For people watching and wanting or thinking of doing the same, please do your research on tree physiology, signs and symptoms to look for in weakened, damaged or diseased trees or specific limbs on a tree. It is not about blind trust that the tree will not break, there are characteristic attributes which factor in. Tree species and time of year for example. I've worked in trees for a few years now and have climbed close to a thousand trees, I've had branches fail on me that I would never have even guessed due to internal wood inclusion that I have not spotted, In rope and harness luckily for me. However in beech trees (fagus) I will trust even standing on a 1&1/2 inch diameter branch (standing on the branch bark collar, ie - close to the main trunk) they're great trees for free climbing. I love Tarzan and Magnus but i feel Tarzan fails to properly articulate the dangers to look for in trees. Please be careful so you can keep creating content and living a long prosperous life :) -From a British Arborist
I must add. No critique to Tarzen, he's obviously a very competent and capable person, I just feel the risk management shouldn't just be "don't think about it" to a wider audience. It evidently works for him thus far.
Magnus: "You have nice elephant skins." French Tarzan: "Yes but you do not need this elephant." Magnus: "Ya." French Tarzan: "Ya." Magnus: "Ya." French Tarzan: "Ya." Magnus: "Ya." French Tarzan: "Now climb tree."
The jump part was what most separates him from a rock climber: the confidence, mental focus, space awareness and rough foot skin needed for the task at that height with no safety gear is truly elite
Leo is obviously very talented and Maverick. But this collaboration is awesome: to see someone with Magnus's level struggle and bravely confront height and danger, see his skills challenged by fear and unusual environment is so inspiring.
Climbing that big tree 12:50 was super cool, the strong bark made Magnus feel more in his element and it felt like a new wall climbing discipline had been discovered!
Nice to know even top level climbers find it exhausting to climb thick branchless trees. Glad that Leo got to show off a few of the other methods of tree climbing compared to the first video.
I understand why you trusted this guy to do this with, he's super technical with what he does. Great video and good job Magnus. This daredevil streak is a nice series of videos!
Very good! I used to suck at pull-ups. Nowadays I train by doing 1 full motion pull up every minute for as long as I can. You can even add in 2 push ups to the minute to make it more active
You made me remember back when I had trouble doing a single pull-up. Today I can do several muscle-ups. You won't progress every day or week but when you do progress it feels great and pull-ups is a really nice exercise to do because you can progress both by becoming stronger and by losing fat.
What man can do and what he can’t do… needs to be reevaluated. I had never even dreamed that was possible. My walks in the forest will never be the same again. Respect guys. Thanks for opening my eyes to a new world and respecting my on body more and all the capabilities that lie within it. Just amazing.
What? The excact opposite of raw talent, raw talent would be a noob who never climbed. Magnus was a high level climber for years. Use your brain or you lose it
lots of respect to you Magnus for genuinely trying something that breaks all the rules of rock climbing I have always wondered why traditional rock climbing never overlapped with tree climbing too. now i understand
Nah, that jump across the branches near the end was one of the most terrifying things I've ever seen someone do, this guy is almost Honnold levels of wired differently. Amazing display of Magnus' confidence in his climbing skill too to do this stuff without prior direct experience.
Doing parkour and free soloing are very similar disciplines mentally. As someone who's been doing parkour for 14 years, I always say that Alex Honnold is a legitimate traceur and no one can convince me otherwise! XD
I suggest you watch Leo’s last video then, where he climbs a 60m tree in the Sumatra Jungle while bleeding from the feet after being eaten by leeches. He even meets a wild orang-outan family. He is crazy and incredible.
You did amazing Magnus! Leo's jump at the end is something else. It's one of those things you wouldn't be afraid of if it was 5 ft off the ground, but up there it's absolutely wild.
Amazing videos Magnus, didn’t expect something like this, that’s so cool. You’re challenging yourself and also introducing us to new climbing related disciplines and people, I hope you continue on this path!
Having spent a fair amount of time in Indonesia and the Philippines - lots of local guys are awesome, effortless tree-climbers even in their older years, often carrying various tools depending on the purpose, or just climbing smooth bamboo structures of buildings balancing to repair the roof or wiring, without appearing to give it a second thought. So impressed with the sheer skill and nimbleness. I particularly remember an old gardener who climbed what looked to me like a 20-odd metre palm tree, swaying in the breeze, with no safety gear and carrying a big machete in one hand, to chop off dead leaves at the top and remove coconuts for safety. The safety of others it felt like, but he knew what he was doing I guess …
Different levels of respect between the two. Rocks are obviously much different to trees when climbing. At least with rocks, they are way more sturdy than bark or branches. But, watching and listening to Leo, he's on a whole different level than Magnus. It's nice to see two professionals learning from each other, seeing where things do relate, and technique is king regardless of the similarities. I can't wait for more content of these two together.
Watching Leo climb through trees felt a bit like looking into our distant history. What an amazing guy. Good on Magnus for trying out so much, its so interesting to see the differences in climbing styl and technique required. That jump at the end though 😮
I know you'll probably never read this, but of all the "out of your comfort zone climb" you've done, ice climbing seemed the most promising. I think you have serious potential in that discipline. Much love, and have a great life Magnus
this is way cooler than rock climbing. I always imagine living in the wild and connecting with ancestors from a million years ago. But this guy is connecting with chimpanzee cousins and ancestors from like 8 million years ago.
I swear there was this older friend I had in my childhood who would climb the trees just like this guy did or even better,like I would watch him climb a 20 meters high tree in less than a minute just to bring a football ball back,he was slender and small,but his tree climbing skills were crazy
definitely one of the most interesting climbers! i like how he takes inspiration from the professionals (our cousins the apes) and shows how effective their methods are in certain terrain; even teaching masters like magnus some tricks...
6:27 - This is the technique used by men in the tropics to climb coconut palms to pull off coconuts at the top. These palms readily sway in the wind, which is an important consideration when climbing them since they don’t remain still and unmoving.
Thank you for all the great content, I just started climbing last week and I am loving it. I probably wouldn't have tried it if it wasn't for your videos.
Wow, 2 in a row with Leo, lucky us ! Would be great to make travel content with both of you in the jungle. Great video ! I even watched the entire ad, just cause it's my fav video hahaha
Watching some world chase tag clips of Leo really shows how much better he is than most because of the training he does in nature, he just flows around like a leaf in the wind, going through the obstacles, it's crazy to watch.
This video feels scarier than the free solo one. Though its not at the same scale, the video with alex felt more controlled, planned and safe. Both climbs still made my hands sweat buckets though lol
I watched a guy in thailand climbing trees like this picking coconuts as easy as if he was climbing a ladder. It was unreal. The trees were massive too, 60-70 feet easily.
I've never seen a human move like that, running across the branches, but it looks so natural. Reminds you that we are a species of great ape, even if we're the most terrestrial of the bunch I have always wondered why tree-climbing, without equipment and for grown-ups, isn't a sport. It has so much potential and probably more connection to our past than rock climbing. I have to say it does look terrifying, but it's cool to see someone pursue it seriously and show what can be done

Fijians climb coconut trees all the time and hang out in the tops. If you didn’t know, coconut trees do t have branches. Climbing this big tree was pretty impressive though.
Keep continue to feat together, great to see how good you are on the tree in a so short time, big respect. I hope we see you again with him in jungle !!
You've had a lot of very interesting people in your videos. For me personally, Leo has been the most interesting one because what he does is both so different and yet also so similar to your usual content.
He made it look so effortless… if not for Magnus tryiing it I wouldn't remember how wet a tree is especially in the morning when it's in the mountains right after the fog of dawn.
Magnus, just curious... would you do this on your own for fun now that you've tried it? And incredible mad props for your skill to be able to do what you did on Day 1. Happy Holidays to your and your family! :)
This guy's luck is gonna run out and a branch will snap. He grabs them on the long end, uses dead ones, etc. I get he knows what he's doing, but it only takes one mistake once and that's a wrap...
You hear a lot of people romanticising living in the wild, jumping from tree to tree and such, but this looks painful, miserable, and annoying. Frankly i'm glad we evolved to a point where we're now sitting in chairs fermenting in front of screens for our life's entirety.

This was amazing to watch. I wonder what its roots are (sorry for the pun)..? On the island of Fiji, and everywhere you find coconuts and / or banana trees, people have had to learn how to climb them. It would be instructive to study their techniques. And, just imagine what sort of preparation, strength training regimes, we could devise for this. On the downside, injuries from falling are known to be serious and often lifelong...
@@halfbakedc00kie he means this is basic for Leo because he has done some really really crazy stuff ..like climbing sky scrapers and doing monkey vaults on 80 feet high trees or swinging like the real tarzan from tree ropes..etc
"Of course is dangerous, you are 50m high, but it is secure". Oh man I couldn't stop laughing. Magnus is a beast for keeping a straight face after that.
This dude is next level as a climber -- he operates by feel and instinct, he's all flow and getting into the spirit of the monkey. And he has the parkour skills to go with it. Really phenomenal. He makes Magnus look stiff and mechanical.

I wana see this guy climbing with Magnus at a climbing gym. Wonder what grade he would be able to climb.
Prolly V5-6
Im pretty sure its coming. Would be stupid of Magnus to not take him to the gym and make a video with him.
He would climb a V3 (V Tree).
Ba Dum Tsss....
My guess would be 7a/7a+
U guys crazy, leon has climbed crazyyyyyy sht, like buildings n dat, pretty sure he not so far from magnus

Leo is breathtaking! You can literally feel "the Spirit" in him!
I can't explain it, but something about this - especially the last part. Makes me happy.
I hope this becomes a series!! Such a cool form of climbing. Feels very connected to our evolution
He climbs slightly better than people and far worse than monkeys.
Fun cosplay though
Wish Leo had a channel in English
Fijians climb coconut trees all the time and hang out in the tops. If you didn’t know, coconut trees do t have branches. Climbing this big tree was pretty impressive though.
Man I am clapping at my screen when Magnus hit that branch on the big tree. Well done brother. Sheesh.
This man is actually insane. No fear. ❤ I need to see him in a climbing gym now!
Keep continue to feat together, great to see how good you are on the tree in a so short time, big respect. I hope we see you again with him in jungle !!
You've had a lot of very interesting people in your videos. For me personally, Leo has been the most interesting one because what he does is both so different and yet also so similar to your usual content.
Anton: 👀🔥😮💨☝️👏🏼😌
He made it look so effortless… if not for Magnus tryiing it I wouldn't remember how wet a tree is especially in the morning when it's in the mountains right after the fog of dawn.
Magnus, just curious... would you do this on your own for fun now that you've tried it?
And incredible mad props for your skill to be able to do what you did on Day 1.
Happy Holidays to your and your family! :)
I love that u did a collaboration together because u are my 2 favourite climbers, I do climbing and started to climb tree also
Magnus is smart to not do everything that Leo did. It's just a matter of time before someone falls from a broken branch.
There is a reason we upgraded to stairs.
@@IIISentorIII Those tree branches looked thin & diseased. They would only be good for kindling, not for climbing.
@@targeted1948And yet they held up just fine... Guess they were strong enough after all😉
Best collab you’ve had to date!
If I saw two guys climbing a tree like this I would turn tail and run
I would fall and hurt myself where I stood
wow I would love to see this guy in another videos his spiritual vibe is something else
Leo, Magnus and Alex Honold climbing trees inn Ecuador. Please make my life complete.
18:49 that was absolutely insane, I've always dreamed to do something like that😮 🌿🍃
This guy's luck is gonna run out and a branch will snap. He grabs them on the long end, uses dead ones, etc. I get he knows what he's doing, but it only takes one mistake once and that's a wrap...
So what rock climbers break off rocks all the time and can be fatal. What’s your point?
I think it's funny how you look more scared here than at your free solo! :D
You hear a lot of people romanticising living in the wild, jumping from tree to tree and such, but this looks painful, miserable, and annoying. Frankly i'm glad we evolved to a point where we're now sitting in chairs fermenting in front of screens for our life's entirety.
Your comment made me laugh and also got me confused about how the RUclips comment section algorithm works. Your comment at the time of me writing this has 3 likes on it. There are other comments here that have 1k to 3.7K likes, but your comment is displayed above them all. I also found your comment to be more interesting than the others… does RUclips show you comments based off of comments you’ve liked or interacted with in the past?
@@Ezerlance Did some googling, but didn't get a clear answer.
Not exactly sure, but if i had to guess i'd say those factors are probably relevant, yes.
Thanks for the kind words :)
This was amazing to watch. I wonder what its roots are (sorry for the pun)..? On the island of Fiji, and everywhere you find coconuts and / or banana trees, people have had to learn how to climb them. It would be instructive to study their techniques. And, just imagine what sort of preparation, strength training regimes, we could devise for this. On the downside, injuries from falling are known to be serious and often lifelong...
I dont think Magnus knows who he is climbing with...
'Dont do anything crazy man' lol he is worried
?
wdym
@@halfbakedc00kie he means this is basic for Leo because he has done some really really crazy stuff ..like climbing sky scrapers and doing monkey vaults on 80 feet high trees or swinging like the real tarzan from tree ropes..etc
Parkour stuff basically. Jumping around at height is a new skill to him
The was a legendary collaboration. Hats off to the video production and the editing along with the awesome climbing.
Respect for not getting ego-driven and not doing the jumping thing when you didn't feel comfortable with it.
Imagine the amount of splinters this guy has.
"Of course is dangerous, you are 50m high, but it is secure". Oh man I couldn't stop laughing. Magnus is a beast for keeping a straight face after that.
This dude is next level as a climber -- he operates by feel and instinct, he's all flow and getting into the spirit of the monkey. And he has the parkour skills to go with it. Really phenomenal. He makes Magnus look stiff and mechanical.
