I'm surprised Magnus didn't chalk up the axes
😂🤣
I was waiting when the "shirt" comes of
Didn’t realise you are into climbing dani
Didn't expect to see dani 👀
What the…. Milk man… on a climbing video…. *shrug* I’ll take it!
Nothing says "trying" like going to a world champs. Impressive as always
🤣
Just wait until you see the next video ... Impressive doesn't even come close
@@UIAA ? He didnt even finish the women's route. I was expecting him to beat the champs time.
@@are3287 yeah, brand new to ice climbing n you think he's gonna beat a world champ? 😂 Idiots I swear, almost like you didn't even watch the video
It was a great pleasure meeting you there! Such a nice and humble person!
@sehhi vooty ikr, and same!
I don’t know why, but the guy that was teaching Magnus is one of my favorite guests on the channel. He just seemed like a very calm, knowledgeable teacher. I’d really like to see him back on the channel to do some more ice climbing with Magnus.
seems like a wise guy with lot of knowledge about mountain
I like how he denied Magnus leading. He recognized that Magnus wanted to and still said "no", you are not ready yet. Making those hard calls in the face of social pressure is the type of person I want to be in the mountains with. Being able to say, "No, that is not a smart move right now and to stick to your guns." First rule of leading ice is "do not fall." Having somebody who is inexperienced with the tools and is used to falling on climbing gear might trust the situation too much and things could quickly go south.
@@shatter98 Yes solid guy, totally professional, would trust him totally with Magnus'es life 😀
agreed kind of reminds of the infamous Everest tragedy from the 90s. If only the guides were as solid and refused to lead unfit clients or sttop before the point of no return
Maybe next season Daniel ... Now Magnus has had a taste, we're sure he'll be back for more.
I love the just send it attitude hahaha. Everyone’s like, you want to go through some basics and technique pointers? Magnus response - nah, let’s just full send beta 😂
Magnus and his wonky helmet just wanting to get on with it reminds me of every overly keen 8-year old at the climbing wall
And no skull cap under it covering his ears.
Yeah, he seems like such a D bag. Like no dude, you can't lead. You've been ice climbing for 1 day and you still don't get how to swing a hammer. He's the type of over confident tool that ends up getting hurt, and then since he's a KZheadr, it gets media attention, and then they start imposing more regulations on ice climbing.
@@littlejackalo5326 okay tough guy
@@littlejackalo5326 you seem like a dbag lmao. Judgemental much?
@@littlejackalo5326 I don't think you read the room correctly .......
Ice climbing is cooler than I expected. Dad jokes aside this was really interesting 😂
LOL
Check out 'the alpinist' it's mind blowing
Love seeing Magnus out of his element and trying new things 👏
Finally something absolutely NEW!😃
@@xawerytrabka8813 thats a new spelling of that word, i guess.
@@sashapopovic3320 haha, sure it is. Edit it ?
Petra was already such a climbing legend and now I learn she excels at ice climbing as well. Massive respect! Also wonder whether Magnus will sneak in some questions about the Olympics like he did with Adam. Would be cool to hear more about it from a female athlete.
she is a total badass there was an ice climbing world cup a few years ago where she continued to climb to a podium position with one leg after injuring her knee quite badly.
Magnus is literally becoming THE climber. Throw him at anything, he'll get up it. I love this progression that he's had over the past several years... I can't wait to see where his journey takes him
Loved the instructor… He was an awesome teacher and really patient with magnus.
this was really amazing to watch, didn't know how ice climbing worked before!
Yeah, you're both amazing. Petra's humility is mind-blowing given her overall amazingness. Best of luck on the competition!
Spoiler: . . . . . . She won it :)
THANK YOU Magnus, for wearing a helmet! I see way too many pro climbers not wearing those, and I feel they might inspire other people to do the same, which is bad! You should wear a helmet while climbing, belaying and close to a crag. If rocks aren't a problem, someone might drop a quickdraw, carabiner or ice screw. Or a wild animal above the crag can drop a rock. You should wear a helmet! Life's much more valuable than looking 'cool' or the 50 bucks a helmet is worth. I'm glad to see you Magnus showing it!
What would be a good ice climbing route for someone that's never tried it before? How about the qualifying route for the world championships?
I tried ice climbing once in Sweden, managed to scratch my head right above my right eyes with the ice pick, blood filled hat, no stitching required, a wonderful day. Watching this video brings back so many memories, thanks Magnus!
1:13 That blinking is hilarious
Magnus being able to do the qualifiers after 3 days of training is incredible. Also he did match it for like half a second.
That undercling at 19:14 really had me go "ohhh" out loud. I didn't think that would go! I mostly boulder indoors, but I really appreciate getting a taste of what a 'sister sport' is like. I live in Sydney so I'm not aware of many ice climbing/dry tooling opportunities nearby, but I would love to try it one day.
This was so much cooler than I expected, I wanna try now! Great job as an ambassador for climbing magnus 💪
Hi magnus i love your videos ! You inspire me to climb as hard as i can everyday !!!
Ah, what a great video! After the figure 4 stuff with Pete in the last video, and you guys briefly chatting about ice climbing, I was hoping there would be plans for ice climbing; just didn't realize it would be so soon :). It's also fantastic that you got to meet with Petra - she's such an inspiring climber! I really appreciate that you not only did the more "traditional" ice climbing, but to also highlight the comp-style as well. It's interesting in that it reminds you a lot of what you even see with bouldering/sport (how those disciplines also have their own particular comp style!). It's also amazing to see how much the ice picks can really hold. It can feel scary to commit at first but with good placements, it's quite bomber. Looking forward to this series!
That enchante moment at 7:01 was so clean. Enchante in french meaning (nice to meet you)
So happy to see you having Petra on the channel. Every time I see her, I get flashbacks of that unfortunate ice climbing comp injury, her incredible willpower and resilience to pull through it and battle it out through pain and tears for a couple more holds with basically one functioning leg. The atmosphere, the crowd cheers, the great commentary, and ofc the beast that is Petra Klingler... great, I'm all teary eyed again :)
" ... or just tie into the rope and go ..." I loved the video. Thank you for taking us along on the adventure and trying new things.
It’s so cool to see you trying new stuff like ice climbing and bringing in all your experience into that new discipline. Great video!
very good video, Petra is such a nice person, lovely to see u 2 interact ! U also did so well (as expected :D ) on the wall, very nice to see something that close and at the same time that different from lead and boulder. THX
I have been watching MM for a while, and one thing that really stuck me with this video (especially the ice climbing outside bits) is how incredibly high the production value is. The closeups are clean... the camera work and editing in general. You could easily produce large scale climbing docs....
Magnus is such an inspiration. Pretty much the reason I started climbing in the first place, it's been so good for me. Loving the new content.
That looks fun indeed, but tbh I've always been terrified by the fact that you're actually climbing with sharp blades on yourself: a friend of mine who was doing a dry tooling competition had the axe slip off an undercling and open his forehead in half, nothing too bad but 2 cm below it would have hit his eye... Honestly, who cares, I'm gonna try it anyway sooner or later!
This is exceptional content! Awesome to see you finally try this after its been mentioned, here and there, in a couple of your videos over the past couple years.
Still the best climbing content on KZhead! A stefano ghisolfi video would be amazing in the future
I was looking forward to this video ever since you teasing it in a video and petra tagging you on an insta story. And man it did not disappoint, fantastic content and so fun to see an often looked over discipline in climbing
Amazing! And so great to have Petra over on the channel as well (and congratz to her !)
Just wanna say thanks for all your tips over the last year that I've been watching
Seriously... 7a+ from zilch in september?? Adam Ondra is quaking in his boots !
I climbed for 4 years to hit 7a+
i thought my progress was fast, i've been climbing about the same time but only just got my first 6b
@@PB-sk9jn Yup thank u so much tho, have had two climbing comps already, was at the uk nationals on Saturday 😊
@@TorchArts that’s still insane tbh just had a bunch of lead practice with climbing outdoors regularly etc 😊. Working on strength training atm, hoseok lee does a really good guide for training btw 💕
3:53 finally a form of climbing where I can beat Magnus! 20:01 oh... never mind...
So pleased to see you try this, it’s a totally different style than what you’re used to so fair play and hopefully we’ll see more ice on your channe!!! Thanks again as always for your content 😃
For those interested, the documentary "the alpinist" about Marc-André Leclerc is worth a watch!!
Mate, I am genuinely impressed with the production quality of this video. Great close-ups, phenomenal drone footage, amazing soundtrack/music which adds to the viewer's experience, and good audio as well. Feels premium. Keep it up Magnus and the videographer/editor.👍
As someone from the topics, watching this just shows how different and amazing ice climbing is. But the difficult part is knowing Magnus can't take his shirt off haha!
Man, the route reading is something else. I would never had guessed those underclings, if I hadn't heard them from the background.
Great video! You slayed the qualifier route, very impressive! The beginning part reminds me of when I signed up for an ice climbing trip a couple of years ago. Very different from normal climbing but was very fun.
I LOVE this video! I’m obsessed with high altitude mountaineering and now my favorite climber is getting into my favorite climbing! 😍❤️. You’re rocking it, Magnus!!! Keep it up! (And give us some more Marte videos soon 😉)
What an incredible effort and demonstration of skill. Crossing over is not easy, but the core skills were demonstrated so well.
Wonderful video Magnus, glad you are bringing youtube to Norway! Love the vids
After this i think you should do a collab with a arborist that climb high trees and does that work, i have been doing that work quite some years so i think it would be a nice challenge for you!
I wonder if ice climbing will be in the Winter Olympics some day? =3
Super cool seeing you go through all the climbing disciplines!
This is the best video in a while, so fun and exciting. Keep on crushing.
Great video! Really enjoy seeing you trying new things and meeting new people!
wow, I didn't know Petra was a pro ice climber too. Very nice one Magnus, please do more videos about ice climbing or alpinism stuff.
Magnus is just a beast, but we already knew this. Now I wanna try ice climbing. Also super cool hearing Petra's insight
Wow, that looked like a lot of fun. And a great introduction to ice climbing as well.
I really liked the video and seeing you do so well in a different category. Looking forward for the other videos to come but also I would appreciate some lead climbing videos!
Cool video! Very cool to see you going out of your comfort zone and great effort on the qualifier route
This was awesome! It’s so impressive that Magnus did that whole wall. Crazy.
You went to switzerland and did not tell your swiss fans? *cries in swiss*
:(
Love seeing you try some ice climbing! Cant wait for the next video
Really love these videos where you travel and have something we have never seen before on the channel. Would love to see some more exotic locations or colabs outside of what you usually show on the channel, like maybe parkour or trad climbing
Magnus, I don't know if anyone else noticed, but I love the inclusion of the Mark Rober music :) It is so catchy!
I did, although I couldn't place at first where I knew the melody from (I also don't think it's actually Mark Rober who owns/commissioned the piece of music btw, it's probably royalty free or from some site you can buy music for videos specifically - so I'm not even sure if he did it consciously!) but it is super catchy.
I think the first big youtuber to use it was Chris Ramsay.
I’m a skater, been skating about 21 years, and even though I will never ice climb, it’s so fascinating to hear about the mechanics and logic mixed with passion behind how to do another action sport.
I was a bit scared for the climbing picks to be accidentally dropped right on Petra. Such an interesting sport though!
Amazing video! Really interesting to see ice climbing for the first time.
Awesome job, Magnus! It's cool you aren't afraid to show us what it's like out of your element once in a while. Cheers!
Very cool and very educational! Nice intro to ice climbing. Wanna try it myself!
It's cool to see slightly different content on you channel! I'd love to see more content with you on a rope, lead, trad, or even just top roping.
So impressive to see Magnus doing this for the first time and just getting the hang of it in a few days., what a pro he is
I just learned this season and it was neat to see Magnus make some of the same small mistakes at the beginning :)
Really enjoyed this one! And really cool to see Petra on the channel as well :)
I’m amazing to see how versatile of a climber Magnus is and to see him incorporate some rock skills into ice climbing
I was rooting for you so hard on that climb in the end haha really looking forward to the next video
That was such a fun video, i really missed watching you enjoy trying new thing. Yesterday i tried drytooling for the first time and did m10, it was Such a amazing experience to climb with tools! Good luck
Such a nice Video! Seeing you in different climbing Styles is pretty interesting. I would love to see you do some multi pitch climbs
I don't even climb and I can't help but binge this channel. Good stuff Magnus & hello from Australia!
Both were excellent teachers that just exude confidence and therefor make their students more comfortable with what they're doing. I always thought i'd be terrified to try this, but listening to those two i can perfectly see myself give it a try... ...for like 3-4 meters up and then come crashing down from exhaustion. :D
Can't wait to see the professional stuff, its fascinating
We love Magnus! Best content out there
This kind of reminds me of the feeling in your vlogs way back! Really super nice and wholesome content, and nice people ❤️👍
Knowing the results of the world championships I'm really looking forward to next video!
I love how he’s so skilled in rock climbing but he stays very open to speaking about things that are challenging him and ready to learn
Very enjoyable video, fun to see the big difference between regular and ice.
I find it sooo cool that you did a colab with petra. Keep up the amazing videos
I waited for this video since the day Petra posted a picture with you in her Instagram-Story! Such an interesting and good video :)
Learned a bit before when I searched for figure 4, but with this video, Ice Climbing is more clear to me, Thanks !
Wow, what a video. I am so excited for this one!
Finally the video I have waited for all year long!
Great video. Awesome to see you try ice climbing.
Watched two vids from ur channel and that was enough for me to subscribe and binge watch super interesting stuff
Awesome video as always Magnus!
Beautiful soundtrack as you're climbing the wall! Felt cinematic.
Awesome as always!! You should join Stefano and Adam attempting Excalibur just to see how hard it is.
Simple Tips: Hips in shoulders out for swinging, squat down, hips out for kicking. I was taught "srewin' and pooin'". Works pretty well for me
That was sick! Somehow Magnus looked both very comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time on the dry tooling route 😂
Ice climbing looks so awesome ❤ I hope you had a lot of fun on the ice ❤
You can definitely see the body awareness climbing position- like he's always trying to get hips into the wall even though ice climbing gear doesn't really lend itself to that. The first climb I swear he even did a mini flag before remembering, oh yeah, I have stabby things in my foot I can just put them into the wall. I'd love to try ice climbing and I've finally moved to a place that has ice- fingers crossed for next winter.
Guess what?! I’m finally going to go rock-climbing, (indoors of course)!!! This has been on my bucket list for the longest time, found out six o’clock last night that I was going today, my sister sorted it out.
“So there’s a lot of technique” still absolutely smashes it
I dont even climb in any way but since I discovered your vids, I love them :)
ayyyyy a fellow non climbing climbing fan
This is amazing Magnus!
Greetings from Switzerland. I hope you enjoyed your stay in the Alps
