When are you going to collaborate with brian shaw
Don't normally like commercials, but that NordVPN one was pretty good!
Laughed so hard on this one! XD
this was the best nord vpn commercial ever!!
@@colemontsandy3424 Want to see that!
No Shirt = +2 grades Spidey Suit = +5 grades
Cool seeing you here man
never expected to see you here .. cheers
@@zerotondo9584 Haha Magnus got me into climbing a couple years ago! Been hooked ever since
Wasn't expecting to find Brandon over here!! Do you climb?
@@IcarusBricks Yeah man! Around V6 right now. Goal is to get my first V8 by end of year🤞
"You really look like spiderman, or at least someone who ate spiderman" - Magnus. Magnus is a savage damn
My Seattle/American sensibility is like 😮😮😮 MAGNUS
@@javakat343thankfully, not everyone has turned into a snowflake - yet
@@javakat343seattle 🤢🦄
You posted this on Eddie's video then copy pasted it on this video too. What's the point bro? Do the thumbs up mean that much to you? LOL I COPY PASTED THIS ON THE OTHER COMMENT TOO. 🤡🤡🤡
21:10 laugh was savage too
"Go straight up - hold that rock" has to be the best climbing advice possible.
That's about the extent of my rock climbing beta as well
as a roofer that used to be 130 kgs, the whole ¨i am scared of equipment failure¨ part resonated hard with me. Good job Eddie
Whenever those failures happen, is it the equipment that failed or is it really us who failed to be as light as feathers ?
@@maloxi1472to lift more u gotta be more. 70kg guys can be strongman but they cant outperform a 100kg guys…
@@maloxi1472 There is a good reason why teamsters, dockworkers, lumberjacks and the like tend to be big, hardy lads. You can be as fit as a fiddle but there is no substitute for pure extra muscle mass to move things around.
yep im the same and also experienced that too lol
@@8wayz2shine honestly anyone who has to move stuff.. muscle mass/weight in general helps with all of that.. fat for ''storing'' energy... first i noticed this at gym... was hard stock on 80kg bodyweight... and after trying to bulk.. i gained 5kg and i could notice it.. it was so much easier to move weights/friends that were heavier than me
Magnus looked like a bond villain, peering over the edge, chuckling at the struggle 😂
I tought, he's like a sith lord teaching his student using the dark force. But definitely like some movie villain. 😅
I also got yoda vibes. "One with the rock you must be, Eddie!"
"I've been expecting you, Mr. Hall..."
I thought the same thing
Yoda
Eddie shouldn’t be a good climber at his size but he’s still better than most people, very impressive and such a kind person.
It’s that competitiveness in him. You can tell he’s giving it 110% every moment
Eddie and kind?? lol
@@a.k2156 He is kind you watch him enough to get past the rough exterior he is a teddy bear.
@@corybrown8422 What about the fake "documentary" and the time he brought his kid to press conference just so he could talk smack about Thors mother? Truly a kind soul this one. lol
@@a.k2156 Oh I see a Thor fanboy. Lol That makes since.
Watching this video is a 100% role reversal for Magnus. Previously we had Alex during the free solo video was like " yo this is super chill I'm climbing and filming" while magnus has a bit of nerves.....meanwhile here we have magnus climbing with approach shoes and chilling at the top yelling down to Eddie "Just follow the chalk, its easy!" lol. Please keep this series going. Eddie is a god damn gem and has great climbing spirit.
That’s the video I was thinking about watching this
Eddie is definitely a demonstration of how the 'mental' aspect of skill/technique/willpower is SO big a factor in successful athletes. He's GOAT in his chosen field of athletic effort AND he can show athletic/mental ability in unrelated athletic fields - the mental skills - not to be underestimated.
165 kg Eddie doing that route is legit amazing. Dude has balls and fighting spirit.
I need to get up to 165kg and do a climb. Cant be that hard.
@@deltalima6703go do it and post a video then
@I am busy training right at the moment, then I need to eat some food. I have a cut coming up, so it will take me years to hit 165kg I reckon, unless it happens before my cut.
@@deltalima6703just put some sandbags in a backpack
I wonder how much of Eddie's weight is just from those balls of steel? Must be a noticeable percentage!
caught myself smiling the entire video, these two together are just peak content
being able to witness someones first climbs where they really dont want to trust the rope to catch them are powerful.
Well they are in the peak district after all 😅
I didn't notice my cheeks were sore until I saw your comment.
Right though?! I love these two, especially together. Although Eddie gets along with everyone well.
same, I was smiling ear to ear like an idiot.
props to the mountain for holding Eddie all the way up
Eddie: "What I'm worried about is equipment failure" This is a very common and valid concern when beginning to learn the climbing basics. Even after 30+ years of climbing, I was still concerned about equipment failure, especially when on the sharp end on a trad route. Advice to Magnus: Before taking any beginner off the ground on a rope, give them an in-service on the equipment, it's design, strength, purpose, and function. Teach them the proper commands, ie; "belay on?", "climbing", "tension", "slack" "off belay", etc. Have them tie in, climb up a meter or so off the ground, and have them sit back in their harness to demonstrate it's strength/ability to hold/protect them while they are still close to the ground and not 10 meters up. Because Eddie weighs twice as much as you do and is INCREDIBLY top heavy, the potential of him flipping upside down is possible/inevitable. Although a chest harness is cumbersome/ inconvenient, you might consider one for Eddie's MONSTER frame. I'm sure Eddie would appreciate the security it provides.
Sure but there's a 100kg difference between him and the average climber
I'm sure this happened off camera. That is just time-consuming, boring content they won't show on the KZhead video
Eddie's such a joker! 'Have you ever belayed before?' Eddie confidently :'yep' *looks at camera*
Wdym?
"Done what before"
I'm sure he thought that kid was taking the piss and said been laid
@Talisman09 hahah thats hilarious
21:13 Magnus Did An Evil Laugh
Reminded me of that white cat, from the memes with the girl shouting
aaauahahu magic!
Nah he was just proud of himself and Eddy. I'm sure he'd never imagined he'd be coaching a 165 kilo guy up a route.
Evil Magnus laughing at you from the top is such good rock climbing meme material
Hahahaha so deeply evil!
"He's talking shit he is" had me in stitches. Massive kudos to Eddie, what a big, in every sense, effort and accomplishment! Great video!
I loved seeing Magnus just laughing atop the wall waiting for Eddie. He is so confident in Eddie's abilities, he knows the man doesn't have an ounce of quit in him, so he knows he can chuckle a bit while taking a break from encouraging Eddie up the wall. Always a fan of the collaborations on this channel, keep it up!
"Just follow the chalk, Eddie" has to be one of the most Magnus sayings ever
We sooo need that on a t-shirt.
@@Limestream73 "Just follow the chalk"
How do you find Magnus? - Easy, just follow the chalk
Magnus playing the evil supervillain at the top of the crag while Hulkspider ascends to beat him. Magnus's superpower is making every grade 5x more difficult for his foes while still being able to campus it himself.
I love that Magnus climbed the outdoor route in approach shoes
why does magnus sound like a daunting father... "just follow the chalk eddie"
21:13 looks like a scene out of Star Wars where Magnus is proud of his upcoming jedi
Yes, a very Yoda moment 😂
"MMM, the chalk you must follow, Eddie" I could see Magnus being Yoda and Eddie being Luke 🤣
@@TheOfficialDjProduct exactly that😂
The term you're looking for is "padawan"
The music too
I love how charismatic Eddie is, such a fun person to watch banter
If you climb at all you’ll understand just how impressive Eddie’s feat is. Considering he weighs so much it just shows how strong he is, and also his mindset and willingness to try HARD. And let’s be honest, these two have great chemistry together and Eddie is funny AF 😂
Not to mention that his musculature gives him limited range of motion compared to someone of Magnus's build. Not only is he carrying such a large amount of weight, but also is overall less manoeuvrable than somone who would commonly be climbing. Both of Magnus's videos with Eddie have left me very impressed. And I agree, I've never been interested in powerlifting or similar sports, but Eddie is always enjoyable to watch and always seems to have great chemistry with the people who he does videos with, he just seems like a really genuine person.
I love how Eddie is confident enough to try these challenges, but humble enough to recognise the difficulty and skill it takes to be a climber. I’m super impressed that he was able to climb so well. That takes crazy strength and willpower.
He definitely has both in spades. He's such a dude.
Next video: world’s strongest man rips off a chunk of mountain makings a new climbing cave 😂
Eddie Hall vs The Mountain 2
Eddie can just punch and rip out the rock while he climbs and make new routes
I truly appreciate the quality camera work and camera men, even drone shots. It's great to see how far this channel has become and that it still is improving
I love the contrast in personalities, this is a great collab. Thank you both for bringing it back.
magnus's laugh when hes looking down at eddie. is just amazing ahaha
fair play to Eddie, it's the sheer grit and determination that makes any top level athlete to get him through this one. I bet he felt similar to you did on your free climb with Alex Honnold, he really didn't trust the ropes were going to get him through it if he slipped whereas you didn't have any.
Man, I love the content on this channel. The production quality is so good. I’ve been binging so much content the last month or so going back to videos 5 years ago and it’s all so engrossing, I could watch it all day. That said, this might be my favorite video yet.
Magnus, got a great collab idea for ya. You and Geowizard and/or Storror do one of the straight line challenges. Would be a fun one to see.
Oooh, yes! GeoWizard could use some added safety to the climbing parts, seeing how one of the most common reasons he needs to get off the line is going up or down a steep hill or a tall fence. Having Magnus there to coach and belay him would add freedom into route planning. But I have a feeling that Magnus would be too polite to trespass, so less of that needed.
Eddie is always prepared
This was utterly brilliant, hilarious personality matches, ludicrous commitment from Eddie, great production quality. You just love to see it
Watching Eddie doing that climb took my breath away, you can really hear the struggle. Wonderful effort.
You can see a glimpse of Eddie Hall the competitor with that "bring it on" at 11:28, he's such a joker that you forget he's got ferocious drive when fired up.
That 19:45 drone-shot of Eddie in the middle of that HUGE rock is just amazing. Really gives the scale of that wall. (Eddie is far from a small man;)
A little spider
The difference in size from a small man to a large man is so small it wouldn't have mattered if it was Magnus in the shot, what's 30cm to many meters. it's crazy
@@keplar7243 Yes it does. If a man is twice as large you'd have to go twice as far for it to appear the same. It's a ratio.
@@ChromicClaw It's a ratio compared to the total size of what it's being compared to. Even double of 2 meters is only 4 meters, which is insignificant when compared to something that's much bigger
I say this to highlight how even though we think 30cm difference is huge for humans, which it is, it's a relatively small size difference
Damn! I love when these two collab, The Beast is back!!
This content and production level is just pure gold! Love these two together.
What makes this harder for him is not just about weight, but also his torso pushing his body balance. But he done it as a champ. 🏆
These two should do even more climbing videos together. Eddie is superb for his bodyweight.
Eddie is as natural an entertainer as your are, Magnus. Perfect combination, great video.
Magnus, your videos have been an inspiration to me as I've worked to drop weight. One of my goals in losing weight is to get into bouldering. I've lost 107 pounds now, I'm down to 223 and I'm about ready to go hit the local climbing gym. These videos with Eddie are hugely inspirational! If he can do it at 370 I feel like I can definitely get started at 223. I've been focusing on arms and grip strength in my workouts lately.
"We're gonna end the video there" And Eddies been stuck at the top ever since 😂
This might be one of my favourite videos. A nice combination of the old vlog with the new videos.
Magnus please collab with Will Tennyson! Love your stuff so much and I feel you would love his energy and make a great video!
Will Tennyson + Leanbeafpatty + Magnus would be amazing tbh.
So hyped for eddie, that had to feel amazing to do a first outdoor climb like that
Super inspiring! Love to see Eddie persevere ~ would love to see more of videos like these !🙏
I briefly worked at a climbing gym where we had convicts from the local jail come during off-hours. Those jacked guys did pretty good but had no grip endurance.
You’d think they would seeing as the only thing that can physically work on is their grip…. If you know what I mean
@@imcontemptwithlife4155 most prisons have some form of gym afaik
because its all about heat dissipation and that takes training that specifically to adapt... and they have more body weight to carry the heat accumulates faster with muscle having to work harder
One does not need endurance to strangle someone with bare hands.
@@lordjaraxxus663if what you said was true, you would have unlimited grip endurance by placing an ice pack on your forearms. The truth is that its a buildup of metabolites like lactic acid
These videos really are such a strange crossover between two of my KZhead worlds and I'm all for it 😂
Magnus laughing like Dr. Evil @21:16 is going to be one of the best clips used for memes of all time. 😂
For anyone interested I think the route is called "Right Route" (inspiring name) at the roaches upper tier. It gets VDiff
I remember being impressed like 5 years ago when you climbed at Juji's weight, but I had huge doubts you could climb as good as eddie at his weight but my god you still managed! You're inhuman magnus
Eddie is a freaking beast. So impressive. Let's also give credit where it's due - Magnus was not just supporting him but giving exact tips he needed along the whole way! Awesome.
Thanks for answering my question! Lots of great info in these QnA's always look forward to em 🤙
Seeing somebody that size climb that well is absolutely mental. And also, your encouragement is really good Magnus, might have a second calling as a coach in life haha! Cheers and thank you for the wonderful content man!
You should see him swim
lets goo, another magnus + eddie hall collab! keep up the good work magnus!
eddie conquering on the MOUNTAIN again
One of my favorite videos you made Magnus. Eddie is a great guest to have and it's amazing how well he can climb as a giant.
Wow, extrememly impressed by Eddie! Great coaching by Magnus.
This feels like a Netflix special. Insane quality
I agree, it's excellent.
This was SUCH a fun watch, the two personalities together are very entertaining too. Looking forward to more in the future!
Incredible work Magnus! The quality of this video was fantastic, not to mention, watching Eddie Hall lug himself up a 30 meter wall was impressive.
Impressive as hell Eddie! And Magnus: Keep putting effort and time into production as you have done of late. You are close to the level you would need to go to 4-5mill subs. Keep putting these gems out and it will happen.
wow give it up for Eddie!! more content with this champ. Magnus thanks
I love that you two collab. Eddie is constantly pushing himself to try new things, and has fun with life, you're both so inspirational! Hell of a duo! Hope you two continue to work together for videos
Of all the "strong man tries climbing" videos you have Eddie's are always my favourite, just feels like he has such a good attitude coming into it, and he's got a fun personality to watch.
Love that you were at MCC. Well played to Eddie, he's a genuine beast!
Why is no one talking about the fact that the gym is built into a church?
You two have great camera presence, please more of you guys climbing. It was great to see Eddie overcome the gear fear and see the differences of indoor vs. outdoor. You could tell he had a moment of question but powered through it. If you have climbed outside you know this all to well and I could feel it. .
things like this are actually so great for Eddie to do from a health standpoint. Working different muscles in unique ways and using his flexibility while being low impact on his joints. Should make him live a healthier and longer life. Great vid!
awesome content as usual Magnus! your content takes my head off my stress for a bit. cheers to you & Eddie!
Just started and I think this is gonna be a good one
2 of my favourite athletes on KZhead climbing in a beautiful part of my country. Great job
You should get Brian Shaw on! He loves grip strength challenges too. I would love to see you take him through your grip tests
What a video. It’s really cool to see the comparison between the different strengths.
How do you know when it got released 3 min ago? Liar.
When collab with magnus?
@@DeFaustibecause it’s Eddie and Magnus! 😂 I’m just another fan like anyone else
Eddie crushed this. What an absolute beast
Shredded Eddie hall climbing is something you’d think you would never see
That’s so awesome Eddie!!! You’re so incredible for pushing through and going beyond your limit!
The fart before climbing the wall 😂 i think that was good luck, not the sneeze hahaha
This is what climbing is all about. Getting scared, almost crapping your pants, conquering your fear, then getting even more scared again.
Such a great video, very proud of both you beasts!
You both always have such great chemistry, these videos are amazing.
All the beeps reminded me my first outdoor climbing, with no previous experience. They were easy low grades safe routes, but I totally understand the feeling of being stuck on a wall with a few expert friends saying "just don't stop moving, believe in the feets, it's gonna be alright" One of the most emotional and scary day I ever passed "having fun" and the reason I'm still climbing today
Yup you feel good when its done and 30m looks insanely high when you are on a wall
I still beep frequently and I've been climbing for years
Eddie climbing that rock was incredible to watch
I love the banter between you and Eddie lol, also amazed that he did the entire outdoor climb! He's really improving more than I ever expected. Love your stuff magnus :)
Bloody awesome man!!! Well done Eddy!!! And well done Magnus.. you are an incredible coach and motivator... Quitting was just not an option for Eddy... AWESOME to watch!!!! Well done guys!!!
Lovely little Sunday afternoon break.
Loved the editing at the end just like Silence with Ondra - really well put together.
At 8:44 was Eddie drinking a jug of hydrogen peroxide?!?😂
Lol looks like it
Saw the instagram now the KZhead one. I followed you all the way through here 😂😂😂😂
I’ve been watching for years, and this has got to be one of my favorite videos that Magnus has ever made. I’m digging the style of the new editor, the background music was sweet, and Eddie is always a funny and entertaining guest. In a future video, it would be cool to see Juji, Larry Wheels, Brian Shaw, and Eddie compete in some sort of climbing challenge with Magnus. (Or even just Brian and Eddie at the very least. Their competitive banter is always hilarious.)
Probably one of my fav videos so far....eddie just says it as it is, its great to see the difference between magnus politeness and eddies blunt friendliness
20:20 the man is fighting for his dear life lol but he won!
love the video magnus
Eddie is an absolute warrior! Just found your channel a few hours ago and MAN! GREAT VIDEOS! The one where u solo'ed with Alex Honnold??? That was insane. You are a warrior as well man.
Hell yeah, It's really awesome to see Eddie break out of his comfort zone and then smash this climb. What a legend honestly. Not that he wasn't already a legend but its really awesome to see him do something soooo different and challenging himself in a different way. And you did awesome coaching him.
I love how they've repurposed the old church into a climbing gym! That's brilliant. I love when beautiful older buildings are reused instead of being torn down just because they are older or no longer used for their original purpose.
I've only climbed in two places, one was a church and the other was a castle! Next up...a cathedral. It seems quite common in the UK, we have enough old buildings for it.
@@zHawkC That's true. The UK has much older architecture in general.
Beautiful gym! I would love to climb there someday 😊
