    Honestly Magnus, I don't watch you to watch the hard boulders or the easy ones, I watch you because you're damn good content, and a great guy. Your attitude and just general take on everything you do is always so awesome, and I'm fairly sure I'm not the only one here that thinks that! Make videos about what you want to do, I'm pretty sure most people will still enjoy it!

    As an athlete who developed a chronic disease, listening to my body has been the hardest lesson.

Good to hear you gave yourself a break when your body needed it

      Can you point to any toxic stuff you may have been exposed to that could explain your disease? If you're an athlete, I assume you made sure your food and water was good. Did you take any pharmaceuticals? Antibiotics, shots, etc.? Other than that, are you exposed to high levels of radiation, like a apartment building with tons of wireless connections, smart meters, cell towers, etc.?

I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette.

    "You guess we don't watch you because you're not the best?" That's heart wrenching man.
    I don't watch your videos to see what the best climbers are capable of, I don't climb so I wouldn't even recognise that. I watch your videos because you're an interesting and very charismatic person. You're down to earth, you go out of your comfort-zone, you're authentically yourself. Those are traits I'm working on myself and that makes you worth admiring. Life isn't always about performing your best, it's also about how we perform during our worse. Keep doing you and ill keep following.

      I think the majority of climbers/his audience are probably so far off from magnuses abilities that they cant even comprehend how difficult some of the routes he does are, or the finer points of the technique that make it possible. So watching someone whose the best at climbing isn't what we are here for. Its hard to relate to the best climbers in the world, if you go to alex honnold or adam ondras youtube channels they have less subscribers.

Inspiration is about relating to someone, seeing magnus really struggle with whether or not he is performing well enough to share to people might be the most relatable thing to any athlete, artist or musician out there. I hope he shares more of his struggles and "failures" (as he may see it). To me this was much more profound than just solving hard boulders, share your journey, not just the treasures you attained along the way.

    We watch you because you give good descriptions on how to tackle a wall and the difficulties that you had while attempting it. It helps us to analyze our own climbing endeavors in a good way. You also have a pleasant demeanor when doing something that you love and whatever wall or climb you were passionate about for the week. Keep doing what you're passionate about and we'll be happy you've decided to share it with us.

    Magnus! I loved this video so much. Not only it is more relatable to me as a beginner climber, but also the way you share your ethos and concerens make me feel like as if I was listening to a friend. Please keep making videos like this! Thank you!

    We love you, Magnus. Do WHATEVER you feel comfortable with. We will love the content. Not cause you're the best or not. Cause you're you. Your audience fell in love with YOU. Not your skill.
    We will support you no matter what.
    I appreciate your hard work producing content for us.

    Watching someone return to a something after a break, make mistakes, be vulnerable and eventually succeed is super inspiring. Especially when it’s something that they love. The beauty of it is that this applies to all types of skills, not just climbing. Thanks Magnus.

    watching you climb gets me so hyped for my next session, regardless of what you're working on. you inspire me to try problems i wouldn't have pushed myself to do in the past, and i've definitely improved at reading routes and applying different techniques just from watching how you tackle different problems. i've been in a rut for a couple of months, but your warmth, determination, and effort in everything you do really motivates me to do my best, even when things are hard. thanks Magnus :)

    Knowing your condition when coming back is really essential. It can be really hard to swallow the pride that you have developed after practising so many hours and see it getting ruined when you cant do something you could do easily. Know thats its a part of the process and you will be fine

    Honestly bro we are for you and you’re content. I love any type of boulders or content you make wether it’s easy or hard boulders. You’re content is amazing and really fun to watch. Love watching you boulder and seeing your thought processes and thinking to myself what the hell how did he make that look easy. Love you man and you’re content!

  • @skidude9800
    @skidude9800 11 месяцев назад +25

    As a non-climber, I still have followed you for years. Sure, watching you solve the hard problems is fun, but just watching you be great at what you do is why I stick around. And your positive attitude regardless of challenges is contagious.

  • @rumzification
    @rumzification 11 месяцев назад +8

    I honestly just get a lot of joy out of watching someone send a problem they liked and found interesting, no matter the grade. Also I'm new both to climbing and your videos and have watched quite a lot of your content for inspiration over the past few weeks! It's been a fun ride watching your adventuring and editing style improve and evolve into its own unique identity over timeline of your video releases =)

  • @MsOperaPrincess
    @MsOperaPrincess 11 месяцев назад

    I watch because you motivate me to get out there and do better! You give great tips for beginners and advanced alike and I genuinely enjoy following what you're up to! I personally am more of an outdoor climbing gal and I would prefer those but I will still watch whatever you're putting out! Thanks for getting me excited about climbing several years ago and keep it up 😊

    @jasminejarvie9817 11 месяцев назад

    This has been an amazing video! Having a current break from any exercise due to a chronic illness I get it completely. We have to listen to our bodies and when we get back to it we're not our full strength. Sharing this raw journey with us is humbling. Thankyou Magnus 😊

  • @dizzy525
    @dizzy525 11 месяцев назад +29

    I didn't climb for 3 weeks cuz of exhaustion and nerve pain, climbed again yesterday, went from v5-v6 to v3-v4. Felt like I lost all the progress I made in 5 months in as little as 2 weeks, but hey, I see I'm not the only one in that situation!

      @walterlotte4215 11 месяцев назад

      Taking regular deloading weeks is the best thing you can do to give your climbing longevity. Just train other climbing related stuff during those, like core workouts, streching etc.

  • @gandatier4168
    @gandatier4168 11 месяцев назад +13

    Honestly I haven't been watching as much of your recent videos. Now I understand why you took the break, but I enjoy watching these older style videos. No matter the grade that's climbed I feel like I'm getting better at climbing just watching. Keep up the good work!

    Magnus you may not be the best but there is no doubt you are a truly elite athlete no matter how you cut it. We watch you because you are so talented not only in your passion of climbing but also in your passion of creating. You are one of the most humble people I have ever followed. You’re a true inspiration Magnus I do hope you cut yourself a break once in a while. You deserve it my friend.

  • @sorah1
    @sorah1 11 месяцев назад

    I love this! Coming back to the gym after a break is can be so difficult and discouraging, It's nice to see that one of the best climbers out there goes through the same struggles. Keep your chin high, we both know that with a little time and consistency you'll be back to your usual self :)

  • @cesarfeys169
    @cesarfeys169 11 месяцев назад +1

    This video really makes me love climbing even more… im sitting at home, watching this video and all i want to do is climb… i normally don’t have this feeling that extreme when watching your video’s but maybe it is because this more realistic view of climbing and the real effort behind it that it takes makes climbing suddenly way more accessible… I really enjoyed this video magnus!

  • @chantsmantrasandrelaxation5079
    @chantsmantrasandrelaxation5079 11 месяцев назад +17

    It's how you explain, how you test yourself, how you make us viewers feel a part of your world, even if for 10-20 minutes. A grade isn't important, they're variable anyway. You are consistent in your style and personality. You are able to laugh at yourself. These make you very watchable. We admire your athleticism, the effort, the work you do put in, but we watch for your personal style and the way you invite us in. For that I thank you and continue to watch.

  • @Nightwishmaster
    @Nightwishmaster 11 месяцев назад +93

    This video makes me feel a lot better about myself! A few months ago I traveled from the US to Norway to visit a friend and during my day I spent in Oslo I spent like 6 hours at this gym waiting for my hostel check in time (my flight got in quite early in the morning, the staff thought it was funny I was in the gym 90 minutes after arriving in the country lol) and I had a really good time hanging out with your staff and climbing all over everything (I forget his name but shout out to the Canadian guy that works there, he was awesome and really helped me learn a lot about Oslo and helped guide me to my hostel later!) and I know exactly which wall this is, it's on the top floor on the other side of the room from the Kilter board. I had a really hard time with all but one of the boulders I tried on this wall which frustrated me as normally I quite enjoy slabs! Makes me feel way better to hear even Magnus finds this section hard too haha. I love when you film here because it always brings back good memories from that amazing trip!

    Love watching you no matter how easy or hard the problems. I am nearly 50 with a back injury that left me unable to work and have just started bouldering with my 17 year old daughter who climbs at a level around 5+. Watching your technique has helped me greatly and after a few months I am climbing at a level of 3ish. Thank you for all your help and inspiration.

  • @itszaque5031
    @itszaque5031 11 месяцев назад +8

    I’ve missed 3 straight weeks of training due to a stomach flu, a busy work week and now just getting over a cold. This video couldn’t be better timed for me!
    And as for what climbing I like to watch from you? All of it! Yes I’m subbed to Stefano and Adam and Will and Shaun and I love seeing the hard stuff, but I also love seeing the variety that I get with your channel. Even when you aren’t climbing I still enjoy watching you, you have great camera presence and really fun “youtube-ish” video themes that most other climbing channels don’t have.

  • @clin2017
    @clin2017 11 месяцев назад +28

    It’s true, of course it’s awesome to see you crushing hard boulders like it’s nothing, but for intermediate climbers like me I feel like I learn so much from watching seasoned climbers do boulders that are more accessible to me. It’s even enjoyable to watch climbers struggle, because you gain insight into the thinking process and can cheer them on like your bouldering buddies! The proof is in the pudding! - there are so many more female viewers when Marte is climbing cause we can relate!

  • @NanduSamy
    @NanduSamy 11 месяцев назад

    Glad to see more climbing content. I hope the pressure of an audience and being an amazing climber doesn’t take away the joy of climbing. I think the reason people watch you isn’t because they think you’re the best climber but because you are among best AND make unique entertaining content. Other climbers don’t

  • @scoobtoober2975
    @scoobtoober2975 11 месяцев назад

    It is correct, we love to see the challenge and relatable too. I think the more important thing is to hear the problem solving and then the execution. That is very good. Like the 360 move, to talk through it. To hear you had a problem with it, then the steps to get past the hold up. Keep it up

  • @donutella38
    @donutella38 11 месяцев назад +11

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I watch your channel because of you. I am not a climber so I tend to prefer the "collab" style vids where you are teaching others to climb, or learning a new skill yourself. Having said that the pure climbing vids are still great as well. Its your honest approach to everything that really sells these vids. You come across as totally genuine. So keep up the good work and if its just you climbing a set of stairs then rest assured I will still be watching :)

  • @jeffreyjames7101

    @nikolajskarbye3786 11 месяцев назад +1

    Hey! You are awesome and a huge inspiration - i think alot of people watch you because of YOU. Your attitude, energy - the relatability and your down-to-earthness - and then combined with a sprinkle of awesomeness and strength. Keep just being yourself - you can do V1 bouldering video and beginners would love that - and i am sure that more advanced climbers would also enjoy - and you can always challenge yourself to see how difficult you can make that problem !

    Ouch! 🙂
    I climbed there earlier this week, the Slab of the Week was one of the easiest I've seen, but I still fell on the final move (I'm fairly short, so the reach over left me out of balance).
    It is very humbling to see you do it no hands!
    Keep posting content like this Magnus, we all appreciate the effort you put into making these videos for us!

    I legit started climbing because of you , I had an injury on my right hand ring finger and I can’t move it and I’m having it removed soon but I got into calming because of you, also you always made it about climbing not about what’s the hardest thing to climb but it’s about the passion and love you have for the sport and you don’t just don’t one style or one thing you keep it nicely spread 💯 keep doing what you doing as you inspire me 💯🫶🏻

    @thanokal90 11 месяцев назад +1

    Great to see the pure climbing videos again! This remains the real reason for watching your chanel for so many years. Very interesting to hear you had a minor injury, while you always said you had very few to none injuries in your climbing career. Would be very interesting to hear how you coped with being injured (even minor), what it did to you as a climber and what you did to recover (apart from rest. Never see you using any tape or something like that. Thanks for the great content!

  • @JohnSmith-ru7nj
    @JohnSmith-ru7nj 11 месяцев назад +3

    Magnus, you’re amazing and one of the reasons I like watching your videos isn’t just that you’re a great climber, even when you’re not feeling your best, it’s how calm, open, and adventurous you let yourself be, not being afraid to talk about being uncomfortable. I like to think that I speak for many people who watch your channel when I say that I love when you make climbing videos because it’s fun to watch you enjoy yourself while you climb!!! All love to you and climb on!

    @christopherm6725 11 месяцев назад +5

    Yea, being relatable and authentic is the key. It really doesn’t matter if you are the best in the world. We love to see your passion and creativity shine through in these videos. I had chronic fatigue and depression after a bad bout with covid. Took me a year and a half to get out of it. Your videos were the catalyst to me getting in the climbing gym and starting to make real progress in my health. Always great to know what your boundaries and to listen to your body. Thanks for all you do Magnus!
