Wow! Is this a national geographic short movie?? Beautiful shots, an interesting, chill and empathetic interview, and great climbing... We can't ask you more magnus!! Keep it up! Cheers from Italy!
Man, what a great interview! Alexander is a legend and such a charismatic guy! One of your best videos ever, Magnus.
Fantastic Magnus, Great sportsmen, big social heart and also a good interviewer. You keep suprising me.
One of your best ever Magnus! You're a great interviewer.
Tom
Thanks Tom! Hope we can do something together at some point:)
It’s only a matter of time!

For me this was one of your best videos. I think you are a great interviewer and a great story teller! I liked the rawness of this video. The B-roll was awesome as always, very cinematic, but I also appreciated that you didn't make too many cuts during the interview. Photos and videos really added to the story. Thank you.
I don't agree with the liquid diet, but I respect the honestly and transparency.
Looking forward to the next one as always!
And the slightly somber music that you used for the climbing part especially after ending the interview on that note. Very subtle, but so respectful. What a solid dude you are!
Couldn't agree more, you could really feel when the emotions ran high as Alex began fiddling with the sand. It was like he was telling his story while simultaneously reliving it or picturing certain things in his head at the same time. It was almost heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time . Well done Magnus.
I know why you disagree with the liquid diet, you're already Slim.
regarding liquid diet: its not stupid if it works haha
I am a huge fan of alex. I watched all the movies and read a lot of his book .... but this was by far the best interview I ever saw from alex! great jop magnus :)
I agree, very very good! Interesting stuff coming up like huge freeing potential in Yosemite, and Wolfgang being the strongest by far. Change that camera dude, though ;)
Also fully agree with you!
My first comment ever on a blog because I could not stay silent in front of such humanity sharing moment. As a climber I see so much ego and arrogance usually. With your video you demonstrate opposite. Edlinger was my reference before, now both of you will be on my mind for what you are and what you demonstrate during your climb, elegance, calmness, simplicity. A big thank you, you made my day.
My second! Agreed 100%. This video made my day better.
I met Wolfgang Güllich during the 1982 international climbing gathering in France: They had just started their sport climbing association and invited 2-3 of the best climbers from each country to visit for a two-week trip to several of the (at the time) best climbing spots in France. The last weekend was in a limestone area south of Paris where the best french climbers had been rehearsing a new route which they thought one of them might redpoint with the TV cameras rolling.
The crux was a 4-5m horizontal overhang on nothing but blind one and two-finger pockets, Wolfgang simply did one-finger front lever moves and hung around long enough to feel his way to the next usable pocket, then repeated that process all the way out and into the vertical wall above where he finally fell just before he would have flashed the route. Easily the most impressive piece of climbing I have ever seen in person.
is there video of this?
what a gift to have been able to witness this.
oh...and there was me thinking this video was about alex huber...:)
Terje Mathisen: are you the assembler programming legend?
@@patrickareny2551 Yes, I guess so. :-)
I had just started my professional programming career in 1982.
Dust in the wind and playing with sand between our fingers... "but that's life". Simple, real, uncut and emotional "unofficial" interview, great talk!
Well said Alina !
Yeah, I felt that too. Felt like I was there with them.
Thanks so much for this awesome video! You legit make me want to climb every time I watch a video, so I'm going to do just that.
Weight loss liquid died: 1 yogurt and 3 beers a day lmao
We Bavarians know ;)
Wow, quality everything. When the music cuts and all you can hear is the desert wind as you near the top it felt like I was there . That was next level
Such an excellent talk you two had. It's nice to hear some of climbing's history from a man who lived it!
Excellent video as always.
Hey Magnus u are the reason I am climbing ❤️ love ur vids and ur editing in the last few vids have been next level much love my dude from Australia ❤️
Speechless. When legends speak and you can listen in. A true pleasure to see Alex climbing - his style is the definiton of elegance. I love you for this video Magnus!
Got to meet Mr. Huber per chance while hiking in Osttirol once.
Very inspiring and reflected person, it‘s still crazy to me what they did back in the days.
Alex Huber is for sure one of the most impressive climbers there is. Fantastic video as always! Its amazing to see how graceful and relaxed he is climbing although he must be in his 50s now.
Magnus I have enjoyed all your videos already after joining off of Jujimufu! I'm already ecstatic of the subtle changes you have made to your channel to improve! I'm stoked to see what you will bring to the table in the near future! Keep up the great job!
I have been following your channel Magus since nearly the beginning but missed this one. One of the best and so raw, passionate and emotional that interview. Please do some more like this as it was amazing. And the beauty of that climb in that location is next level.
damn, this is like a legit documentary
Lmao 18:51 that flake sounded hollow affff XD
Amazing set of videos set in Jordan! I've been here for 1.5 years now and it's cool to see others experience it as well. Also, while I understand the lack of comfort with the word jihad given how it is used by extremists, the word in Muslim tradition means the personal struggle that one has to go through to be the best Muslim they can be. I think the meaning of personal struggle fits quite well for a climbing route!
@magmidt Just a friendly reminder that you and Alexander talked about climbing together in Norway in this video 😁
As a climber and an alcoholic, Alexander's diet blew my mind ! Thank you !
This video is a real gem. Most underrated and underviewed video of yours I would say.
wait.. climbing as we know it with the training and stuff, originated in germany!? I had no idea
U.S. bouldering legend John Gill also brought a lot of gymnastics style training into climbing. Definitely worth looking him up
I've seen a lot of your videos Magnus, but this is still one of my favourite ones ever. It's beautiful, professional, raw and emotional. A work of art.
Thank you for this emotional video🙏👍😎
Zen !! thumbs up!! bring him to Norway again
More Climbing with Alexander Huber Please ! such a nice and iconic guy :D
Alex is such a great inspiration to me. I can't wait until January when he'll be giving a slideshow in my hometown
This is your best video Magnus. Love when you have strong climbers on the show especially icons like Alex.
Your quality of production is far above standard! I really enjoy watching your channel. Thank you very much! And this one is special as well, as the Huberbuam were Icons for me in my youth, as they live close to where I live! Keep it up ❤
this hasn't enough views 🤬🤬
You've been stepping up your game Magnus. Every video is better than the video before. Keep it up!
Thanks for the vlog! I have been ill with flu for the last 2/3 weeks and only getting better now... Haven't been climbing much because of that 😔
Hope to see Olav when you are back to Norway! And Cecilie!
I rarely comment on any videos ever. I had to make an exception cuz this was such a dope video. Amazing work Magnus! Your music choices were spot on and fit perfectly with the visual side as well as the interview part... well actually with every part. Definitely my fave channel to watch. Thank you.
Man, can't wait for next summer, when you two meet again! So stoked to see both of you guys get along so well. Keep it up Magnus!
Awesome content Magnus!! Alexander is such a sound guy and amazing climber, loved the video, keep up the good work man, you rock
How much combined climbing passion can 1 video have? I think this video is the anwser. Thank you .
PS: alexander liebe deine ruhige art erinnert mich immer an die berge.
I rarely comment, but this time I couldnt hold back. Fantastic work, great documentary and interesting personalities! I love everything about climbing, It has become a huge part of my life! Thanks Magnus and Alex!
As magnus says, climbing is still far from scientific and has so much potential to push the sport forward. It makes me want to see the future climber climb. very few (atleast at my gym) has some reasoning behind the training
Maybe i´m getting it wrong but i have never seen climbing like a competetive sport. Much likely lifestyle like a parkour for example. Of course you can compete whoever climbs higher or faster but thats not the thing about it.
I loved this episode. It was emotional, well shot, just all around great. Fantastic Magnus. Makes me want to train and climb outside right now!!
What a fantastic video! You feel how passionate Magnus and Alex are about climbing and that it means a lot to both during the interview. Watching that felt so chilling.
Wow klasse Magnus mit Alexander Huber super super
Fuckin awesome ! Nice to see that not only is Alex Huber a world class climber, but also a really cool and down to earth person .
Time and time again I'm just so amazed by the amazing quality your videos have. Not just the cinematography but also the stories and the climbing. None of the others even come close to your videos.
Wow. By far the best video from the trip. Love how you interact and touch on some deep and human subjects. You did a great job with getting Alex to open up.
Huber is a great guy and was really one of the strongest out there ! Cool you did the interview.
Loved your vlogs and especially today's style of shooting. Really cool getting a history lesson and having you interview such a legend. Really well done with the shots, its unreal.
Super nice episode!!! really really beautiful and meaningful. Thank you very much Magnus. Very inspiring. All the best from Bremen, Germany
Now that's what is called a quality video. Thank you Magnus
Awsome great work man. Probably the best vlog I've ever seen. Thank you so much. Great to see the Olds and the Youngs loving the same things.
And a super nice reminder to the basics and our all time hero Wolfgang.
Thanks ❤️
Thanks for the extended interview. As someone who just started climbing this year it is great to not only see amazing climbing but hear some first-hand history. Your best video yet!
When Wolfgang died, it cut the heart out of the climbing community world-wide. It's both heartbreaking and inspiring to see that he's still missed and remembered as much as he is.
Living legend. The Hubers and Lynn Hill are the kings and queen of the free climbing scene. They were doing it in the early 90’s, wow.
Magnus, this is hand down the BEST video that you've made. I really enjoyed your series of videos with Adam Ondra but this video just hits on another level. I've been to Wadi Rum in 2020 right before the world closed down so this feels really nostalgic as well. I haven't climbed there since I started climbing only 6 months ago. One day, I'm gonna return to Jordan and climb there as well.
Can't not leave a comment on a video like this. I really appreciated every single aspect of this.
Awesome filming, great and honest interview in a perfect setting!
WOWOWOW... this is like climbing with ZORRO! I wish I was there.
These climbers are aesthetic beasts
Ive seen all your vlogs. This was the best one by far! Alexander Huber is such a legend
Alexander seems like a very cool and calm guy
Beautiful and sad stories about people we love and wanting to do what makes us happy. I think this video sums up life... Beautiful
One of the best interviews I've ever seen with legend Alexander Huber. Very intimate what he said about Wolfgang Güllich. Thanks a lot.
Much respect for your video Magnus! Atmospheric, great choice of music and picture. Also I think your interview style is very empathetic.
This episode was truly amazing. The interview with Alexander was just amazing. Thanks for sharing it with us ;)
as a big Huber brother's fan since my childhood I really thank you for this lovely video.
Cool to see that Alex Huber uses a Gri gri for rope soloing just like an average every day climber. Does anyone know which model of Gri gri it is and does he have some of the metal removed to help the rope feed better on its own?
lOOKS TO BE AN ORIGINAL GRIGRI1. Not sure about the metal removal
Brilliant chat with such a legend and love the fact he still climbs with his dad
That was really beautiful. The interview, the filming, the music. Just wonderful.
This vlog is another level.... You have a real interview skill. Great video... Nicely put together! More like this please
Magnus, this is hands down the best video on your channel - interview, Alexander's charisma and the climbing, 10/10
and music of course
Wow great video Magnus, love the interview with Alex and the awesome climbing footage. Keep up the good work, your videos are very inspiring😎
I echo all of the top comments here and wanted too add what an effortless climber alex looks, just amazing.
Watching this interview was a real experience - especially for a climber like me who started sport climbing in 80s. Listening to the stories from Alex about the early days of sports climbing and stories about the German legends from the 80's like Wolfgang & Kurt really highlights the evolution of climbing. I think this is one of the best videos you've made Magnus - don't get me wrong the new stuff is great but this video had soul.
don’t worry about saying the word Jihad, it actually means something like journey, hence why it’s a name of the climb. they are 2types of jihad. one of these is the great jihad which is when muslims give a percentage of the monthly income to charity and those in need, all muslims MUST do this. the second jihad is called the lesser jihad where muslims travel to makkah to pray in a large group and do other activities that shows their faith. NEVER think that jihad has anything to do with people hurting other people
Truly breathtaking! And the interview was great as well! Everything is spot on on this video from music to editing! :)
Great great great interview, pure gold! Thanks for sharing :)
Love that old land cruiser @1:35 - I've got a 78 FJ40 myself, cant wait to finish up the transmission rebuild and get her back on the road! Great vlog as always. -
cheers
Awesome. I’ve gotta finish the bodywork on the fenders, do electrical, and then interior on my 71.
Still fucking love this video.
Never forget how fortunate you are. Always meet the thought with a greatful heart, a willing spirit, and of course, a huge smile in your very being. Thank you for sharing your life of choices! We reap what we sew. A life of proper choices lends itself to greatness. Thanks for the courage in your life that bares this out. Always, great job!!!! david
Why everyone that talks to magnus seem like they are in love with him you can see it in the way they talk and facial expressions
Whats the name of the song at 17:00? I liked it a lot
Alexander Huber absolute LEGEND!! So good to see his worldly attitude, humility, living the dream, gent. Utmost respect.
Thanks
beautiful homage to Gullich, Albert, and Huber all in one...so thank you! I bumped into Kurt Albert twice in my weekender travels in California, USA and he had also the same down-to-earth compassion as Alex showed. All good men and I only wish you had something of Huber's dad to see....
Nothing to add, nice climbing even better interview. Hey Midtbo, I wanted to ask you if you can make a training video for weaklings, where zou also add if it is necessary to train when one gimps around at 6c+(Bouldering). Please make it for weaklings! (Just to be sure, not that you compare yourself to us mortals training wise). Thank you!
@Magnus Midtbø plz make the video happen if possible Alexander Huber in Norway
Can't believe how good this is. Well done Magnus
Wow!. The interview was amazing. It was so emotional.
Honnold is such a professional. Damn. Inspiring video. Thank you for that.
Quality video once again!
Is that protection at 19:40 actually a piece of rope attached directly to the hanger? How do you trust something like that :o
one of your better vlogs Magnus. the interview with Alexander was great. really makes you tink less of climbing as a sport, and mor the pure beauty of it.
Amazing video man! Love that combo of listening to a legend and awesome climbing footage! Probably time to make that Norway climbing trip happen for the both of you!
4k subs left!!! I know you can do this Magnus Midtbø! Yesterday you had 994k, now u have 996k. I think you will reach the Milestone in 1 day or 2 days at maximum. Extremely good video though!
A very uplifting video (pardon the pun) What a beautiful climb, in wonderful calm company, left me feeling very warm. I'm wondering did you get him to Norway the following summer... Will have to jerp watching I guess
Who are we to argue about whether Alex’s diet could have been bad for his strength?LOL! I think his accomplishments speak for themselves. I saw him & his brother many years ago doing a presentation, I think it was about speed climbing El Cap, Dolomites and an expedition in Antarctica. It was so cool & both guys super fun & likable.
MAGNUS THIS IS AMAZING!! Omg that shot where you broke the 4th wall and talked during the climb! Magical! The camera angles, so smart. The chill nature was so clean and flowing. I really really enjoyed this video. Thank you for what you do! Love from Georgia USA
Thank you for that video Magnus. Great interview with Alex Huber - very honest!
Wonderful video, thanks for sharing these moments with a legend. It's great to have a future legend interviewing a current one.
best episode! great work! by the way I would have been happy to see a bit more about the alexander solo setup, interesting, he cut the grigri handle
