I just went to this gym and talked with an employee about this video! He said that they are now the TOP RATED gym with many many reviews on Google, but there has been no increase in visitors lol. They also showed me the paper Magnus signed. It was taped to the wall in a plastic paper protector. It was such a pleasant visit and the people are all so friendly there!
That's acually wholesome
I think many went on and gave it good ratings
@Hallie copying the top comment word for word lmao
Is the same girl climbing now??
@Amir Aryan wow thanks totally not a scam!
When being the worst rated turns out to be the best thing for your business.
OK so the rating for the place is now 4.5*. I hope y'all didn't just blow up their spot! haha
I just read through the reviews. Seems they had an unfortunate staff member for a bit, but that is definitely not the case any more!
Stonks
Yeah, a swimming pool near me had like a dictator for a owner, and both the staff and the people swimming hated her guts. I couldn't do any advanced tricks, but now I can.
Now that's she's gone. The pool couldn't be more lively. And the ratings definitely went up.
@@dbutters3927 Chill out man.
It became almost instantly obvious that the low rating was because the gym has hard boulder problems and isn't catering for the new climbers, its tailored for the strong climbers.
Exactly, this place was probably rated low because it's a gym for "real" climbers, not just for the casual climbers that go climbing for a workout instead of going to a regular gym. Nothing wrong with that of course, but there is a real difference in who they are trying to attract.
I could also see how the wall covered with grips on every available surface might be an issue for a lot of novice climbers, but that is not really who this place is for.
@@MorpH2k It's probably in part because of space limitations.
Maybe the stickers system might be confusing and less welcoming at 1st for beginners, that already trying to figure out how everything goes/works.
Probably not exclusively because it has hard problems - I'm relatively experienced, but mentally I still struggle with 'spray walls' - trying to plot routes myself or spot holds among many other holds. It could definitely result in a negative review from a person, but all it takes me perseverance and taking the time to learn the gym/route style.
I’m not a beginner but I know I probably wouldn’t pick a gym like this because I get overwhelmed visually very easily. Seeing all the holds together in one place combined with the different color tape everywhere would just be super overwhelming for me. It would still be good to try but probably not something I’d do on a regular basis.
The gym is now rated 5 stars with over 1600 reviews because of this video! XD
True story?
@@omgurheadsgone what's the gym name
@@tlanhluachuteh174 Quail Climbing Gym
@@erikszirnis2780 ok. Thanks
hahhh how ironic
This gym genuinely made me smile. Their excitement of him being the first to finish the one route. :,) it's more like a climbing club than a typical "gym"
I've lived in Japan for a few years and have gone to a small climbing gym with a similar vibe to this one. It's a really positive atmosphere where everyone is cheering each other on, giving fist bumps after finishing problems etc. It's kind of a cultural thing.
He wasn't the first to finish that route. Other names were on the sheet as well. He was the first to ever complete it in only one attempt.
@@gaaraheater44 the other names were the route setters though. the guy says to him 'first send' when he hands him the paper and the 'Send' section have no name on them
Yeah I went to a tiny gym in Mississippi when I lived there a couple years. Similar vibe and it was always the same tiny group of 'regulars', definitely had a club feel
@@emissarygw2264 YOOO WHAT! Dude was it the Hangout? I work there!
It looks like those Japanese movie plots, where the smaller temple turns out to have an amazing master that will teach you the real secrets haha
Isn´t it more like a chinese thing?
Probably hahaha
It’s almost all movie plot bruh
That sounds vaguely familiar but I cannot recall a single instance of actually seeing this.
That's just karate kid lol
This really feels like the love-child of a long-time climber. Feels very cozy and welcoming :) Bad rates are probably from beginners who went there, didn't understand the system and couldn't climb anything so they thought it's bad
actually most of them complained about the staff being unfriendly and not even saying "hello" or ""goodbye". As for the routes, they either said it's too hard for newbies, too easy or "fun".
Let's be honest... that place was NOT cosy. It looked cheap and rusty. Now, that doesn't mean you won't get a good workout out of it, but I can definitely see why that would be a put-off for many people. It would be for me, for one.
@@maxkho00 depends on what you consider cozy, for some the rustic, spartan look feels a lot more comfortable than the sheen you'd get at more commercial gyms, but you can bet those people are NOT anywhere near being beginners
@@maxkho00 not everyone looks for the same thing sure. did look very different from a shopping mall nail salon or those type of places for sure.
@@maxkho00 it feels very cozy for me, if you think that a "planet fitness" style place is cozy thats on you but this feels very much like home to me, a simple place with everything you need.
When Magnus said "I feel like when climbers watch you it's encouraging, because they don't want you to fail they want you to succeed" I just remembered climbing years ago with supportive wonderful friends and strangers. It's true. Climbing is collaborative and supportive, it's why it's such a great sport.
That is so true. It was one of the things I really liked, when I first started climbing. I was way into BMX (very similar to the Skate scene) back then, and I instantly felt at home, because it is very similar in that regard. People are stoked if you do something that is hard, for you. Doesn't matter whether it is easy or hard for them. You are pushing each other, because the only true fight is with yourself and the wall/trick.
Yea the opposite of surfing
Wow, that totally puts a different perspective on it. I used to avoid bouldering at my local gym because i felt like I was on stage and I get stage frught similar to the girl in this video. I have just recently decided to give bouldering another chance, I'm totally getting that collaborative and Supportive vibe, and really enjoying the change from sport climbing
I guess that's why I feel so tense when I watch these climbing videos..
Yeah, I really love that, because I feel nervous about people watching me on the wall sometimes, but then whenever I'm watching anyone else I'm willing them to succeed! So a reminder not to assume the worst, for sure!
"Normal Girl that turned out to be Girlfriend tries Worst Rated Climbing Gym in Tokyo that turned out to be the Best One"
The last video I saw from him was that video. Got me a face on the face seeing her in the thumbnail
She's improved at climbing for sure.
True
Well this has escalated quickly
@@talvinmudhar4827 im dead rn best comment 2019
lol, it's lowest rated because it's actually hardest and realest.
1 star it was TOO HARD boo hoo lol
actually it had to do with one of the old staff members they had, i think they fired him long before this vid though
@@Iceican why?
@ i think he was rude to customers.
Though granted, struggling to even find holds because it's challenging to see the tape etc isn't ideal.
*Fun fact:* This gym, Quail Climbing Gym, is now 5 star rated with 1378 reviews!😂
Ha!
Awesome!
Mostly from people who haven't been there I guess.
2,240 now
Loved how he was first to top that route, flashed it at that!! Couldnt you hear the excitement in dudes voice when he nailed those holds?!! Pure joy! Was almost like an autograph at the end.😁 Love it!! Genuinely made me smile that was so heart warming for some reason!
He definitely made their days! The dude in the glasses looked pretty stoked in the picture lol 😎😄
Non-climbers can never fully appreciate the difficulty in mastering technical or challenging climbs. But to us mere mortals watching Masters of stone like Magnus its as spellbinding as it is inspirational...
I love that about this gym, that the first ascents for different routes are recorded like that. It makes it feel special and even more like a community. What an incredible job they’ve done with such limited space
When Magnus is doing the first difficult one, the guys in the background are saying "really strong" in Japanese.
You rock
yea, he's totally oblivious that these guys aren't "helping" him they are fascinated at how good he is. I'm sure this small gym has never had a pro climber in it before. (not saying they aren't nice, Magnus just doesn't get that he's a monster)
The guys a beast
Has the gym owner seen this vid yet? Did he find out who Magnus is?
timestamp?
This gym has now over 600 reviews and a 4,9, it might become the best reviewed in Tokyo
Yes and OVER 95% of the ratings come from people that never were in that gym personally.
@@maximilianmander2471 well i dont need to even be in that gym to know it earns better than 2 stars
@@jonttu8848 Please, don't say that, bc it's foolish to assume the gym is cool because of the video. Japanese people gave them a poor review bc it doesn't fit their needs, the gym is supposed to satisfy japanese people, not a foreigner.
@@FagnerDeschain except tokyo has millions of foreigners every year so maybe this was just the marketing they needed to get the foreigner demographic
Fagner F Souza Other people were saying the rating was from a rude worker that had been fired long before this video was shot, so it wasn’t representative of their business anymore
The laser pointing holds is actually a great idea. This feels more like a climbing club than a full gym. It's the kind of place i love to find traveling. I live to find native hangouts over the touristy spots. Great video
So... I'm moving to Tokyo to be with my SO in January. Just looked up this climbing gym out of curiosity. 20 min walk from her apartment. I think I'll be making a visit soon!
Edit: Just came back from my visit! Yeah, it's super small, but the staff who helped me seemed super friendly, and the routes were fun! I'm a relatively beginner climber so I couldn't get beyond blue grade, but it was worth it.
Appreciate the update. How’s living in Tokyo been overall? Were you already in Japan?
@@FilmColossus No I moved from the UK to Japan in mid January. Living in Japan has been great so far. Only concern is with money so far, since I haven't found work yet. Other than that, if given the choice, I'd live here much longer than the year on my visa. Super clean, super efficient public transport, and the food is amazing.
As far as climbing goes, I've had some time to explore more gyms in Tokyo, and I have to say Quail is much further down the list now. It's not a bad gym, but definitely not the best. On my way to B Pump Akihabara now which is definitely the best I've found. 4 floors of decently sized walls, and a rooftop boulder to top it off. Would definitely recommend a visit to anyone interested in climbing in Tokyo
@@ItsSansom Akihabara has so many cool things. Hope the job hunt works out. What industry are you in?
@@ItsSansom good luck here in Tokyo.
This is exactly why people need to judge for themselves instead of going off of others' opinions. you never know! Seems like a great atmosphere at that small cozy gym.
i was a n internationally competitive fencer and an olympic hopeful. my fencing club was in a small warehouse ina shady looking area, but we had olympic coaches, and many many top end competitors for the different weapons. The smaller less flashy places are the ones that put their heart into what they do, and not blow club funds on a look.
The thing is, it may seem pretty disorienting for beginner/intermediate climbers.
@@MechantPoulet Even then, they seemed super friendly, so I'm pretty sure they'd be able to help all kinds of people :)
MechantPoulet it certainly is. I’ve been to japan quite a lot and it really is at first but everyone is so nice and friendly you get used to it. I did feel a rubbish climber afterwards though haha
@@jasonpressler7111 Its same with alot of boxing gyms.
Before Magnus: 2.8 stars
After Magnus: 4.9 stars
now 5 stars
ö

I would call it Magnus effect, but name is unfortunately already occupied
this is like the HARDCORE climber's home, like literally you can feel ppl come here train their ass off with sweat and blood, working with some rediculously hard problems, that's also why I love and so appreciate the feeling of spray wall so much, it's humble but rock solid for you to improve, and ppl in these kind of climbing gyms are much much more friendly and genuine than the big commercial gyms
I can definitly understand why its rated so bad. I don't climb but watch your videos a lot. To have so many of these routes clamped together is just very hard to understand the lines. But I can also relate to the climbing geeks running this gym who are so sofisticated with their passion and their limited space.
Im glad you guys enjoyed this gym!
Yea I understand too, as a beginner I don't really want to search where I can or can't take support, I just want to go and climb!
I'm not super familiar with different climbing styles, but if I'm correct it's the Japanese bouldering style to set a lot of problems within tight spaces of each other, but I don't disagree about trying to search for holds and such if you aren't familiar with it
It's mostly the color grading system for me. Not exactly difficult but you have to look at it longer than you would at any other place. It would help a lot if they made the holds the same color as the grades

@@squidwardo7074 All of that brings additional cost though. Tape is quite cheap and just using the same 300-400 odd boulder holds that they probably have is huge in terms of price efficiency rather than having to put sets of similarly colored holds together.
The gym has a near 5 star rating now after like 400 people gave them a 5 star rating in the last hour
Over 800 ratings now. Went from the worst rated to best rated in a matter of days!
@webnothing to be fair, 2.3 is quite average, if if they this friendly imagine the actual proper 4-5 star rated ones in Japan

@@stevethea5250 I honestly don't see the connection between your comments
This just seems like a super old school climbing gym (essentially someone's garage like they used to be) that has none of the fluff. You'll meet your best friends at places like that.
Yeah. I used to train in those before. Good times, good crew, we didn't have any better. New generation never had that(or had to go through that).
@@bozoc2572 ok boomer
Thought the same. It basically has bad ratings probably because it has no sauna and the holds are "dirty"
@TheGhost Sounds like a good new years resolution to me!
Usually those gyms have about 6 people and 1 worker
She's feeling anxious because the dudes in the gym are watching.
Over 2 million people on RUclips: 👀
Yeah, I mean, she's gorgeous, although that may be just me, not too keen on tall women.
@@albertobernal2537 Nobody asked your opinion on her body mate. She was nervous about being judged for her climbing
@Emularis Totally agree, that makes more sense. Pity I annoyed GrijzeKots here as well.
@Emularis Dunno why should you care about others opinion. Maybe you will just suck at climbing, but who cares?
We ain't paying attention to her climbing though...
I've watched this a few times now. Such a great feel to the whole video; the enjoyment the locals are getting from seeing someone take on all these challenging boulders; the dedication to improving their climbing; the lack of bass-heavy music in the background; and Magnus' enjoyment of the whole experience.
Super wholesome Magnus!
When they started with the laser, it was “Magnus in cat mode”.
That gym was so cool!
I havent seen the video from when started it, but from what I gather, The reason behind the game is to forego "Ego". By eliminating the word "mine" especially in a group/work setting, it shows less possessiveness and egocentric tendencies. So, I dont believe that is "stupid". I believe a true man is someone who is comfortable in removing his ego in situations especially group projects where you may want to monopolize the idea/project etc and allow everyone to have input.
Girl: Worried about being safe.
Magnus: Worried about not being able to get a good workout.
Yeah..its not america.
Something Goku would say
I love the comment section 🤣🤣😭😭❤️
Like your profile image. One of my favorite bands.
Taunic kudos, I like yours as well. Super underrated band.
Damn, this gym has that hardcore underground anime atmosphere, where you know, secretly, all the best climbers gather, hang out, have some secret tracks, everything looks very esoteric and lived-in. Looks like Magnus for a moment, was part of a plot of slice of life anime about climbers (Episode 5 - A mysterious master appears).
I love it.
Exact vibe
You should stop watching anime

This summarizes my experience with climbing in Tokyo, just love so much more small local gyms! They are the place to make friends and enjoy climbing with others. Bigger gyms like B-pump or T-wall are cool and well equipped, but people are rarely that friendly. Also, I find that even if they don't have a hard enough grade for you officially, they often have some made-up problems that people are working on that are above the maximum grade of the gym. Writing this comment and getting ready to go to my local gym!
Yep, I've been to several gyms in Japan, not a single bad experience. Super welcoming community at the climbing gyms here. My local has weekly problems at different grades the put together and you write your name on the list if you complete it.
Turns out the worst rated climbing gym is for hardcore climbers..

I love the happy ending. It’s symbolic in that you never know how fate will play out. One day you’re the worst ranked gym in the entire massive city because you’re misunderstood and the next you’ve suddenly got the endorsement of one of the best climbers alive.
just pure reiteration that online reviews can be extremely subjective and baseless. i've experienced this (not for climbing gyms) many a time and really glad to see these guys get the praise they deserve. nice work magnus and team.
There's a real sense of community and culture at that gym, cant understand the low ratings!
Possibly it's a niche gym? There aren't many jugs from the look of things. Just a proper climbers gym (if you know what I mean): boards, over hang, campus rung, hang board. Done.
hyau23 yeah as a newbie I completely see how that would be disappointing.
People expect a lot more from a gym here, more like a "club" in terms of price & expectation. This is clearly a climber's gym, so maybe a bit intimidating for a novice. Also for rating, it's less inflated, so 3 is as expected/average, 4 is really good, and 5 usually means not many ratings.
The walls look so congested. Following taped routes in a congested wall like that doesn't seem too fun
Saddie it can be daunting at first. But it has great carryover for when you start climbing outside where there are no uniform colored holds to spot. Like Magnus said, it’s also great for improving climber memory.
Guy: "Very hard"
Magnus: "Hold my beer"
You mean "hold my Macdonald's" haha
Hold my chalkbag 😆
*tshirt :)
aww a hold my beer joke 😊
And at the end "Yeah it's fun".
I have been only been bouldering for 3 weeks now and this video made me feel so much more comfortable knowing there are really nice people in the community that will help you on problems and techniques. Of course as well thank you magnus and marte you have been driving my crave to get better and indulge into climbing❤
I live in Tokyo and I love that you got away from the "touristy" areas. The city has so much to offer a visitor. Shame I cannot show people around my neighborhood when they visit - it is their holiday so I take them to places they will remember (tourist spots) - occasionally I get to show people the real Japan
Name checks out
"I think when climbers watching it's encouraging, it feels like they don't want you to fail, they want you to succeed."
This might be my favorite sentence about bouldering now 😀😌
That's always been my favorite thing about climbing. Sure you can be competitive, but it seems to always be in the vein of pushing each other forward.

Taking this video at face value, it was great! I like how it shows that sports and athletics can unite people and cultures even if there is a language barrier we can still communicate through our fav sports.
Finding this two years later and I am so glad I did, because this just put a huge smile on my face. Super wholesome attitude. We need more of this on RUclips! Thanks Magnus!
the gym looked really good but i can understand why the rating was only 2.8 stars: usually gyms like these cater to a very specific niche of people and can be intimidating to people who are unfamiliar to a certain sport. Many will try a more beginner friendly gym or "commercial" gym and hold that as a standard, while in reality in gyms like these there are greater possibilities for emerging athletes and people who really want to get into the sport.
It looks like a pretty small DIY kind of place for a dedicated audience, Magnus falls within that audience so it's an amazing gym for him. But imagine walking into that gym as a beginner not having a clue how the system works and having to get used to everything, it's probably very confusing and not very fun.
Well I’d not see a reason to visit and rate it so low? Seems a bit rude just because it caters for a higher standard of climber .
Yeah, as an olympic weightlifter a 5 star gym to me would look like a dump with barely any equipment to someone who's used to flashy commercial gyms. Good quality basics is what matters to people who actually care, whereas people who aren't very serious are more concerned with the extras that don't matter.
It would probably make sense for the gym to advertise itself as being for the niche audience it actually caters to to avoid the low ratings from casual climbers. They probably get new members more from word of mouth than people searching online though. Magnus should have left a review that specified the gym served him well as a "professional" climber.
Agreed. I started climbing in a commercial gym a couple years back near my college. A few months after I started I went back home and tried out a local gym there which was pretty similar to this video's gym: non-commercial with polished holds, and sandbagged ratings. Didn't really like it. Now I'm a much more experienced and stronger climber and feel that my commercial gym I still go to is lacking in the higher grades at times and I'm always itching to go back to my gym near home. It really depends on where you are in your climbing experience.
The first gym they went to felt like the worst rated climbing gym in Tokyo.
That place was trash lol
Agreed
I think they said $30 each for just bouldering. I thought my gym was bad at $23 for both.
@@grandaddy0807 Or they were robbed because they thought "rich European"
Imagine having a twister board to choose your next hold.
Right foot blue.
Left hand yellow.

Omg that sounds like such a cool game I wanna play it!!!
We have competitions like this at my gyms spray wall.
That was much fun to watch. Not only are the two of you very nice, I like how friendly the people at the gym were. It reminds me of an outing I did one time with 6 or 7 of my friends on bikes in Japan, we found a high bridge that we jumped off of into a river and all the Japanese people we met in the area were so nice and friendly. It was far enough away from were most Marines usually travel that the people were excited to meet us as Americans.
This gym would be a color blind person's worst nightmare xD
What's harder than black rated routes? CB = color blind
Every time I'm in a climbing gym I feel like I'm color blind. Lucky me, I climb real rocks more often than gyms.
The tape was shape-coordinated too.
Almost every climbing gym is color coordinated though. This one is just a little more confusing bc it's by tape color and not hold color.

Considering I was fortunate enough to catch a video this early, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. Always brilliantly edited, great music and just great fun. It was actually largely because of you that I started climbing a year ago. You're a really genuine, likeable, and talented guy- I'll be continuing to watch and support you
I'll piggyback on this comment and say that I started climbing in April because of Magnus. Thanks a lot man!

couldnt have said it better myself! I've gone from never climbing to changing my entire lifestyle to suit my climbing needs lol.
Great vid. Super awesome of you to help them out like that. At the end you talked about subscribing, and it made me look to realize I wasn't, even though I've watched a good amount of videos you're in, well subbed now. Take care.
I don't know if it was the owner but the guy who was helping you was so nice. The gym I go to always has about four people working and they're always incredibly helpful and it makes so much difference for the atmosphere. I am a beginner so I am still a little unsure and people like that always make the experience more fun.
This is a real climbers- climbers hall rated by people that like to rate things on the internet instead of climbing....
I can imagine how Magnus and his girl must of looked camera filming each other and talking a foreign language. Bunch of weirdos! What are they even doing? And then Magnus climbs..... oh ok. Hes a pretty good climber. 😂
The irony is that after this video almost all the reviews are from people who have never even climbed there
Or rated by noobs who don't know the old system and are too confident to ask for help. Or just see that it's in the suburbs of a big city and think it's small and sparse, not even going there.
A gym where you can to first ascents?? How fucking great is this? Fuck the rating.

Passive participal which doesn't match the active participal of the sentence.
It should be English is taught to children starting at six.
Or
English and another language are taught
Or
Our education system teached English starting at six (but that could imply they don't any more so stylistically taught is better here)
Edit typo on the grammar sorry. Active vs passive is done by instinct to native speakers I may have flipped it up. It involves who is doing the action the subject or the object.
@@lukeseguin1875 tl:dr
This gym is now rated 5 stars and has a pictures of Magnus with the staff and his girlfriend climbing. How wholesome is that
Magnus, you could do a whole series visiting random gyms throughout the world and it wouldn't get boring.
The gym I go to is sort of loved/hated because despite being the cheapest gym, it's kinda old and their V0s are V1s-V3s in other gyms, so usually beginners get discouraged. Also the level of the climbers is pretty decent and they won't spray beta, so it feels really awkward the first couple of times.
I didn't know about this and I just thought "I'm a beginner, falling is just a part of the process" so I just kept going. After a couple of sessions I remember when I nailed my first boulder the locals whom I hadn't spoken to actually cheered and fist bumped me. They had been watching and I became kinda like "the newbie". After that, the vibe was pretty much like the one in this vid regardless of my level, lots of friendliness and support. It's a friendly community, all I had to do was showing commitment.
Just started watching you, I've been intrested in climbing for a very long time but never started for some reason. I think you just started my climbing career, thank you!
You guys are so humble to watch, thank you for great content!
I loved the video! As always :D Thank you for the amazing content Magnus. You are a great man, very humble and kind :) I'm glad you had a good time on that gym and also that you left a good review for them! and a new Record as well! :D Also, I can't believe how fast time flies, this video was uploaded almost 3 years ago, that is, I've been following you for about 3-4 years, I remember very well when you went to McDonalds with Marte, I was so happy for both of you that day you uploaded the video :D it was like the start of a true love story. It makes me happy that you met and that you're still together
When Magnus shows up to your gym, destroys your hardest Boulders, and then demands you to let him climb harder boulders.
Love ya.
Haha, he is like 'is this hard?' then flashes the route and says, 'it's fun'
He shouldv'e taken their sign with him when he left ;)
Magnus should visit the worst rated gym in the world XD
Next stop. Maximum security prison.
@@hop-skip-ouch8798 If there were to be climbing gyms in prison I would purposely go to prison to focus on climbing and only climbing XD
@@dubzxi2979 I think he meant that escaping the prison would be the most challenging climb
@@TabSpencerMusic Depends on your life situation, If you work full time its a little harder to do so. If you are in prison, thats all you really have.
@@TabSpencerMusic wow you must still live with mum and dad and have no job or Bills to pay if you can focus on "only climbing" either that or you speak (or type in this case) without thinking. Smh indeed.
I really liked this video. The music wasn't loud, the level of your voices was perfect, so the audio didn't clip at all, the commentary was nice, so the conversations was relaxing to listen to. I was impressed by how the gym record their statistics and they had you sign after you completed the climb, now that is customer satisfaction. It makes you feel like, part of something, very supportive. That should make anybody feel like going back to that gym
Man, this video is so nice. Half tru I found myself smiling, watching with eyes open and enjoying the great energy and vibe. Thank you.
maybe they rated it themselves to stop everyone going there!!
Lol
I thought the same... but they probably need some cash.
Could be no joke.
You laugh but it happens. People use businesses like this to launder money in some kind of criminal gang/mafia related organisations. They dont want people going there really they just want it to look like a legit business at face value :) I know...... I play GTA 5 hahahahaha
That was my thought
I mean, how sweet these guys in this gym are? Amazing experience. Goes a great way to show what "low quality" means in a society accustomed to impeccable quality. Wow.
That's usually what I find, when I chat with others in the gyms I go to. People are friendly and helpful. If this one beta doesn't work, hey, what if you try this instead. Love it.
I mean, they were very sweet. I wouldn't chalk it up to Japanese culture of quality though. Do you think Japanese people are incapable of being rude or running shoddy operations?
I'm more inclined to call it climbing culture, which in my experience all around the world is friendly and inclusive.
@@DanKaschel Japanese people have respect ingrained in their very culture tho. So the majority are very respectful, and a lot of them are just genuinely kind friendly people
now the gym is being the highest rated, Magnus can make a video of "Trying the Highest rated Climbing Gym in Tokyo" and go to exact same place lol
Your presence was a big upgrade for the gym.. who will not be nice to such an amazing & wonderful couple.
Both of you win their hearts with your warmth & friendliness.. and of course with expert climbing skills.
I really admire you both❤️
Tokyo's hole in the wall gym's have a crazyyyyyy culture to them that's like totally opposite to the more flashy and modern gyms. Put the gym in the description!
Its called Quail Climbing Gym , it's name is in the video and it's the first result that shows up if you google it.
@@Seymour101 I imagine several thousands of people just searched for that particular gym after this video was published
It has 4.9 rating now
Aww it’s nice that they have a first ascent logbook. Such personal touch!
I found your channel yesterday from another random tube climb video, I've never been into climbing or ever watched it, and now I'm hooked!
When lockdown here in the UK is over I'm going to try a climbing gym in London some where and see how I like it :)
I love this video, because it shows the value in approaching a new place/experience with an open mind and heart, no matter what. Its a casual display of a very healthy approach to many things in life. Very very nice place and video :)
This is honestly one of my favorite videos on youtube. This organic story out of a stupid idea on top of smooth editing and great content. Keep it up Magnus.
this videos did remind of me travelling and just trying random experiences and places.
Its the perfect embodiment of this inner feeling.
16:41 listen in the back a guy says "Maji Ka" which means "are you serious" LOL.
I always come back and watch this video every once in a while. My favourite Magnus video
I really love everybody's energy in this video, all are super friendly including Magnus and Marte :3 very nice video, happy you had a good time :D very positive! ^_^
Guys looked like they were having a great time watching Magnus.
I mean, wouldn't you?
@@lennertlaevaert8711 I wish.
I think it's the same in any gym. Whenever someone REALLY good starts crushing hard boulders, everyone is staring. I know I would!
Well so are we :p
@@lennertlaevaert8711 That's why we're all here, right?
17:53
Magnus: "Oh yeah very hard"
Next moment: _flashes it_
I watched this video when it first came out. Then about a year later. And finally again today. And that damn problem he got the FA on looks more insane every single time. I assume it is because I've myself become stronger last years, so that move(that bump up while other hand is low in undercling) has become more relatable for me over time, as at first it seemed to hard to even comprehend. But by now it looks just like pure insane madness that move :D
One of my favorite vids! Seeing you flash all those hard problems and seeing the kindness of the owner
Honestly don't know how Marte can be even more down to earth and fun than you Magnus. You guys make my day.
I know this 'laugh' at 16:49 - it is 'laugh' of normal climbers witnessing pro crushing their hardest problem on first try :D.
Thank you guys, this was such a heartwarming video, absolutely loved it. Cannot wait to check it out when in Tokyo!!
Magnus, you meet the nicest people where ever you go. They couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly. Loved seeing Marte climb in her new shoes!
I love this video because it shows how climbers are so similar regardless of culture.
Why can’t any other girls just say what they want for Christmas like she did.
That's the kind of overlooked trait you should evaluate when choosing a mate! Plenty of girls are straightforward.
For real
They probably already said it before, they're just hoping you cared enough to listen
Al lot of girls do and some wait to be asked ☺️
@@lenisemicolon I would get the big oof if I called my gf a 'mate'
That laser pointer beta was amazing
This video gives me tears of joy for you. So much humanity and intimacy in sharing the moment with the people.
"I'm just normal girl" 😂marte's too cute
You can tell magnus was genuinely having a blast - refreshing content despite an "unoriginal" concept!
I agree. It's also refreshing that he mentioned that it isn't an original idea at the start. He is way too humble
This was so wholesome! can't wait for you two to go back!
This is amazing bringing positivity back to a Gym like this. It seems like such a home for people who really care about climbing.
hello my avarage brother
Moral of the video don't always trust google blindly
Don’t trust reviews. They have confirmation bias.
I don’t know why people are acting like google invented the star rating. Yahoo and Yelp have the same problem.
@@OneDerscoreOneder Not sure confirmation bias has anything to do with this gym having bad reviews
@@diabl2master selection bias*
@@OneDerscoreOneder Right. I thought you might you might mean that. I often wonder about it. And I think the selection bias can go either way. Sometimes the review can look too high on a place which is mediocre because people don't bother putting a review if it was meh.
This gym is more of a community! I used to go to a small gym like this. It's like everyone are friends and they all welcome new comers. You can definitely feel their eagerness and hospitality. This made me remember my old climbing buddies in a tiny climbing gym.
It might be very intimidating for a newbie when they see a splash wall-type of wall but once they're dialed-in, everything clears up.
Amazing, and really respectful video again 💪💪
Wholesome content. How cool to have an experienced climber testing out a new route!
You've just saved that place from dying, due to others who have no idea what they're doing... Never judge a book by its cover.
perfectly sums it up,even if it got alot of fake reviews now,if the gym is approved good by magnus then it deserves it
little sidenote, i don't know about everyone else but i'd love to see the crowd's reaction in the shots too as you show up and pull off your crazy stuff.
Jay R yeah definitely me too!
It would be great to see but i doubt a lot of people would want to be in the video
@@jonathancorwin5133 They were all in the video at the end when they took the picture
@@ozapenguin no i get that, its fine if they allow it, but its just not a good idea to randomly start filming people, idk thats just me tho
@@jonathancorwin5133 I agree, some people are really touchy and I do not let anyone (including family) get any pictures or video of me. I will stream sometimes with Cam on but that is at my digression not some one else's. ♥
I've been watching your videos for awhile now and just realized after you said "a lot of you guys watching aren't subscribed" I looked down and realized I wasnt subscribed?! Well I am now🔥🤙 loved the video also, the level of talent I just witnessed is world class!
It's awesome that you gave this gym a chance and it turned out to be a diamond in the rough! Need to do more like this!
Marte: watched by 4 people at a gym I’m so nervous
While getting watched by 175,000 people on RUclips
Half those views were us 🥰😂
Yeah but not 175000 people in real life
Also when she's like "Oh I'm worried cause there's lots of really good climbers watching me" *comes to gym with ex world champion climber who was 3rd person ever to climb a 9c*
Hahaha. Like on a sex show I saw when getting free cable at hotel rooms when I worked out of town they were talking about how people watching porn would say "I could be a porn star". The porn star they were interviewing said "Oh Yeah? It's like having sex with your girlfriend but first invite all your friends and family so you have like 20 people sitting around watching you have sex. No you can't!" I bout died.
I traveled in Japan in March 2019 and this helpfulness and friendliness is universal. Japanese people put so much effort into excellence that it is humbling to be there as a visitor. Shows how much we can learn
I didn't experience it on my own but I heard multiple times that Jaoan is a very racist country. Just saying that nobody is perfect.
@@Toopa88 I'd advice basing your opinions of other people to be based on personal experience, unless you are not much different than the racists yourself
@@patriark its an historical fact that Japan in Asia has a recent past of invasions throughtout surrouding countries and a feeling of superiority among these. Dont know how it lasts nowadays, but as an european I dont think u can tell about this topic lol (at least by your personal expierences)
I live in Japan and have never had a racist incident. I have heard of one or two, but no matter where you go, you'll always find idiots if you look hard enough. In Japan, you'll have to look really hard, or behave like an idiot yourself.
Japanese will be extremely grateful for even the smallest adaptions on the side of visitors, so learn a few phrases (hello, thank you etc) of Japanese, look up a few of the culture pitfalls (don't stick chopsticks upright in rice bowls) and you'll have a wonderful time.
Most of all: visit and make up your own mind!
@@jbosko95 that is indeed true. Then again, so do the Chinese recently and, if you look closely enough, you will find dirt on the hands of most civilizations. Let's overcome that by visiting each other's countries more!
That grunt at 14:19 ^^
Motiverende å se på Magnus, ser frem til vår sommer i Oslo 2021 med trening ute. Kajakk og styrketrening. Ha en sterk dag.
