Watching him figuring out a difficult boulder & sharing his thought process is one of the things that makes his videos so interesting. I've learned so much just by watching the process

    Also, regarding this video I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate you showing how you struggle with some boulders. It’s very easy for us (the viewers) to think you’re only showing “the best of the best”. Thank you for always teaching being honest.

    These purely bouldering and content vids are my favorite to wind down and watch before bed. Keep up the great content Magnus!

    I thought it was allowed to use the walls in climbing. Is that wall not allowed because there isnt a yellow hold on it? So if it was just one hold there he could use the entire wall?

      I also don't see any taped line between walls like they do on comps. If I were in this gym I would have think that I can use that wall.

    Hi Magnus, absolutely loved the video as always. Can't wait to grab the book!
    I'm a climbing coach from the UK, and I might have some alternative beta for the Black on the slab that took you a few tries. From the end of the dyno position, bring your left foot to the top of the bottom hold, then move your right foot to the foothold above your right hand. Sucking your hips in, reach over with the right hand (like a cartwheel) and press against the 2nd to last hold. bring your left foot to to stand on the sloper, and using the right hand banana sidepull, rockover to the finish.
    As we both know, a video never captures what the climb was actually like, as so this could all be rubbish. Love to see it as always though. Enjoy the Holiday!

    Man, I just love slabs. They're easily my favorite boulders. I'd love to like crimps more but they're so hard.

    Buying the book on presale for the autograph three years ago was an amazing decision. I really liked it and highly recommend it.

    It would be awesome to see you project boulders in Font for like a week - see what you can send day 1 and then see how you progress as you get familiar with the moves each day.

    I really like the more individual session feel of these videos! It's a challenge to figure out the beta before you speedrun the climbs

    For me, the most impressive thing during these videos is the endurance of a climber on Magnus level. When I climp I have a steady decline during the session, but it seems like Magnus has no stop! Incredible!
