Wow! Couldn't stop smiling with Ben Moon, Jerry Moffatt and Adam Ondra in the same show. You did great, Magnus!

[moonclimbingofficial]

Thanks to everyone involved. Jerry and I had a fantastic few days hosting and climbing with Magnus and Adam and it was great showing them around our old training haunts. The highpoint had to be seeing them on my Minus 10 classic the Megatron Turbo. Whoever would have thought! Nice one guys.

Ben saying he's useless crushes my heart. He was and still is a legend no matter what! Don't be too hard on yourself man. This is a truly amazing video and I loved every second of it. Thank you guys for making this collab happen ❤️

[jacobparasite]

The vibe with Jerry heckling (encouragingly!) and Ben just being like an accommodating host is honestly amazing - I could have watched 2hrs of this - would love to see more

[morenobellini]

I love how humble Magnus is, despite being one of the best climbers in the world. Seeing him flash a boulder problem that Adam couldn't flash makes you understand how good Magnus actually is. Awesome video!

[nicholasdreger]

I think Magnus has fooled us into thinking lately he’s a YouTuber who used to climb but this video reminded us he’s a climber who also does YouTube. So strong. I’m curious Magnus, how often do you train/climb still in between all the videos?

[sorryforthat]

i love how adam just sprints to climb the boulder at 23:07, you can see how much fun he is having

[noone-ldpt]

I mean we all know that Magnus is strong, but the fact that he can still flash boulders that Adam fails to flash is just insane. Adam is the pretty much undisputed nr 1 of our generation and Magnus can still hang with him!

[althejazzman]

Seeing Jerry feed beta to Adam, and then Adam encouraging Ben surely is the most wholesome example of how friendly and encouraging all climbers are, regardless of age and experience.

This is an amazing segment! The old footage of Ben and Jerry is from the "The Real Thing", a revolutionary video that completely flipped the script of what a climbing film looked and sounded like. It was the first climbing film that showed us the personalities of the climbers and gave a glimpse into their lifestyles . That coupled with a techno/house club music soundtrack made it look and sound like nothing that had been available before. It was not just another "RAD" action film, it was relatable to a new generation of climbers and set the tone for many films that followed.

[yessir]

video was awesome but I couldn't help but crack up at 2:43 when Adam is going in on his warmup while the legend is explaining his story 😂

[snowe..]

I laughed so hard when Jerry said to Ben to downgrade Adam's route to a 6c. The chemistry between all of them was amazing.

I'd like to now who came up with this idea. What a fantastic video! Brilliant Magnus. This is going to be one that I watched multiple times. Those guys are priceless. You can still see the intensity and competitive spirit in their eyes. So happy you brought Adam with you on this one because they immediately recognized he was worthy of the "title". I haven't seen you so focused Magnus. I just loved this video. Maybe the best one ever.

[starlitshadows]

I could easily watch a full hour or more of this. The vibe in this room alone. Learning some of the history and seeing you guys all climb together was incredible to watch. I found your channel about a month ago and I've watched a bunch of your videos. This is one of your best. A series like this with legendary climbers past and present at legendary spots would be amazing. Also, you got me back bouldering for the first time in 10 years this week and brought my little bro with me and he loved it. Appreciate it man, definitely one of my favorite channels on Youtube now.

[rosaschreiber]

This is clearly one of your best videos ever. I always loved the way you interact with others but really think that you came to a new high over the last videos. You always strive to let the others look good and are always very respectful to them even in the undercover climbing ones you always let the instructors look
good. Love it all. And you are still a hell of a climber.

A bit emotional watching this one. Last video I watched was your other Sheffield video and at the time I mentioned we were close by as my mum was in hospital in Yorkshire. Unfortunately she passed away on the 10th of February. She was really proud of my daughter who has just turned 7 and started climbing. She has been climbing a few months now and we usually watch your videos and Adam's videos together. We went climbing tonight in the northeast of the UK and she spent a lot of time talking about her Nanna. It's been a really emotional month but climbing helps her focus and talking helps her process the emotions. Watching videos together during mums illness was a big help for us both and gave us a lot of support. If you come back to the UK it would be brilliant if she could meet you both. I sent a message on Insta but appreciate you will get thousands. Thanks for another amazing video and this was probably one of my favourites to date. It felt very authentic and real. All fantastic guys and all inspirational. Thanks again

Not 100% sure everyone will get his video, might not go viral, however, for someone like me, who started climbing in the early 90's, and still does now, this is GOLD. Had so much fun grinning and catching the psyche!

[davehughes]

This video really captured one of my favourite things about climbing, the super supportive competition. Everyone is cheering for the climber, and also really trying to push themselves as hard as possible.

[mikewallace]

This is honestly one of the coolest climbing videos I've ever seen, great job magnus and whoever set this up

[Astilath]

Best climbing video I've seen in ages!
This is the platinum standard for "all star cast".

The casual tone and the filming is brilliant.

I got so absorbed about halfway in, I fell into the mindset of being at the crag with mates.
Then Jerry: "you want some tips Adam? Just pull really hard..." 😂 classic.
