16:40 The way Magnus says “and then you grab this as an intermediate? this is like a nothing hold”, and Stefano just dryly answering “yeah”😂😂 I love Stefano, hope he send silence soon
@@Akagami753 Lore is like information, its usually used in games and movies. Like for example part of Walter White's lore is that he was a chemistry teacher. A part Adam's lore about completing this route is that Magnus apparently told him about it
@@Akagami753 Since I'm not a native speaker and having difficulties in expressing what I want to say - here is a quote from the urban dictionary, that I agree with: "The collective history and the sum of all knowledge available about a certain fantasy or sci-fi universe."
This is my favorite video from Magnus for a very long time. The perfect mix of commentary, conversation, and climbing. And I didn’t even mention the cinematography! Just superb!
Crazy to see Megos saying he's just started trying Change in the video, knowing he's sent it days ago. He was able to send it faster than Magnus was able to edit the video
What I love about watching this is all these high level climbers who are trying 9b to 9c are still yelling encouragement at each other, hyping each other up, supporting each other, and most importantly confidently asserting next one's good (17:05) when the next one is absolutely not good.
22:11 Is also cool to see. As soon as he heard whatever word of encouragement that was he joined in and gave support. The climbing community seems like a lovely thing to be a part of.
The power density inside that barn is just crazy. Also absolutely wild service by the barn owner and Adam to leave this for the community. Just as much as everyone who bolts a route does.
I don't think it was a flash. He had breaks, abseiling down and up again, trying parts of the route as needed. Flash- Sending a route on your first try, with any prior knowledge of the route-verbal, or visual. Still, amazing work.
Magnus! I think this kind of video is what the climbing community wants from you! Please make a series? Where you visit and try some of the worlds hardest or most famous climbs to give us a background commentary and an inside look! (La dura dura with janja)? Will bosi on the big island sit?
I just came back from Flatanger, it truly is one of the most special places I've seen in climbing. So sick to see you on this, and thanks for presenting its backstory in such a beautiful way!
I live next to Flatanger, but I have never understood why it is so good. Don't you have places like this in other places in the world? PS: I am not a climber.
@@Fenifiks Its pretty unique since norway has a lot of unique places that the ice wored out because its close to the sea. Creating beautiful landscapes and fjords because the ice melted and moved towards sea. Different than in finland most of it just made the ground very smooth and left a couple bigger "mountains" or cant evn call them that :D.
22:15 Jorge Diaz-Rullo completed his first ascent of 'Change' (a 9b+ harder than Move) shortly after this video. Becoming the 5th person ever to do so, Alex Megos beat him by a few days - you can see him warming up in the video for the route.
Not only that, according to the Spanish media Desnivel, Change is 9b/+ in his opinion 🤯 And he also sent Move recently. Jorge is, by far, the most underrated climber of this generation.
@@realidadaparte Seb Bouin also said Change is 9b/b+ (with kneepads) but Move is 9b+ (no kneepads). Megos recently said Move could well be 9b+ without kneepads (but he used kneepads). Ondra did the first ascention of both routes without kneepads. To downgrade a route you should climb it in the same conditions as the FA. Edu Marin said that a few years ago and I agree with him. But that doesn't take away anything from Jorge, who is a beast of a climber.
So? Hardest climb in the world is such an exaggeration. There are many hard routes but not all are popular with youtube climbers like Ondra or Midbro so you've never even heard of most of them. This one, I happen to have climbed with my dad at 16 because I live near Trondheim, so how hard can it be? But we don't jerk off to the sound of our own voice or internet clicks, we just climb to climb.
@@ramdas363 you FA'd the world's first 15d at 16 years old and didn't mention it until this very youtube comments section years later? sick bro, respect
I think this is the best video on the channel. Don't get me wrong, it's always high quality, but the combination of epic site, the best of the best as climbing partners, Magnus lead climbing and the overall pacing and comentary makes it so the whole video is just perfect in every way. Also, props to both Alex and Jorge for sending Change, they're so good.
Comparing this TH-cam clip to videos from the 90’s like Master of Stone, I’m impressed and happy to see a how far climbing videos have moved forward in production quality.
So cool seeing Magnus offhandedly mention how much he is involved in the history of climbing. He was there was it was bolted and he told the future legend where it was.
the story-telling, the edits, the way you talk and present, your personality and your relationships with others around you… just all so perfect. what a video. thanks magnus for sticking around and continuing to deliver us climbing videos!
Magnus, Stefano, Alex Megos and Jorge Rullo all in one place climbing next to each other. I really hope you make a second channel video with all the fotage you've cut from this one. You guys hanging out together is so much fun to watch.
Watching Stefano climbing the crux gives me goosebumps through me whole body. It looks just magnificent. I really want more content like this, really hard outdoor stuff with some absolutely amazing climbers
One of your best videos ever. I understand it’s not possible to get 3 world class climber all the time, but just the crag, the route(s), seeing your attempts, however far you might feel from sending, was awesome. Before you released this one, the time you climbed outside on Adam’s 9A was my go to video, I feel like I have a new one. Please more outside climbing, whether it’s boulders or route, this is absolute perfection
The tiny details like the dog bark perfectly timed with the music just makes me fall in love with this content over and over again.. but i guess it also helps im a climbing addict. Keep up the good work!!
That had me laughing too. Still, i can't tell if he was serious or just polite. Seriously, it's so hard to tell with climbers because all of them are just so nice and humble people.
@@nathanrice7352 I just dont understand it, never will. The encouragement is worse for me; it makes me fail even faster! Just leave me alone and let me climb it. Same with the unrequested opinions about the route; When I want advice, I'll ask for it.
When Magnus says "someone like me" lol guys like Norway Champ 11 years on the bounce, redpointed 9a+ and onsited 8c+...... he's a world class climber, and i doubt he's far past his prime (not even watched full vlog yet). This and your other channel - great content - wishing you all the best from Alps/UK.
@@miloplayz7474Depends who you ask - Ali Hulk has been downgraded by a couple of climbers in recent years, although the style of ascent has changed due to the use of kneepads which allows no-handed rests. It should be noted that Magnus did it without kneepads, and at the time was the 4th person ever to climb 9b! Wad.
As usual, awesome video. Really like the way you walked through the route with some helpful footage and visuals to help us normies understand everything that goes into the climb aside from the outrageous cruxes that the Ondra documentary was focused on.
I’ve often said the Olympics and other world-class events should have an average guy go first to show how hard it is. Magnus makes very good amateur climbers look like goofs in his videos, and this route made him look how I look on a gym route. That really puts Adam’s accomplishment into perspective. And kudos for Magnus’s honest editing - he didn’t try to make himself look like a hero here, just wanted to show respect to those who did/are doing it.
The only problem with that is the average guy would barely get started compared to these guys, these guys are so elite the gap is so large it is tough to comprehend.
But then theyd need an equivalent "magnus-level" athlete, not just some guy. If it were an average guy trying this they wouldn't get past the start, it'd be pointless
One of my favorite videos of yours I've seen in a long time Magnus. There is nothing I love more than seeing you on real rock, being in nature, and truly enjoying yourself while you climb. It's real, raw climbing. One of the reasons I got into the channel so many years ago. And having legends like Stefano and Alex make an appearance is all the much more fun and exciting.
These types of videos are why I started watching Magnus in the first place, and they make me come back every time. I wish there were more! Good work Magnus, great video.
This is an awesome video! Loving the intro part when you tell the story of the cave. This is exactly what I miss in modern sport climbing videos. You have been upping your game so much recently, Magnus. Thanks for what you do!
This was absolutetly one of the best videos you have ever made! Not only fun to get the climbing history and try hard'ing' in it. But you captured the essence of what it's like to go out to the crags with the boys. the fun/tedious/happy moments in between. So good!!!
That is a top quality climbing related video. It is partially a documentary as well. I believe you have much more knowledge about other different routes or crags and legends around them. I wish you could film more content like this. Most likely it does not pay off that well compared to the 'challenges' and 'one day as a navy seal' videos, but these are a treasure for climbing community. Thank you so much for doing this kind of content. The one that you did together with Adam and Ben Moon climbing the old system board and some wall outside was truly magical too.
I have no idea why, but hearing that little dog bark into the ancient Nordic cave was awesome! Perfect editing all around. The VO level was perfect for continuity but the little bark with such an extended reverb was crystal clear, plus the timing of the music beat... dude - that kind of attention to detail on the videography aspect is why this climbing channel is so popular. That's the kind of polish that even when you're not paying attention to it, it adds magnitudes higher user experience and perception even for those without an ear/eye for it. The editing sets this channel apart. I wish I knew how to do all of that - not sure if I'd bottle it and sell that information for other aspiring content creators or keep it a secret and profit as much as possible from being "in the know." All that from a little doggie barkie. But seriously - I'm impressed.
I mean, the editing isn't the only reason Mr. Mitdbo is so popular. His obvious skill, likeability, and let's all be honest, physique, contribute to his TH-cam success, but I mean there are other fit athletes out there making content that don't get as much popularity as Magnus, and I think that part of it has to do with the way his videos are produced. They are very, very well done. In my opinion, at least
I was expecting the "Ondra scream" the whole time then it came at the end🎉 Not to mention the super great effort on the first crux Magnus, much appreciated!!
great video! i know that you always want to nail every climbing route or boulder but videos like this, where you try insanly hard stuff, are still very entertaining
This is by far the best video in such a long time! Thanks! I love watching Steffano's progress throughout the years. Other videos are really great as well but this one is on another level!
Great video Magnus, thank you! It's one thing to watch Ondra's (amazing) video from this route, but it's altogether different watching someone just ever so slightly more relatable on the same rock.
I dont know what happened to me, but as a kid i was always the kid that was the worst climber, all my friend would scale things quick and easy and i was always the one like half n hour behind, going slow and scard! watching these videos and videos of adam and alex from america, i dont know theres something beautiful, primal, majestic about climbing mother earth herself! im now addicted and want to learn how to climb ahah Also i have noticed, all the climbers have hearts and spirits of gold, some of the most talented but humble Humans i ever seen, its breaths faith back into humanity honestly! You guys are just amazing beautiful people. Thankyou!!!
That's the magnus video i've been waiting for! Trying hard stuff outside with top tier climbers! Amazing video! I hope it does so well on YT that he has to make more videos like this 😄
I really am in awe that you manage to create TH-cam gold after all the time you’re running this channel! Still transporting the love for the sport and the joy of doing it together with great people. And still making it great quality of production and just fun to watch.
As a person who casually got into climbing before the pandemic, I really haven't gotten into the history of the sport but what little I knew was devastated by the all the nuggets Magnus just laid out so casually. Like all these mythical things he's just so nonchalantly part of.
Magnus after watching your videos for a few years now it’s amazing how far your video quality has improved This video feels like a professional documentary Your videos have inspired me for years an are what really got me into climbing Thank you for all you’ve done so far and I look forward to whatever you do in the future!
congratulation magnus on making this excellent video, i love everything about it from the format (couch interview segments) to the ambience music and the little history facts dropping. one of my favourite ever of your channel 😊
Easily one of the best videos you posted on the channel period. The footage is crazy good, the explanation an interview part is incredible, the lore is super enjoyable. Plus i'm addicted to lead climbing videos. Thank you very much and keep posting this type of content ❤
I have been watching your videos for probably 3y now, but never commented. I've to say that this one in particular took me. The moment of Alex, Stefano and you climbing was so nice to see, just three friends climbing as there is no camera behind. So nice to see!
brilliant film Magnus! Loving the outdoor lead climbing films - always happy to see more of these 💪 Those crux moves look just insane, but I can see how committed projecting and building links makes them possible (for the super-elite, anyway!) Great stuff
12:05 Magnus: "you know, they say that the better the climber, the worse he is at belaying." Stefano: "Yeah, I saw some videos" 👀 Seriously though, this was an *awesome* video. Vibe, climbing, filmmaking... Bloody excellent. I love seeing Magnus climbing outside, trying super-hard stuff, being humble but enjoying it. And all those strong bois together in one place! Sick. More like this one, please! 🙌🏻
This video is a treasure trove of hard climbing! I love that you not only showed your attempts on silence, but showed Alex, Jorge, and Stefano on their respecitve projects.
Dude, this is one of your best videos yet! Absolutely love the outdoor videos, feels like getting to experience climbing history intimately! And it's so freakin cool to see two climbing legends like Stephano and Megos just hanging out and making jokes and then jumping on their respective 9b+ and 9c routes. It's one of the best parts of the climbing community that even the superstars are still so down to earth and approachable!
Loved every moment of this vid. Very cool seeing what a day of projecting these ridiculous tough climbs looks like. Enjoy all your content and looking forward to more like this.
What a phenomenal video Magnus!!! OMG more like this PLEASE!! You constantly underestimate your skill and strength as a climber, I truly believe you could climb this route if you trained hard at it!! Your strength is INSANE!!
Big congrats to Megos for sending Change, hope to see him also give Silence a go in the future. And I obviously hope that Stefano sends it within the next year - i think he's got a fair chance for sure!
Amazing amazing! Loved hearing a bit of the history of the cave and your perspective in Stefano’s story on Silence. Fun seeing you fellas climb and hang out together in such a legendary place! More like this, absolutely.
This was my favorite video you have ever done. I climbed a few 5.12 boulders in the 80s when people doubted the existence of 5.14, and to see people moving on this is really special. You did great, and I'd love to see what progress you could make in a month on it.
Outstanding. Love the humble answer from Stephano at the end. "What would it mean to do this route?" "I would be happy. I would be satisfied for the achievement". Perfect!!
I thought that a few times, but then the constant cuts during the actual climbing was terrible. This like "Liam Neeson jumps over a fence" level of bad. You can't follow any of the movements. How does he make the clips? Even if he's cheating the clips, I want to see that!
This kind of reminds me of that one basketball player who was criticized by the fans, so he challenged anyone to beat him. He later said "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me." Magnus is crazy strong compared to most climbers, but this video really shows that 9c is a whole other thing in itself
yes magnus is quite humble next to the big names, but he still is a world-class athlete and former world cup climber. He didn't lose all that strength since he continued training a lot. He was definitely closer to the top than the bottom though since he did some podiums in world cups but I think the dedication to top level is the most troublesome thing for him right now not the ability.
@@arielbadw1368 Maybe putting 2+2 together, but see the video of Magnus bouldering with Dave Macleod. Dave said: I've kept getting stronger into my late 40's, and the rate of progress is slowing, but I'm still strong than I was in my 30's. A light came on in Magnus' eyes. Bing. I swear. Post comp magnus can still progress outdoors, I thinks, and I think Magnus realises it.
@@PB-sk9jn Yup, that. And Tomoa telling him he could still do boulder comps if he wanted to. That was no empty talk and you could really see it sink in, I think. Not that pappa Magnus will start competing again, but just that he is still strong and skilled enough.
Good job on the music in this video. I don't know why climbing and music often makes such a good combination when well done, but it does. I think it is related to being free and wild.
👊Great movie, Magnus. Looks like you had a lot of fun with Stefano and Alex in the cave. Keep crushing. Adam & AO Team
The GOAT calmly surveiling the competition from afar I see... 10a when ?

"a nothing hold", that's good to remember 🙂
Remember Jorge’s commentary on ROTSW?
Great praise though. Magnus is a great climber. He did very well. Impressive.
I hope so, but I don't think it's humanly possible. And Adam does not belong to the human race.
"I told Adam about the cave"

Would love to see more videos similar to this!
Agree!!!
Crazy to see Megos saying he's just started trying Change in the video, knowing he's sent it days ago.
He was able to send it faster than Magnus was able to edit the video
He might be consistently the fastest climber to climb 9b and 9b/+ in the world right now
It took that man 60 days to climb bibliographie, and then he just casually walks up to change and does it 4 days what a beast.
What I love about watching this is all these high level climbers who are trying 9b to 9c are still yelling encouragement at each other, hyping each other up, supporting each other, and most importantly confidently asserting next one's good (17:05) when the next one is absolutely not good.
Lmao the next hold is always good 😅 imagine having a belayer who always says "next hold is bad"
@@mitch1788 if it's a bad hold then it's "come on you can do it"
22:11 Is also cool to see. As soon as he heard whatever word of encouragement that was he joined in and gave support. The climbing community seems like a lovely thing to be a part of.
That's what climbers do. And have done for decades.
Not like boxing or other sports where everyone hates the other guys. Climbers attitudes could change the world if they grew contagious.
The power density inside that barn is just crazy. Also absolutely wild service by the barn owner and Adam to leave this for the community. Just as much as everyone who bolts a route does.
Yeah, I was thinking that as well. Kudos to the farmer to allow all these straggly wild unkempt climbers in there.

It's real, raw climbing. One of the reasons I got into the channel so many years ago. And having legends like Stefano and Alex make an appearance is all the much more fun and exciting.
These types of videos are why I started watching Magnus in the first place, and they make me come back every time. I wish there were more! Good work Magnus, great video.
This is an awesome video! Loving the intro part when you tell the story of the cave. This is exactly what I miss in modern sport climbing videos. You have been upping your game so much recently, Magnus. Thanks for what you do!
This was absolutetly one of the best videos you have ever made! Not only fun to get the climbing history and try hard'ing' in it. But you captured the essence of what it's like to go out to the crags with the boys. the fun/tedious/happy moments in between. So good!!!
That is a top quality climbing related video. It is partially a documentary as well.
I believe you have much more knowledge about other different routes or crags and legends around them. I wish you could film more content like this. Most likely it does not pay off that well compared to the 'challenges' and 'one day as a navy seal' videos, but these are a treasure for climbing community. Thank you so much for doing this kind of content.
The one that you did together with Adam and Ben Moon climbing the old system board and some wall outside was truly magical too.
I have no idea why, but hearing that little dog bark into the ancient Nordic cave was awesome! Perfect editing all around. The VO level was perfect for continuity but the little bark with such an extended reverb was crystal clear, plus the timing of the music beat... dude - that kind of attention to detail on the videography aspect is why this climbing channel is so popular. That's the kind of polish that even when you're not paying attention to it, it adds magnitudes higher user experience and perception even for those without an ear/eye for it. The editing sets this channel apart. I wish I knew how to do all of that - not sure if I'd bottle it and sell that information for other aspiring content creators or keep it a secret and profit as much as possible from being "in the know."
All that from a little doggie barkie. But seriously - I'm impressed.
I mean, the editing isn't the only reason Mr. Mitdbo is so popular. His obvious skill, likeability, and let's all be honest, physique, contribute to his TH-cam success, but I mean there are other fit athletes out there making content that don't get as much popularity as Magnus, and I think that part of it has to do with the way his videos are produced. They are very, very well done. In my opinion, at least
Where’s the doggie bark?
8:07
I was expecting the "Ondra scream" the whole time then it came at the end🎉 Not to mention the super great effort on the first crux Magnus, much appreciated!!
great video!
i know that you always want to nail every climbing route or boulder
but videos like this, where you try insanly hard stuff, are still very entertaining
Amazing, amazing video!!! Please do more of these. Seeing so many respected climbers in one place - absolute beauty. Bravo, Magnus!
This is by far the best video in such a long time! Thanks! I love watching Steffano's progress throughout the years.
Other videos are really great as well but this one is on another level!
Great video Magnus, thank you! It's one thing to watch Ondra's (amazing) video from this route, but it's altogether different watching someone just ever so slightly more relatable on the same rock.
I absolutely love Stefano. What a kind soul. and a great belayer.
I dont know what happened to me, but as a kid i was always the kid that was the worst climber, all my friend would scale things quick and easy and i was always the one like half n hour behind, going slow and scard!
watching these videos and videos of adam and alex from america, i dont know theres something beautiful, primal, majestic about climbing mother earth herself! im now addicted and want to learn how to climb ahah
Also i have noticed, all the climbers have hearts and spirits of gold, some of the most talented but humble Humans i ever seen, its breaths faith back into humanity honestly! You guys are just amazing beautiful people.
Thankyou!!!
Definitely main channel worthy!!!😂
That's the magnus video i've been waiting for! Trying hard stuff outside with top tier climbers! Amazing video! I hope it does so well on YT that he has to make more videos like this 😄
Beta spray from the belayer is fine when your belayer is Stefano Ghisolfi and you're climbing Silence
Felt strange to hear it and be ok with it.
I really am in awe that you manage to create TH-cam gold after all the time you’re running this channel!
Still transporting the love for the sport and the joy of doing it together with great people. And still making it great quality of production and just fun to watch.
As a person who casually got into climbing before the pandemic, I really haven't gotten into the history of the sport but what little I knew was devastated by the all the nuggets Magnus just laid out so casually. Like all these mythical things he's just so nonchalantly part of.
He is an imposter
@@umaxi96 no you are troll
So many trolls in this thread! But yeah, I agree, so cool!
Love this video. Well done Magnus/production team! I love the progression towards movie quality TH-cam vidoes.
Love seeing you lead climb, especially in such a historical place. Awesome video.
Magnus after watching your videos for a few years now it’s amazing how far your video quality has improved
This video feels like a professional documentary
Your videos have inspired me for years an are what really got me into climbing
Thank you for all you’ve done so far and I look forward to whatever you do in the future!
Hanging out with Adam definitely is rubbing off on Magnus
And I’m here for it.
congratulation magnus on making this excellent video, i love everything about it from the format (couch interview segments) to the ambience music and the little history facts dropping. one of my favourite ever of your channel 😊
YES. More outdoor climbing please!!!
I've watched this multiple times and I think this is one of my favorite if not my favorite Magnus video.
Please please return to silence, Magnus. This was fantastic
"Please return to Silence" sounds like a very polite way to tell someone to shut up lol
Japanese polite energy right there
@@noone-ld7pti’m now using this thanks for the idea
Easily one of the best videos you posted on the channel period. The footage is crazy good, the explanation an interview part is incredible, the lore is super enjoyable. Plus i'm addicted to lead climbing videos. Thank you very much and keep posting this type of content ❤
I hope Stefano and Magnus do more videos in the future. Two of my favorite climbers to watch on TH-cam
Yeah, the vibe between the two of them was great!
I'd be so happy to watch youtube channel dedicated to Mangus hanging out with Stefano and/or Ondra all the time
I have been watching your videos for probably 3y now, but never commented. I've to say that this one in particular took me. The moment of Alex, Stefano and you climbing was so nice to see, just three friends climbing as there is no camera behind. So nice to see!
brilliant film Magnus! Loving the outdoor lead climbing films - always happy to see more of these 💪 Those crux moves look just insane, but I can see how committed projecting and building links makes them possible (for the super-elite, anyway!) Great stuff
Stefano’s knowledge of the route is amazing. He knows the whole route down to the inch. Looking forward to seeing the send soon!
Clever Italian he is.
So excited! What a bosmang he is, and so nice and funny.
12:05 Magnus: "you know, they say that the better the climber, the worse he is at belaying."
Stefano: "Yeah, I saw some videos" 👀
Seriously though, this was an *awesome* video. Vibe, climbing, filmmaking... Bloody excellent. I love seeing Magnus climbing outside, trying super-hard stuff, being humble but enjoying it. And all those strong bois together in one place! Sick.
More like this one, please! 🙌🏻
lmao this. both careful to not name any names 👀
This video is a treasure trove of hard climbing! I love that you not only showed your attempts on silence, but showed Alex, Jorge, and Stefano on their respecitve projects.
Magnus, this is another banger of a video. You've been back to killing it recently, I love it! Keep up the great work man!
The banter in the barn is top quality, love it
Dude, this is one of your best videos yet! Absolutely love the outdoor videos, feels like getting to experience climbing history intimately! And it's so freakin cool to see two climbing legends like Stephano and Megos just hanging out and making jokes and then jumping on their respective 9b+ and 9c routes. It's one of the best parts of the climbing community that even the superstars are still so down to earth and approachable!
This high quality of video on TH-cam is amazing.
Loved every moment of this vid. Very cool seeing what a day of projecting these ridiculous tough climbs looks like. Enjoy all your content and looking forward to more like this.
more please.. that was awesome. especially getting to see different people work their projects.
Easily one of, if not THE, best Magnus video. Awesome content, sir, AWESOME!
This is the best kind of video you make! More outdoor footage with top climbers working on hard projects? Yes please!
What a phenomenal video Magnus!!! OMG more like this PLEASE!! You constantly underestimate your skill and strength as a climber, I truly believe you could climb this route if you trained hard at it!! Your strength is INSANE!!
16:38
Mag:
"And then you grab this as an intermediate? This is like a nothing-hold"
Stefano: "Ya.."
😂😂
Lol, literally came to make this comment ^ best part.
Really enjoyed this video. So much packed into 20 minutes between the history, interviews, climbing, analysis... hope you do more like this!
Big congrats to Megos for sending Change, hope to see him also give Silence a go in the future. And I obviously hope that Stefano sends it within the next year - i think he's got a fair chance for sure!
Or maybe BIG!
Amazing amazing! Loved hearing a bit of the history of the cave and your perspective in Stefano’s story on Silence. Fun seeing you fellas climb and hang out together in such a legendary place! More like this, absolutely.
I love ghisolfi, he seems like a real pleasure to spend time with
This was my favorite video you have ever done. I climbed a few 5.12 boulders in the 80s when people doubted the existence of 5.14, and to see people moving on this is really special. You did great, and I'd love to see what progress you could make in a month on it.
Absolutely incredible video. Both the climbing and the filming and commentary. Amazing!!
Outstanding. Love the humble answer from Stephano at the end. "What would it mean to do this route?" "I would be happy. I would be satisfied for the achievement". Perfect!!
This 'trying hard routes' needs to be a series! Alex and Stefano, great surprise guests!
Honestly one of my favorite videos you've done. Really special.
we all waited for this!!!
how epic
Awesome! Been wishing for this video since stefano started trying silence! This documentary style format was perfect for the content! 😁 ❤
The filmmaking on this video was absolutely stunning! The amount of progress in video making has been really great these last couple of years.
I thought that a few times, but then the constant cuts during the actual climbing was terrible. This like "Liam Neeson jumps over a fence" level of bad. You can't follow any of the movements. How does he make the clips? Even if he's cheating the clips, I want to see that!
17:19 - "Good job, you done some of the moves" 🤣Hahaha.
That was both supporting and teasing at the same time 😍
This kind of reminds me of that one basketball player who was criticized by the fans, so he challenged anyone to beat him. He later said "I'm closer to LeBron than you are to me."
Magnus is crazy strong compared to most climbers, but this video really shows that 9c is a whole other thing in itself
yes magnus is quite humble next to the big names, but he still is a world-class athlete and former world cup climber. He didn't lose all that strength since he continued training a lot. He was definitely closer to the top than the bottom though since he did some podiums in world cups but I think the dedication to top level is the most troublesome thing for him right now not the ability.

Maybe putting 2+2 together, but see the video of Magnus bouldering with Dave Macleod.
Dave said: I've kept getting stronger into my late 40's, and the rate of progress is slowing, but I'm still strong than I was in my 30's.
A light came on in Magnus' eyes. Bing.
I swear.
Post comp magnus can still progress outdoors, I thinks, and I think Magnus realises it.
@@PB-sk9jn Yup, that. And Tomoa telling him he could still do boulder comps if he wanted to. That was no empty talk and you could really see it sink in, I think. Not that pappa Magnus will start competing again, but just that he is still strong and skilled enough.
One of the best video of the channel so far! Please Magnus go out and try hard, you are (still) a very strong climber!
The edits is so smooth, loved it!
Good job on the music in this video. I don't know why climbing and music often makes such a good combination when well done, but it does. I think it is related to being free and wild.
I just noticed Stefano wears the beanie for the 1st Crux Boulder problem and then drops it afterwards. Getting that boulder bro buff.
Stefano is just the best man, so chill, yet so hard working. Amazing collab !
The intro already is so good
