I was there and can honestly say, what a legend of a guy. From on and off camera. Gave his time to everyone when asked despite being in a comp mindset. You done well considering your recent step back from the comp scene. It was a pleasure to meet you. You inspire us all 👏🏻
@@balaenopteramusculus same here! Reminded me of those times you go down to the wall on your own and end up having an utterly great time hanging out and trying new stuff with whoever happens to be there.
Didn't expect to see Louis on this channel! Two of my favorite climbing youtubers trying some HARD boulders. Props to the finalists and winners of the comp for making them look easy.
Better get the nose to the grindstone, cuz magnus is out here literally passing military boot camps and legit training courses. Slacker! Just kidding, keep it up
i'm 40 this year and just hit almost exactly one year of climbing about twice a week. I have plateaued hard but i'm loving it despite needing to take a month off here and there with finger injuries. So glad i found this sport and to anyone similar aged reading don't think its too late to start.
I'm 41. I tried a bit of climbing 15 years ago and loved it but i never carried regrettably. There is a small boulder wall near me and I want to start going
Keep doing the competitions! It is so inspiring to see you doing what you love. At 47 I've been going back to things I thought I couldn't do anymore and finding not only that I can still do it, but that I'm having more fun than I did when I was younger.
The Figure 4 that Louis did at 25:40 was so awesome. Magnus and Louis are both explosive and powerful but in such different ways it was so fun to watch them climb together. A dream collab!!!!
21:13 This is such great energy love watching you guys climbing togeether. somehow Its almost better watching you guys with no pressure of having to do the final just lark around on the boulders
This was so fun! Still so impressive, Magnus! Also, the vibe between you and Louis was awesome - especially when you were having a play on the finals boulders without the pressure of competing.
Seeing Louis and Magnus in the same video is a long time coming. They’ve both been my online mentors in beginning climbing so it seems like two dads I’ve always had meeting eachother for the first time
Please post more of these comp videos, they're always super interesting. When I used to climb a lot i only went to comps very rarely, but i feel like i can learn a lot from these videos for my current sports.
Amazing video, I would love to see more of this type of competitive stuff. Of course it would be great to see you in the finals, but honestly I think the less stressful POV of "hey I am here for fun, no stress whoops almost made it to the finals" works really well.
12:41 watching louis' breakdown of this boulder a couple months ago in his own video teaching someone else, versus you just flashing it in the comp is absolute madness
I think the silica based new chalk product can be hazardous to lung function (silicosis) if the dust is inhaled. You should probably abstain from using it, at least indoors. You endanger yourself and others.
Magnus I absolutely love all of your videos and watch religiously, but this video is the best one yet. Absolutely love the energy the competing scene brought out of you, and the vibes with Louis. Gotta get him in more videos!
I was hopping for Magnus to make it through the finales until the very end, but it looks like the youth is crazy good. The climbing level of the international athletes is so high nowadays, competing against young GB national team members is such a challenge. Hope to see other competition videos, the stake and the tension make it fun to watch
I believe its easy content, its more entertaining than just climbing without anything in stakes. So basically i love your comp videos and even more outside videos with or without climbing are usually top
It's good seeing you in the zone and really having a proper go at comp climbing. You were out of it for a while but I can see you're into it- Keep at it!
Getting 8th on this is crazy good. If you went back to real competition training, and trained more slab, you could definitely do really well in "real" competition! I get that that's not where your goals are anymore and you're focussing on youtube now, but it's just really cool to see what a 'retired' athlete can still do!
Awesome video Magnus! I really enjoyed the competition style video and thought the position counter in the corner was a nice touch. Would love to see more of these competition videos in the future!
Great unintentional(?) collab! Really good to have 2 crazy good climbers and see where they differ. Please add a slightly “worse” climber once, because then the difficulty of the routes really becomes visible. Awesome stuff
Definitely loved watching the comps. Not only was I glued to the suspense of wanting you to win, I got to see so many different boulders with different styles and solutions. Also, it was amazing to see my 2 favorite climbing channel youtubers together.
@@Bogdanisar he makes the money form youtube. and i bet it is way more than he ever made in his career climbing. if somebody racks up enough views with his sunday league team, is he a football pro then? im sure you get the idea.
I love your videos so much! It’s really nice to watch you climb in a comp once in a while, just competing and giving 100% of yourself on a climb. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the extreme videos of you doing crazy stuff all over the world, but it’s still great to see you just climb. A dream of mine is to randomly see you in a comp or something someday.
Best climbing video in a while, great collaboration with Louis, really interesting to see two pro climbers with different styles try the same problems and learn from each other!
Absolutely more comp stuff. This was a lot of fun to watch. And really interesting to see where you sit as a climber. Someone who doesn't even train for competition doing as well as you do is really interesting to watch.
It’s crazy how Louis looks more and more like a younger version of Magnus with glasses. You’re both doing a terrific job and please do more comp. always your best videos. Thank you for the great content
A new magnus vid!! Bro I’ve seen a couple vids over the years but these last three days I’ve been devouring your content. You’re a great inspiration for sportsmen and ambassador for your sport. I’m going to the Aubervilliers gym to try bouldering for the first time this weekend thanks to you! ❤
I love your smooth hang-to-the-wall moves -- so relaxed and clean. 8:30 also looks like a very cool problem. Also, damn...28:58 just launching up there. Definitely do more competition stuff -- especially this style of format where you can compete and get in the zone but still appreciate the community of the event.
I caught this video just as I was about to start cooking at home to later have lunch. Great timing. I love when we get videos like this from Magnus. I gave a like to the video as soon as Louis showed up 😂 This one was a banger, and it always excites me to see you and other people trying hard, working to succeed while you enjoy yourself.
The moment Magnus announced that he was training to compete again made me anticipate this video for the longest time and I can say it did not disappoint. You should compete more 100%
Quite a few comps work like this but there’s not really any incentive to lie because you’ll look stupid in the finals, it will be quite obvious to the hundreds watching.
This is very inspiring, even if you don't make it to finals it's really cool to see those who do make it. They have a talent, not everyone can have. Something they worked hard to achieve. I look forward to the next comp you do.
I compete at our local wall. Im 60. I won it (in the legends category) 2 years ago. I had a hip replacement last year and now im trying to win it again. He, and probably you, have got years of climbing ahead of you.
Magnus trying to disguise himself as Magnus in a comp, but I can clearly see it's Emil.
Emil is getting better on his magnus accent
Legion etrangères "Universal Soldier".
😂😂
It's quite obviously Magnus impersonating Emil impersonating Magnus
You win the internet today, good sir.
honestly loved the vibe of louis, not sure if its meant to be a collab but it was so fun watching them jive together
Louis is so lovable!
Louis is one of those guys you just wanna be around
Yeah I watched this and was like "was he just kind of there?"
For sure he was ! Just hangin, competing @EnderSword
He came 7th so no way was this planned. They both almost made the final.
I was there and can honestly say, what a legend of a guy. From on and off camera. Gave his time to everyone when asked despite being in a comp mindset. You done well considering your recent step back from the comp scene. It was a pleasure to meet you. You inspire us all 👏🏻
Was that you at 21:10?

Magnus is always himself.
Enjoy your channel too Ren
Recent step back from the comp scene? Magnus quit competing in 2017!
Louis and Magnus finnally together!! A collab between you too would be so great to see. Great video and great effort!
Huge second on this! The collab I've been waiting for. Magnus and Louis doing anything together (but throw some climbing in too)
True! But really dig this more spontaneous meet up as well
so happy to see them both
@@balaenopteramusculus same here! Reminded me of those times you go down to the wall on your own and end up having an utterly great time hanging out and trying new stuff with whoever happens to be there.
Agreed! We beed a collab
Magnus took “you can compete” to heart

Tomoa's prophecy 😊
Yup 😌
"he can still compete"
these were the words of the patron saint of dynos
Still don't get why the organizers limited finals to TOP 6 instead of Top 10.......out of 500 people
22:41 „if only one of us could do a one arm muscle-up“😂
louis is always so positive i love that guy
He is likeable indeed
It feels kinda forced
@PanBuchticka people can force themselves to be kind, well mannered etc.
@@PanBuchticka i think thats just his character
@PanBuchticka maybe from coaching but that only makes me like him more
The interaction between Magnus and Louis was so refreshing. And yes, please more competition stuff👍.
Absolutely LOVE these competition videos. You really see how dialed in Magnus gets. His tone changes, and a little bit of that competitive fire shows.
Didn't expect to see Louis on this channel! Two of my favorite climbing youtubers trying some HARD boulders. Props to the finalists and winners of the comp for making them look easy.
great to meet you magnus. you probably don't remember, but i was the ginger guy with a scar on my cheek who did some slabs with you.
how did you get the scar?

I don't even have to look at the title of the video. Magnus's personality alone is enough to make any of his videos fun to watch
I loved seeing magnus and louis, they were like two brothers on their first day of school going together everywhere
This video has it all, comp + Louis! What more could you want in a climbing video
Louis has such a warm personality, that was great to watch. He compliments your more serious nature very well
Louie and Magnus in one video! My 2 favorite climbers! Can't ask for much more.
I would love to see more with you and Louis! Thats the first time I've seen him and you two had such good vibes and excitement for each other! 10/10

The comp stuff is so entertaining, as long as it doesn't get you stressed, we want more!
Stoked to see Louis - one of my favorite climbing youtubers.
Not seen him before this. Now subbed to his channel.
Magnus is a wholesome, humble dude proven over and over again. Lotsa respect for you, man!!

Been watching Magnus for years and always feel like there is nothing he can't do, but put him in a competition and I get suuuuuuuper anxious.

Does this comp operate on an honor system? Seems pretty easy to just lie about what you flashed
Quite a few comps work like this but there’s not really any incentive to lie because you’ll look stupid in the finals, it will be quite obvious to the hundreds watching.
There are loads of people who could say "no you fell on X boulder" so you would probably not get away with it
You and Louis really are a great duo. Loved the vibes with you guys. So natural and wholesome.
