humiliated by the best boulderer in the world // Shawn Raboutou - Спорт
Man, I know this won’t get as many views as the military ones but as a climber this is prime content! Thank you for it!
have to agree 100%. dropping a comment for more visibility and views so he'll make more of these haha
100% agree
👌🏻
Magnus + shawn = prime content!
was going to comment the same thing. Top quality stuff
I swear Shawn is like the Keanu Reeves of climbing such a chill and wholesome guy : )
Right!? I think I admire him keeping his cool almost as much as I do his climbing skills.
this comparison is so spot on
If I was that strong, I’d be so full of myself. What a humble guy. Awesome trait.
Lol yes! He's like Keanu crossed with David Duchovny
lmao spot on 😂
My heart melted when Shawn talked about his sister. You can tell he is just so incredibly proud of her. He just seems like such a genuine, lovely human and is a truly amazing climber to watch.
I felt it
totally!
Agreed. He knows that she could be so much better if she only wanted/didn't have to go to school. Only wow. These guys are amazingly gifted
Seriously, he was so chill, he made Magnus seem uptight 😂
@@Endelin😂
Man I can’t imagine the pride Magnus feels. To know that a route he set for Shawn when he was a kid became a staple in his progression. So cool to have such a direct impact on the people and sport you love.
It's so sweet how proud Shawn is of his sister - I love to see that sort of support between siblings. I can't wait to see what Brooke can pull off in the 2023 season, especially in the combined format. I think she's one of the more balanced competitors when it comes to bouldering and lead ability.
Couldn't agree more. He spoke about her like a super proud brother, you could tell in his voice how stoked he was.
It was so sweet to see his smile when he talked about his sister
Na, she got lucky to be in the 2021 olimpics. She migth cualify to some finals but no podium. There are many way better
@@Prodeproteccion she is 21 so her potential is probably nowhere near maxed out.
He seems so shy and reserved and just lit up talking about how strong she is as well as all of her non-climbing success. She seems like a great person as well.
The way Shawn talks about Brooke is so terrific. The love and support is palpable
Came right away to see who else loved to see him gush about her with pride. I would love to watch raw footage of both of them working a hard boulder together seeing their dynamic as siblings.
I was thinking the same.
She's a real inspiration. To be that strong while still staying in school at a high level is awesome work ethic
There's nothing humiliating about what happened in this video. You are so humble and encouraging Magnus and it's clear to see there's such a mutual respect between you two throughout the video. That you're able to complete most of the moves on this boulder in a single session is testament to how skilled and strong you still are, despite being out of the competitive scene for a number of years. I think you and Shawn share a number of qualities that are a part of your success (quiet strength, patience and determination with very little ego) and it was wonderful to see you two working together on this!
When Sean talks about a problem that Magnus set in his basement 10 years ago and all that's happened since then, I wonder if Magnus feels both proud and awe-inspired from Sean as a representative of the "next generation" of climbers.
Yea, its just a title for youtubeing 😁
That was totally humiliating... Shawn destroyed his bitch ass, made him look like a punk on that boulder.

Just kidding, Magnus is always humble and a gracious winner/loser.
I'm guessing he probably meant humbled and not humiliated. They're both exceptionally great though!
Almost entirely 'process' focused video, about as close to getting inside a climber's head as we are likely to get. Great work Magnus.
I know a lot of your new viewers are either non-climbers or beginner climbers, and so you don't post a lot of outdoor bouldering content anymore like your old vlogging days. I don't blame you as I'm sure trying limit moves and making micro incremental progress is only exciting to us actual climbers. I'm glad having Shawn was the reason you brought it back to the channel.
Spot on. Amazing when it happens.
Haven't climbed a day in my life, but I really like the outside bouldering video's
@@derx6666You should totally give it a go, it’s even more fun than it looks :)
Love this vid! Boosting engagement
@@danflak6363 I would but we don't have any rock climbing gyms here in my city, which is sad because we have a ton of great outdoor areas to climb here (Island of S.Miguel) but you'd have to buy ALL the gear and bring it yourself, unless you want your 1st climbing experience to be free climbing, and likely your last lol
I really like how "matter of fact" Shawn is. Not a ton of excuses or explanations, just kind of talks about how things are. Kind of like you in a way. Super cool to see you climbing together, it's pretty cool that you have a bit of history. Anyhow, super sick video with two beasts! It would be cool to see you work limit boulders with other climbers!
He is pretty much from the Chris Sharma school of climbing, rather than Ondra school. No overanalysis.
@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 Ondra seems to be pretty methodical about his dissection of climbing. I wouldn't call it overanalysis, he's just able to communicate very well the minute details of a problem. It proably stems from the way he breaks down the problems. The rich narrative helps with visualisation while preparing, and executing while climbing.
This is the best content you've produced in a long while.. I hope you do more intimate videos like this as it captures the social aspect of climbing and how it feels hanging out at the crag
Having known and climbed with both his parents in the 80’s and having the good fortune to watch and climb Shawn and his sister growing up. What is really a marvel is how personable and modest Shawn is… Especially in light of the incredible depth of his talent. This video really captures that. It was great to watch!
Wow you must be quite good as well then
Can we just appreciate how much production value Magnus has added to his videos? He has like 3 camera angles just inside the car at the beginning so that we get to see everyone's faces plus b-roll... Most people use one GoPro but Magnus brought a crew which makes it so much better.
great editing, great color grading, great sound.
I agree, but also comment sections have too many people saying "can we just appreciate". It's an epidemic of epic proportions.
@@Siberius- it’s seriously annoying
@@SuperLio333can we just appreciate us feeling that emotion though? :P
@@Siberius- It is almost as bad as the epidemic of people saying the epidemic of epic proportions that epidemic has in itself become an epidemic of epic proportions.
New format where Magnus interviews the worlds best/most interesting climbers while climbing in their discipline. Such a cool concept for the climbing specific side of the channel. Love it!
Just without the speed climbing please
Man, the stamina for you guys to do really hard boulders for hours is just amazing. I climb something hard for me and after like 5 tries I'm done.
I think that's what separates the pros from the other guys who have the capability to send v14+. Magnus discusses it a lot but when they're in top shape they can just give 100% all day. Unfortunately it seems like being in that kind of shape so consistently takes basically 24/7 dedication and outside coaching, nutritionists, pt, etc. Other super strong ass "casual" climbers I talk to who have sent those top end grades understandably take months to project something simply because of the time needed to be in that kind of shape. And that's saying something cause they're the bishop bros who work and live out of their vans so they already have so much more time than someone with a 9-5. If you can't devote essentially your whole life to that im not sure if its possible to push at that level consistently
So true but even though their level is way out there it does inspire me to try harder for longer and be more focused
@@mrmonsterhunter808 what's a "bishop bro"
@@h.7537 Bishop is a famous climbing area for bouldering, on the upper end, particularly, its high balls like Evilution or Lucid Dreaming. There's plenty of regular level stuff and even a lot of sport climbing. Personally haven't seen the term Bishop bros since I haven't climbed much outside, but I'd assume they're the guys who frequent there
@@h.7537 live around and climb at Bishop, CA
Can't get over how effortless Shawn makes that 3rd move with his left arm...he seems to float up the wall. Incredible.
The way he moves on rock in general is mesmerizing. He absolutely looks like he floats, or like some kind of weird snake that just slithers up there lol. I feel like you could show a random person a clip and explain that he invented some invisible harness that makes it easy to climb or something and they would believe it. His movements don't look natural, everything just flows together it's insane.
I kept thinking that too, he's got an abundance of strength from his toes to his finger tips, even when his left hand is down by his waist he can produce the needed force easily. In a couple of the goes when he's making the initial right hand move you can see his left leg acting like a tail to keep his upper body moving the way he wants. Those quick instinctual movements are one of the things that shows someone is a natural.
He does that move like I do a pullup with both arms and a 40lb resistance band helping me...
Crazy how iconic the Raboutou family is.
Man I love Magnus Midtbø's Content! He makes the climbing World a better place.
@@atombb4380 I fixed it. But because of that I dont got the heart anymore because RUclips deletes the heart once you edit the comment.
@@edgarschneider7570 not worth it, dummy
Except for all the kids going shirtless in my gym because of him lol
@@Chrisssssssssssssssssss Why is that a problem? Do you have a problem with going to the beach too?
@@AtomicMonkeybutt You make it sound like these are the same thing. I don't see the football teams in the world cup playing without shirt? Not even during training. There is a reason it is not allowed to take the shirt off anymore after scoring a goal. At the beach you go swimming, you wear as little clothes as possible so you don't have drenched clothes afterwards. When you go climbing it is just like any other sport. You wear sports clothes. It is only RUclipsrs like Magnus and Nerdy kids who copy him that make you think otherwise.
There was no humiliation.. Shawn is such a great teacher..and I think it's really cool to see Magnus as a student. Would love to see it the other way around, Shawn in Oslo, taking lessons from Magnus!
It´s called clickbait :)
Magnus also never took his shirt off so I'm pretty sure he just wanted to let Shawn have his glory ;P
@@chi11estpanda agreed, shirtless Magnus would on sight this ez 🤣
For me, this was an equivalent to watching great master artists talking with each other and showing each other how they create masterpieces while creating them for us to watch and listen. Unbelievable stuff Magnus.
Holy shit, this is our Christmas present.
I don't think casual viewers will appreciate how amazing this video is.
I really like how chill and relaxed Shawn is. Always with a positive mindset, no screams, no excuses, no ego...and climbs harder than anyone.
Just say you don’t like ondra
@@wellsbussey5569 haha
Definitely a lot of excuses. If i were to say the things he says about about my tough v6, it’d be an excuse to you
chill ass vibes bro, “positive mindset” maaan … as long as I’m just acutely _passive aggressive_ about somebody I don’t like, then that’s not technically the same thing as ‘negativity’ my dude!
Ignore these guys getting triggered as if you’re talking about them directly. Saying you prefer one thing over another isn’t passive aggressive 🙄
This has to be one of of my favourite videos you’ve ever done. So interesting seeing what it takes and everyone is real, humble and honest, absolutely no pretend made up drama. Two world class experts showing how it’s done. Many thanks to you all. Hope you are able to make more like this.
Thats it!
Humble and honest climbers, you nailed it, great video!
100% agree!
!!
You can see how much of a high quality individual Shawn is. No anger in his process, unconditional love for his family, patient, disciplined and thrives off self motivation over doing "the right things". You just know he has had the best upbringing where self-discipline and motivation have been encouraged instead of forced. What an excellent guy and what a great family for others to look up to.
Shawn is sooooo chill. No power scream necessary.
Oh my lord. Magnus outdoors with Shawn. Yes please. More outdoor bouldering videos pleeease :D
Shawn is crazy photogenic. His passion for climbing really shows, and he seems hyped to climb with Magnus after meeting him years before.
Seeing how these young beasts respect magnus who is becoming a part of the old guard of climbers is really heartwarming. Loved the bit how Shawn kept Magnus' route all those years
It's refreshing to see problems that really challange the pros! Makes it so much more relatable! Like I can take pride in the problems I struggle with.
You are such an amazing duo with shawn. Definitely wanna see more of you two together.
Had no idea that Mellow was Shawns project. Makes a lot of sense, since he is so incredibly mellow. Never see him upset. Never seem him even particularly frustrated at a climb. Dude is chill personified!
It's much the same down every grade level of proficiency, when you find a project. It's what makes bouldering so great; busting through seemingly impossible barriers, and discovering new strengths by working on something just beyond your reach and finding out it really isn't.
Coming from a skateboarding background where style is important, Shawn is super pleasing to watch. Great flow and precision.
Your the reason i started climbing did my first V3 the other day. I was 198 lbs out of shape and after watching your videos got motivated to climb been doing it a month now and im down to 185 and in better shape
I really like the idea of you going around and showcasing the new generation of talent (also still dreaming of the day you go back to Japan and climb with Tomoa or any of the other amazing Japanese climbers)
I would love a video with a Japanese climber! There are so many good ones to choose from. I bet Miko Nanaka has good English since she’s often training in Colorado and hanging with Sean Bailey.
@@kiyomimcfarlane1304 It's Miho Nonaka. =_=
That chill attitude helps so much in climbing, never understood the yelling and getting mad
So psyched to see this. Magnus Midtbo and Mellow are probably my two favorite content creators. Would love to see more collabs, Magnus brings such mellow and supportive energy, and it's awesome to see Shawn pushing Magnus too
Yes bro
Growing up climbing in the same gym with their entire family (and seeing Brooke climbing at my new gym recently) it is just inhuman how good these people are at climbing. The fact that you are able to (relatively) keep up with Shawn is absolutely incredible. We absolutely love this kind of content man, keep it up!
Check out alex honnold, guy free climbs while smoking with one hand
@@heartless604 you referring to that Joe Rogan clip? That wasn’t Honnald
Given that Sean has climbed 2 v17s and didn't flash a v13 (even a tricky one) speaks to his ability to remember and execute all the micro beta that he learns. Projecting is a skill and it's honesty inspiring to me who hasn't really projected anything yet. Who knows what the limit is!
Dude is a monster! Bro did 2 V17's in a pretty quick span of time. Also his climbing attitude is so positive. Great video Magnus!
This was awesome to watch. The editing was so well done. And Shawn seems like such a cool genuine dude. Love the positivity in the group every time someone makes small progress.
Shawn is such a genuine guy
Shawn is such a chill and positive guy, and sooooo strong! A collab with the mellow crew where Magnus is pushing his limits would be so cool!
reminds me of adam ondra, he may be cussing/screaming but once he hits the ground adam is just totally chill and laughing with friends/family. Its so crazy how control of their emotions climbers are, mentally tough and physically strong as hell. Very cool videos.
This is so cool to see you climbing with the people following in your footsteps! Loved this video so much, keep up the amazing work magnus!!
So grateful to you for making a classic climbing video like this, Magnus! It's so nice to see you trying hard outside.
Can’t stress enough how great Shawn’s response to the “are fans aid” question was
Not only is Shawn an absolute fucking MONSTER, he also seems to be the most chill, wholesome sweetheart in the history of humanity. Just unreal strength, technique, everything elite level.
Can´t get over how insanely positive this video was - easily my favourite in a long time (even though I´ve obviously watched them all ;)). I usually don´t comment on youtube, but we definitely need to boost the algorithm to see more of this in the future. You guys really are a vibe together, there is just no negativity to be found anywhere in those 18 minutes - just straight out love for climbing. Amazing!
This was easily one of your best videos. Just the conversation and climbing coverage. I would love to see more videos in this format
Dude this was fucking awesome! Shawn is such a monster. Doing 2 V17s in a single year is (to quote the legend Daniel Woods):
"By far the best bouldering year anyone has ever had!"
The humility and passion you bring to your content is fantastic Magnus! Hope to see more of Shawn!
this is no humiliation tho. This is just awesomeness. And you had a good go on the boulder as well Magnus! Admirable that you stay in the shape!
I think the word he wanted was more like humbled.
@@TheRumata23 yeah sounds about right
thanks for you vids guys, it's always a pleasure to watch/ i love the way it is filmed, you can really feel the hardness of the mooves. Keep going!
This was such a stellar video Magnus. Love the insights of Shawn, and the way you both so casually crush hard boulders. Would love more content like this!!
This I needed pretty badly today. Take my mind off of some tough issues I'm dealing with. So calming and relaxing. The music was not over the top and spot on. What a nice kid too. Great collaboration. You need more with him Magnus. Thanks so much for this.
This is so special- Shawn stays off the radar a lot and is extremely humble so I was never expecting this
For some reason this is my favorite video you have ever done. Shawn is world class chill, and you guys compliment each other very well! More please!!!
For as chill of a video this was. I felt the climbing stoke the entire time. I love this so much. Shawn is awesome and so are you.
Seems like the most wholesome guy. Can tell that he comes from a good family (climbing accolades aside). So much respect for the individuals that excel and show their own respect for the sport and themselves!
As a climber I really enjoy this content, great stuff thanks. The fact Will & Aidan both flashed it is even more astonishing.
Magnus, you're such a humble human. Thank you for bringin' this beautiful content for all of us. The climbing community seems to be so supportive and humble as well. I'm so happy I got into climbing!
So good, that was such a good look into the projecting process. Loved how Shawn thought to change beta so late into the session. Super keen to see you get the send!
Watching this video gave me pure joy ;)
Seeing Shawn casually doing crazy hard moves in his cool and calm way is amazing. Couldn't find any humiliation though ;) You helped out, chatted fuss-free and captured a through and through fine session in great quality. A collab with mellow would be awsome.
Humiliation comes from humility, which is like humbleness. Maybe the more precise word would be "humbled" in this case
Even when Shawn says something is really hard his climbing still looks effortless! Great video! Please make more content like this 🙌
I'm not sure you have actually watched the video, because it's pretty obvious that Shawn made a noticeable effort when climbing that boulder. Shawn is strong and amazing for sure, but that climb was not effortless at all, not easy peasy, not a piece of cake, nothing of that, sorry.
@@mrmoorash I'm commenting on how good Shawn's technique is, obviously not saying a V17 boulder is easy 😂
he once said in a interview that if he sends it always feels effortless to him. its either hit or miss with this hard boulders on tiny holds
@@ilikebananasFPV it didn't look effortless at all.
@@mrmoorash well if have to agree with you regarding this climb. But: you can magnus say at the end of the video that it was a training day for shawn. I didn't count but it was easily 8-10 gos from the start. He was also figuring out beta during the session. Compare that to his megatron and alphane videos where he did like 2 send gos per day
Excellent video, Magnus. The documentary style-intro was a really nice touch. Shawn is such a beast, and seeing how proud he is of his sister was sweet.
This is fantastic content Magnus. Had to leave a comment so you know how much videos like this are appreciated so you make more! Absolute beast of you to at least to some extent keep up with Shawn. Love watching you climb outside too.
I want to thank you Magnus, because of your videos I started climbing and It turned into a passion. It has been 2 months now and I sent my first v3 today. Thank you.
The level of skill in this video is unreal, few people will even understand just how difficult what you guys are attempting here is. Also, i feel like i'm hear TBOI music in the background, might just be generic piano lol, but regardless Switzerland is beautiful, very jealous of your guys' job.
This is definitely my favorite video that you have ever made! Not only is the production quality insane but you really showcased how good of a climber and how good of a person Shawn is. I hope you're really proud of this and know that we see the incredible effort you and the team put into it :)
I love this video! I keep coming back to watch it again and again. Both Magnus and Shawn are so wholesome and chill that they remind me that climbing is all about having fun with friends. Especially what Shawn said about being motivated helps his climbing resonates a lot with me.
I dropped everything when I saw the notification ! You and Shawn in a outdoor bouldering video ? *chef's kiss*
Love all the camera angles and everything. Plus Shawn seems like such a great dude and wholesome dude !
I'm so stoked to see Shawn on your channel! And I agree with him on that you should boulder more!
Awesome video Mangus! It brought back fond memories of hard bouldering sessions at the Campbell Cliff in Tucson when I first started climbing 42 years ago. I’m not pulling down as hard as I used to but it’s fun to live vicariously through your adventures. Keep up the good work!
More videos with Shawn would be awesome, really cool to see both of you try the same stuff. And he’s such a relaxed, nice guy. Loved the vid!
Awesome collab! I loved that story about you putting up a route in their basement haha!
Side note, the quality on this video is absolutely insane, love it.
Magnus, this video is such an achievement. I’ve been watching since the vlog days and I think this is your best yet. This rivals stuff you see produced by Sender that have whole teams of folks filming and editing. I hope you’re really proud of what you did here. Would absolutely love to see more of this.
Love these kind of vids Magnus! Especially for myself being a new climber, seeing the thought process on a boulder day project like this is very interesting🧗♀️
i recently got into climbing and i have been binge watching so many of your videos. watching this video made me hearten that there are always something to learn no matter how good u are. very humbling video. loved it! thanks!!!
Dude i absolutely love this kind of video! I've been watching Shawn a ton recently and it's sick seeing you climb with him. I feel like for how little you're bouldering outside, you're so strong! And climbing with people as good as better is so rare in your videos that is an actual treat to watch.
As a climber, I really needed to see this. Thank you for all the content. 🙏 love your work.
This was quality content. So great to see Shawn be so content with every try. He seems genuinely very happy to have this as a profession.
Keep it up Magnus, would love to see you climb this. Seeing how well you progressed on this boulder I do believe you can do this
Love seeing you outdoors, Magnus!
The whole Raboutou family just seem like incredible people: inside and outside. Perfectly sums up the whole climbing community: supportive, inspired, strong, motivated.
Shawn is such a chill dude, it was so cool seeing you two climb together. Would love to see more videos of you trying hard boulders outside!
I wouldn't say anyone got humiliated but that was an awesome boulder! Love this content!
Exactly. No humiliation was involved!!
really feels like the best of both worlds - the explaining from Magnus and Music and just climbing hard from mellow - awesome and stunning vid!
That was amazing. So cool to see how Shawn progressed. His foot placement was so precise.
Magnus being genuinely humble as a person has brought this channel this far. It really makes the videos great!
This video was awesome! Just raw Magnus and climbing some rock. Would love to see more content like this one! Takes me back to your vlog days when you were just starting.
I am not a climber, but I love how dedicated you are to spend hours on rock to achieve a single climb. Massive respect. Very well done. Thank you for sharing this experience.
Really wholesome vibes, and some of the best footage I've seen with Shawn, which I think is a credit to your filming and editing
undoubtedly my favorite video of yours! hope we get more like this soon
your ability to capture the raw vibe of a session + having such a strong guest just works so damn well, cheers!
Magnus you should absolutely absolutely absoLUTELY come back for another session! I love the outdoor bouldering you do the most and want to see you push yourself more. I always find the videos where you push yourself to be the most impressive and fun to watch.
This is AMAZING. Exactly the type of climbing that I love watching. Super chill, great vibes and really reminds me of my own outdoor climbing (minus 10 grades or so, lmao).
Wow. Love this. It's always nice to see people get excited about the stuff they love, but especially nice when there are two equally excited guys, and both on such a super high level at what they do. And also the mutual respect (maybe even admiration?) between you guys is really wholesome!
This is for me one of the greatest thing youtube can offer. 👍
Any time I feel myself building up in ego, I come to this channel. Climbers (at least the ones featured in your videos) are some of the most humble and humbling people to watch and listen to. It really calms me down and makes me smile.
There is a particularly chill, genuine & respectful vibe in this video. I really enjoyed this one, what a exceptionally nice guy he is too! Also, his forearms are insaaaaane!!
this video was so enjoyable and so chill. it felt like it was only 8 minutes long, I didn't even realize that I'd been sitting here for almost 20 minutes. i love watching your content Magnus. :)
Thi is one of your best video's in a while! I love the atmosphere and the way you talk about the problem. I have never climbed in my life but I love to watch positive chilled video's like this.
This is such a great down-to-earth video. I love it 😍 just the way you express the boulderers/climbers incredible willpower and talent. You guys just go for it again and again, giving it your best. Astonishing and admirable. Keep it coming!
Watching these incredible climbers project and struggle and work hard is so inspiring and motivating for a novice climber like myself. Thank you for this content Magnus!
One of my favs vids of this channel. Love the mix of chilling, intimacy, vibes and.. climbing : )
Top quality content. Shawn is so chill and humble, loved this
