The title of this year’s Olympics: “Pro climber tries speed climbing”

[Cpt_Darling]

Can we all take a moment to appreciate the irony of Magnus selling shirts?

[truebeerus]

I am positive if he does 1 collab with a speed climber and practices for a week he at least gets to 8-9s

[Stoneman]

Magnus: the moves in this gym are really big
Also Magnus: I’m just gonna jump straight to the top hold

[elias]

Love how he recommends the t-shirt, then 5 sec later "it's that time" *and gone is the t-shirt*

[AntonFomenko]

Does new shorts have secret chalk pocket?😅

In your vids, you're almost always the strongest climber in the room by a lot. It'd be kinda cool to see you do a collab in a gym with hard grades with a young pro. As an old guy who climbs kind of hard, I'm always interested to see how I stack up against the young boys; it'd be cool to see you in the same situation.

Magnus: "You can't get pumped in 8 seconds!"
Me: "Hold my beer!"

my 15 year old brother qualified for U.S speed climbing nationals after only a few weeks of training. his time was a little under 7 seconds, and i'm pretty proud of him for that.

Always a pleasure climbing with you!

Magnus puts on new, fresh, clean clothes. 10 seconds later: covered in chalk. haha

[tomasznazarewicz]

Just so you know, you went under 12s in our hearts :D

[MiguelClimbs]

Also commenting for the algorithm. But also commenting to tell Magnus that we missed the climbing content!

[marceld]

Magnus: let's warm up. we don't know what the colors mean.

[geheimerhund]

I always wanted you to speed climbing, thanks magnus

[petgri]

I think Magnus can get really good at this just by training it a bit

[jamescanjuggle]

For someone who's studying anatomy I have to say your backs fascinating to watch as you climb 😂

[mania.v]

I absolutely agree that speed climbing is about training the same route over and over until you don't think about the moves anymore. It is a muscle memory thing.. The pros look like they are floating/dancing upwards and it's so cool to watch!
I've been looking forward to you guys giving it a try and after watching the video I have to say you did well! 😊

I love how Magnus's hair gradually gets more chaotic throughout the video

[horusp.]

So happy to see you back to climbing videos! Some variety is nice as well but I feel like I can learn so much about climbing from you.
