  • Honestly Magnus, I don't watch you to watch the hard boulders or the easy ones, I watch you because you're damn good content, and a great guy. Your attitude and just general take on everything you do is always so awesome, and I'm fairly sure I'm not the only one here that thinks that! Make videos about what you want to do, I'm pretty sure most people will still enjoy it!

  • It's a lot more interesting to see you work out a problem you're having trouble with than just see you fly up a route with no issue. The thought process and problem-solving is fascinating and educational. Sure, it looks impressive to see you flash hard problems, but that gets old after a while.

Did you take any pharmaceuticals? Antibiotics, shots, etc.?

I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your comment implying that wireless connections and shots cause chronic illness gave me cancer anyway.

I don't watch your videos to see what the best climbers are capable of, I don't climb so I wouldn't even recognise that. I watch your videos because you're an interesting and very charismatic person. You're down to earth, you go out of your comfort-zone, you're authentically yourself. Those are traits I'm working on myself and that makes you worth admiring. Life isn't always about performing your best, it's also about how we perform during our worse. Keep doing you and ill keep following.

    • I think the majority of climbers/his audience are probably so far off from magnuses abilities that they cant even comprehend how difficult some of the routes he does are, or the finer points of the technique that make it possible. So watching someone whose the best at climbing isn't what we are here for. Its hard to relate to the best climbers in the world, if you go to alex honnold or adam ondras youtube channels they have less subscribers.

  • One of the most inspiring videos I've seen from magnus and have been watching for a long time now. Inspiration is about relating to someone, seeing magnus really struggle with whether or not he is performing well enough to share to people might be the most relatable thing to any athlete, artist or musician out there. I hope he shares more of his struggles and "failures" (as he may see it). To me this was much more profound than just solving hard boulders, share your journey, not just the treasures you attained along the way.

  • I didn't climb for 3 weeks cuz of exhaustion and nerve pain, climbed again yesterday, went from v5-v6 to v3-v4. Felt like I lost all the progress I made in 5 months in as little as 2 weeks, but hey, I see I'm not the only one in that situation!

    • Taking regular deloading weeks is the best thing you can do to give your climbing longevity. Just train other climbing related stuff during those, like core workouts, streching etc.

  • Watching someone return to a something after a break, make mistakes, be vulnerable and eventually succeed is super inspiring. Especially when it’s something that they love. The beauty of it is that this applies to all types of skills, not just climbing. Thanks Magnus.

  • watching you climb gets me so hyped for my next session, regardless of what you're working on. you inspire me to try problems i wouldn't have pushed myself to do in the past, and i've definitely improved at reading routes and applying different techniques just from watching how you tackle different problems. i've been in a rut for a couple of months, but your warmth, determination, and effort in everything you do really motivates me to do my best, even when things are hard. thanks Magnus :)

  • Knowing your condition when coming back is really essential. It can be really hard to swallow the pride that you have developed after practising so many hours and see it getting ruined when you cant do something you could do easily. Know thats its a part of the process and you will be fine

  • This video makes me feel a lot better about myself! A few months ago I traveled from the US to Norway to visit a friend and during my day I spent in Oslo I spent like 6 hours at this gym waiting for my hostel check in time (my flight got in quite early in the morning, the staff thought it was funny I was in the gym 90 minutes after arriving in the country lol) and I had a really good time hanging out with your staff and climbing all over everything (I forget his name but shout out to the Canadian guy that works there, he was awesome and really helped me learn a lot about Oslo and helped guide me to my hostel later!) and I know exactly which wall this is, it's on the top floor on the other side of the room from the Kilter board. I had a really hard time with all but one of the boulders I tried on this wall which frustrated me as normally I quite enjoy slabs! Makes me feel way better to hear even Magnus finds this section hard too haha. I love when you film here because it always brings back good memories from that amazing trip!

  • It is correct, we love to see the challenge and relatable too. I think the more important thing is to hear the problem solving and then the execution. That is very good. Like the 360 move, to talk through it. To hear you had a problem with it, then the steps to get past the hold up. Keep it up

We watch you because you are so talented not only in your passion of climbing but also in your passion of creating. You are one of the most humble people I have ever followed. You’re a true inspiration Magnus I do hope you cut yourself a break once in a while. You deserve it my friend.

  • It's how you explain, how you test yourself, how you make us viewers feel a part of your world, even if for 10-20 minutes. A grade isn't important, they're variable anyway. You are consistent in your style and personality. You are able to laugh at yourself. These make you very watchable. We admire your athleticism, the effort, the work you do put in, but we watch for your personal style and the way you invite us in. For that I thank you and continue to watch.

  • It’s true, of course it’s awesome to see you crushing hard boulders like it’s nothing, but for intermediate climbers like me I feel like I learn so much from watching seasoned climbers do boulders that are more accessible to me. It’s even enjoyable to watch climbers struggle, because you gain insight into the thinking process and can cheer them on like your bouldering buddies! The proof is in the pudding! - there are so many more female viewers when Marte is climbing cause we can relate!

I think the reason people watch you isn’t because they think you’re the best climber but because you are among best AND make unique entertaining content. Other climbers don’t

  • I can't speak for anyone else, but I watch your channel because of you. I am not a climber so I tend to prefer the "collab" style vids where you are teaching others to climb, or learning a new skill yourself. Having said that the pure climbing vids are still great as well. Its your honest approach to everything that really sells these vids. You come across as totally genuine. So keep up the good work and if its just you climbing a set of stairs then rest assured I will still be watching :)

  • I’ve missed 3 straight weeks of training due to a stomach flu, a busy work week and now just getting over a cold. This video couldn’t be better timed for me! And as for what climbing I like to watch from you? All of it! Yes I’m subbed to Stefano and Adam and Will and Shaun and I love seeing the hard stuff, but I also love seeing the variety that I get with your channel. Even when you aren’t climbing I still enjoy watching you, you have great camera presence and really fun “youtube-ish” video themes that most other climbing channels don’t have.

We're watching someone really good at climbing enjoying climbing just because it's climbing but also communicate well and entertaining about what's going on. Your open dialogue about what you're doing or did. And also teaching others to climb for the first times and your collaborations.

I watch your climbing content because I feel in awe knowing how difficult even simple problems can be for normal people like me. I watch the rest of your content because of your personality and commitment to difficult challenges. I find your way of approaching these very inspiring and if I can apply even 5% of your commitment to my daily life then I will see massive improvement. Plus, you're such a likeable and down to earth guy, and your video editing skills are incredible!

Your videos were the catalyst to me getting in the climbing gym and starting to make real progress in my health. Always great to know what your boundaries and to listen to your body.

I like to think that I speak for many people who watch your channel when I say that I love when you make climbing videos because it’s fun to watch you enjoy yourself while you climb!!! All love to you and climb on!
