and very brave!
It makes me feel better about my own personal fear management knowing that someone as legendary as cedar still can get a bit nervous on a bolted route, or pull on the draws etc. I'm definitely too hard on myself about that! Rad video, thanks for sharing!
exactly this 🙂
Im not even a climber but super jealous about having opportunity to try that!!! Can’t imagine how tempting to try it for people who climb!💪🔥
"Not even a climber" said the beast! You are amazing
You are an awesome climber!
@@sq5thank you guys!💪
It's pretty funny anton, that you consider yourself a bad climber because of how good of a gymnast / Ninja warrior. For most people you are an amazing climber!
Bruh haven’t you sent like V8/9?
You’re at least a high intermediate climber.
This video is just a reminder to just how great a climber Magnus is. True grace on the wall. So damn smooth and controlled.
He is a power beast. He can one arm pull up and stand ! His grip is like a vise and his short legs eliminate extra weight. He is a top expert but the highest form of climbing is technical and uses more hips and legs, not as much power.
@@ericastier1646😂😂😂
@@vudunrg1039 I edited my comment. Not as positive.
It's always nice to hear that even guys like these two get scared. They just climb through it.
That other guy's hands were shaking badly just before he fell loosing his nerves.
He pedalled while falling, he was close from a mental freeze.
My hands are so incredibly sweaty just from looking at you two climb the wall. Insane
Make sure you use your chalk then!
I can totally relate with that :D
Yup, mine too! For the whole video.
same here and my feet too
Same! Dripping wet
The wall looks so sketchy yet so sick at the same time
This, along with your free solo with Alex, are my absolute favorites of yours. This is such incredible climbing, on such an interesting crazy wall!
My toxic trait is thinking I could do this when I've never bouldered before, and I'm scared of heights. (You guys make it look so easy, Keep up the good work.)
try it bro. you can star from scratch at almost any age and fitness level. I tried it and got hooked immediately. it's the fastest I've fallen in love with any sport. try it and you won't be sorry.
This is real climbing, and I loved every part of the video: Being scared, making sure your partner's 'got you' (knowing they're one of the most experienced climbers on the planet), then trying, falling and laughing. The feeling when you make it. Climbing with different skill levels, different experience levels, coaching one another, and never forget to have fun ❤️
Also:
-Magnus crimping footholds
-Cedar chilling on safety 😁
Well done! You didn't fall once AND did it with your shirt on lol. It was nice hearing the interplay between the two of you as you went up. That is something we rarely get to hear when you're out climbing routes with someone. Very cool.
He was lucky he didn’t fall, look at the way his partner belayed …
@@Mike-oz4cv What's wrong with it?
@@Mike-oz4cv he was freeclimbing essentially, would have died on a fall..
@@trigger9285 Not holding the rope, leaving 10m extra rope hanging etc
Dear Magnus and cedar. I really want to thank you guys to show how real you are. It was so wholesome to see how you talk each other through all the scared moments and being supportive. ❤️ Thank you for this content and please some more of you 2 💜
Grew up admiring Cedar and still do!! He's such a great personality in the climbing world , you can't help but love him!!
I've said it before I'll say it again, Cedar Wright is one of the most genuinely good human beings I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I was a summer Intern for a gear manufacturer back in college, and was lucky enough to travel to the Outdoor Retailer convention. In between working shifts I would just wander the show and see all the newest gear, but when I went over to the Black Diamond booth, Cedar was sitting in the middle of it having a meeting with one of the designers about what I think was a backpack (?). So I'm a bit star struck as an 19 year old kid who is an absolute NOBODY, but also just trying to see what Black Diamond had. Cedar stops his meeting, stands up, walks over to the other side of the booth and shakes my hand asks how I am doing. We chat for a few minutes and he has to go finish his meeting again.
He didn't have to do that, I wasn't going to interrupt, but he took a genuine interest (Or made me feel like he did) in me, how I was doing, and just wanted to say hi. I loved Cedar before that moment, and since then he has continued to be the awesome human I met probably 10+ years ago.
Look at the way he belays. That’s a human being who doesn’t care about the life of others.
I can always count on you magnus and the team for reminding me of my fear of heights when i get these thumbnail notifications at bus stops 😂
Big respect to the camera men who put up all the climbing holds and rope anchors.
Loved this. I would LOVE to see a series of adventure climbs with Magnus and Cedar!! Really great combo of personalities!
dude I love magnus’s content. it makes everything he does so much more interesting (as if it wasn’t already) but the story telling and the drive that the viewers can follow along is something definitely inspiring to all
Whomever engineered those routes did a great job. Looked really difficult but rewarding and had a whole bunch of everything.
I wish they could write a book about this feat. They barely speak about how difficult it was to set up something of this scale on the short-film :(
Whoever* I love using whom as much as the next person, but whom is never the subject. An easy way to remember it that I learned in Latin is "direct object, to, for, by, with, in whom".
Prob a nerd who doesn't really climb but just loves calculating routes he sees in his mind
I once "free solo'd" a side of a cliff at a beach at 13 years old without knowing how to climb, I crossed like 20m from one side to the other without climbing experience and nearly gave my family a heart attack lol.
Your video with Alex Honnold makes me remember that reckless idea and how intriguing rock climbing felt to me as a kid, I think I should really go to a bouldering gym and see if it's something for me haha. You're an awesome role model and world class climber, love the vids lately!
Magnus and Cedar are an awesome duo that’s such watchable content , good vibes, good friendship and unreal climbers
Oh man! Haha! Cedar's climbing is so entertaining to watch. So happy to see a professional climber getting pumped on a 6c!
Thanks Magnus for a great video, as expected!
It was refreshing to see his casual attitude about the climb, but his serious approach to safety and communication with Magnus.
his belaying is less so. dont think i saw a hand on the brake once this whole video
@@GoldenPoopD hmm, that is a problem. Didn't realise you could see the positioning in most of the video.
@@GoldenPoopD it's a seasoned pro climber, you know he knows better
@@8scottyt His safety is actually really bad - blocking the grigri, clipping shoes into the only thing that holds you, the way he grips the carabiner etc.
We need more Magnus lead/sport climbing content!
I feel like it's been ages since you did anything on a rope & I'm totally all for it - sick video!
What a great combo! You two have good chemistry with your personality types. Keep up the great work!
Always good to see, that pros are humans to and say things like „you’re basically on Top Rope“ or „you’re on short leash“. Makes them feel not as crazy as in the movies. Especially a bad ass like Cedar.
Honestly glad to see some good old fashioned sport climbing on the channel. Miss watching you doing the hardest leads in your gym!
I love how you guys are just casually having chats while also communicating about safety in terms of being so freaking high up there.
The fact that Magnus wants improvement from others makes me love him, he wouldn’t care if he “lost” he just wants to see his fellow climber improve
That was an amazing achievement! Well done! I wish we would've seen more of the part where you got up at the end, almost uncut, ascending upwards into your triumph. Also the part where Cedar did the squeezy (clamp?) hold. That was his time to shine and we barely saw it.
I don't even have a fear of heights and I was getting cold feet watching this 😂 nice climb you guys! I'll stick to skydiving: you're SUPPOSED to fall there
My fear of heights kicked in just watching this. Damn.
Don’t you mean “dam”? 😂
Tee hee. I see what you did there
These climbing videos are the only videos that can literally make me sweat. Nothing but tremendous respect for all the brave folks that do this 💪🏻🔥👍🏻
Have you seen radio tower maintenance climbing?
Of course it's technically much easier being ladders all the way down, but the lack of a wall makes it look even scarier.
@@Yora21 I have only seen quick clips but they are totally in the same tier some general parkour vids are over the top too
this is crazy awesome props to that guy for doing this on camera it was clear he was a little nervous
When his shout echoed through the mountains i got chills
This video made me realise why I think Magnus is so likeable. He just gets on with it, no complaining, just does it.
Good point! I'm going to adopt a similar approach in my own life, I've noticed that negativity has begun to creep into the corners of my speech and I don't like it!!
Well for him that's not hard. He used to complain more before for many reasons. He doesn't do it anymore cause he realized he did it so much when editing his videos.
Yo magnus, great climbing as usual 👌 I went to a climbing gym (UK) for the first time in my life yesterday with my best friend. We both had a great time, and I was able to tell help him and myself a lot because of your channel. I actually managed to get a couple 6s and flashed most of the 4s and 5s! Even though I've always climbed trees and messed around, I just wanted to thank you, because that was mostly from your videos that I did that. I will keep saying it - I would love to hear more from you with whatever you're willing to share (whether it's climbing or not). I'm waiting for the day when I see you on a podcast of some kind haha. Hope you're well brother 🙏
Cedar is an absolute delight in this! So funny, and so much character. No one saw you grab that quickdraw :)
I have pretty severe ADHD and even with medication I find myself switching from video to video, channel to channel and from video app to video app so frequently I barely get to know any TH-camrs past watching maybe two or three of their videos (there are exceptions to this of course)
I didn't give a crap about or know anything about climbing a month ago and now I'm sat there like "damn that's a really gnarly 7C+ bro" while watching one of your videos, lmao.
Nobody else, even in areas that I've been interested in since I was a kid can keep me focused for so long over so many videos on one subject. Your climbing is amazing Magnus for sure, but we're all here for your subtle yet hilarious personality. Video quality is absolutely amazing too, really great content!
When you said that you were bad at jamming, I really thought "oh no, he's gonna open up the elevator door, but Pete and Tom are there!!".... and then you jammed away easily and I'm sure the wide boyz were nodding, thinking 'nice!'. Great video as always! After this, I really hope for a collab with Stefano! He seems like such a fun guy, that I'm sure you would have a great time and some more awesome videos!
Edit: And tomorrow I'm gonna start my lead course, so great (mental) preparation ;)! Thanks for the inspiration!
Two absolute legends tearing up a legendary route. This video is awesome, thanks for the vid Magnus!
This was so interesting to watch! That climb looks super difficult and I'm impressed with both of your climbing skills. It was cool to see the logistics of how you guys belayed each other throughout the climb as well. great video!
What a great climbing partnership- no egos, great communication. I hope you had a great time!
It’s always so fun watching Magnus climb, even as someone who doesn’t climb.
Fantastic video, hope the two of you collab more! Felt like your personalities went super well together.
Idk why, but seeing the footage of magnus climbing up the wall with no background music, just hearing the breathing and the clattering of the climbing gear is super calming.
I started climbing just as I started watching your videos and they really got me into it, thank you I can’t imagine life without climbing now.
God I fuckin’ love Cedar so much. What a good dude.
Magnus, its always fun for me to see you ramp up the intensity in situations like this. You manage it well with your verbal back and forth, but its so obvious how fierce a competitor you are, and how determined you were to have a clean climb. You are so in your element at times like this. This is my favorite "Magnus" type of video, it reminds me of how world class athletes are different from the rest of us. I still think you should swim the English Channel.
Cedar unclipping and leaning so far back gave me nightmare fuel
I absolutely love this style of video. Just tough climbing and good banter!
17:41 You can see that Magnus is a good belayer here. The fall was far on purpose. The rope didn’t have extra slack-he let it release on the catch to slow him down instead of whipping him into the wall. Good job Magnus.
youre totally right! didnt notice that
I wonder how he „let it release on the catch” while using grigri?
How do you know there was no slack when you cannot see Magnus there?
There is no way to do a dynamic/soft catch when belaying with a Grigri from a fixed point. It’s soft because of the rope stretch.
I couldn’t tell if he was using a grigri. There is a chance there was just slack off-screen or enough rope that it was rope stretch, as both of y’all suggested. If so, my bad. However, grigris don’t always catch immediately, so it could have slipped for a little while-rather on purpose or not.
Take my initial comment with hesitation, then
Best video about the whole Dual ascent thing so far - by far! Great so see cedar climbing, I usually see him talking about climbing 😄
Cedar is such a vibe, and can relate so hard to getting psyched out when climbing something out of your comfort zone.
16:40 my level of anxiety just pump so much... amazing.
Way to be a great teammate and push Cedar, Magnus! Y’all did a great job, always wanted to see someone climb these routes!
0:58 belaying... no comments. Poor Magnus. Thankfully he falls of very seldom if ever.
I love seeing the difference between the personalities of these two climbers. The backgrounds are so different. I just love seeing it.
humility and courage versus obnoxious and blabbering mouth in my opinion.
that other guy was so sweet and humble. its crazy as a layman to see what some people are doing. my hands were sweating the entire way
"Longest route ever built?"
Not sure about that. Janja Garnbret and Domen Škofic climbed a 360 meter, 13 pitch route on the chimney of the Trbovlje Power Station in Slovenia.
This dam is 220 meters tall.
So, smaller than Garnbret's route.
does that count though, it was just climbing ladders...
@@paultapping9510 the hardest pitch on the chimney was rated 8B+, I wouldn't count that as "ladder"
@@paultapping9510 Not sure what "ladders" you are referring to. No ladders on the chimney route.
Aaaah Cedar let's go! He was one of the first professional climbers I came across. It was movies like Valley Uprising and Sufferfest that first got me into this lovely sport! Nice to see you two climbing together!
I'm a pretty new climber (about 8 months in), and stuff like this makes me so excited to keep going and learn more. It honestly comforts me that, even at this level, more experienced climbers still get scared at stuff like dynos and an intimidating stretches. Thanks for sharing this!
Ceder is the man! His vids have such a unique style to them and he brings that energy you want in a climbing partner
Watching Stefano's video first when they do it in extreme quick fashion I was like, ok, seems doable, then I saw you guys working through the moves and I was blown away by how hard it actually is. We, normal human beings, do not understand sometimes that even up top there are differences in skill. And I don't mean it in a bad way. I was thinking that people at your level are pretty much close to each other, then I saw both videos and can say that there's plenty of differences still up top 💪
You got me into climbing and now I’ve been doing it for a couple of month and love it. Keep up the great videos 👍
Much respect to Cedar as a great climber, but what I appreciated most was how he let us amateurs know that even the best can get freaked out, need breaks, and maybe cheat a little here and there. He's great for the vids, since he's willing to say whatever he's thinking. What an accomplishment! Next vid should be Magnus repelling down the wall face-first, fast as hell like in the Bond film.
This was awesome to watch! Seeing you guys struggle at times, even though you're pros, shows just how demanding these routes were. Stefano and Marcello made it look waaay too easy in their video :D
Wasn't the multi-pitch route on that chimney in Slovenia that Janja and Domen climbed together way higher than this?
Yes, it was. 380 m as far as I can remember
thought so too
such a relief to see very experienced climbers also scared of falling
Just got into climbing. I’ve dedicated my life to music and done great luckily and to see your dedication is just super inspirational. Thank you.
i wanna watch this one uncut just 2h of climbing!!! you guys are so natural together like you are brothers and know each other fore years
Wow, cameraman really learned to hover for this one. Impressive shit fellas!
Its crazy how calm you both are especially cedar who fell like 4 times
I've been hoping/waiting for this since vids of this wall first started appearing on YT. It didn't dissapoint. Well done guys.
Getting a heart attack seeing how Cedar belayed you! So glad you didn’t fall Magnus.
M'en did you saw at 2:48 when he unscrews his lanyard to put his climbing shoes on it the guy is on an other planet
That belay method used to be accepted practice before they changed it around 2008 so I cut the old heads some slack
Nah you should always abide by new safety the second they’re official, I’ve climbed with people who’ve been doing this for 30 years and they would never do that. Plus he’s endangering someone else’s life too, which is completely uncool.
What's belaying?
@@Hinona. a belayer is the person who's taking in the rope on the opposite end of the climber to ensure if they (the climber) fall they dont go too far. Belaying is the act of doing this 😊
Yesss, I've been waiting for this video to come out! What an awesome experience on this wall with Cedar. What a fun guy
Hats off to Magnus and every climber he climbs with. I don’t care what the video is, I almost always get nervous watching these videos. My fav was when he free soloed with Alex H outside of Vegas. My hands were clammy and HR def elevated. Much respect!
I love Cedar so much. He’s so funny
13:32 "you got me?" "Yep i got you good" *belays without even touching the brake strand*
Great to see the two of you together - different worlds. Maybe you can do some US sandstone with Cedar? *****
Great video the chemistry and types of conversations this episode makes a novice really enjoy the sport even more. The jokes the lingo I enjoy it all thank you. I have ADHD but couldn’t take my eyes and ears off this video.
Dude Cedar did so good! I love how both of them keep it real and talk about being scared. Both Cedar and Magnus did awesome on this!!!
i really like your lead climbing videos, i hope you do more of them. also you and cedar is a great combo. very nice video
Nothing better on this rainy day than a freaking Magnus video! 🤘😜
Hell yes! More sport and muti-pitch Magnus content! I love your bouldering and other vids, but your sport stuff is what I'm here for more than anything.
Another Magnus Video Another good day
I'm going to climb tomorrow for the first time after a 6 months break.. this video got me so psyched.. thanks Magnus !
