“So far the staff has been very nice. They let us in.” Good to see Magnus has high standards for his ratings🤣🤣🤣

Wow thats my home gym! Never thought I would get to watch you climb there! Also i met Anton and he was so nice and remember my name the next time I saw him. Truly A genuine dude.

'Going feet first and locking it in the crack' = 4.5🌟
I'm ingraining the cracks into you gradually Magnus 😉

About a year ago I started an incredibly stressful job in the public mental health field, and started a membership at my local climbing gym at the same time. I was instantly hooked by the mindful nature of climbing and it became my most important form of self care. I wanted to get better, so I took to YouTube for guidance and I found Magnus. This guy has inspired me and helped me with my climbing more than anyone and for that I’m so grateful! Thank you so much Magnus!!!

7:32 this "thank you" was the cutest thank you ever. I dont know him but i like this guy already :)

I would absolutely love to see a plain ol' video where you go through and climb all the hardest boulders in this gym. This place looks amazing!

Great episode. I have been climbing at Touchstone (and PG) Bay Area gyms for over 20 years and this is certainly up there as one of the best of the Bay. It should be noted though that this gym is in Oakland, not San Francisco.

[dsmeier]

It's in Oakland actually, but it's very close to SF.

[-_-_-_-_-_-_--]

While I totally get that no one outside the bay/your YouTube audience gets this distinction, just chiming in that Oakland gets credit for this one :). So cool to see a video featuring it!

[trashpanda]

For anyone wondering, a few of the boulders actually were from the youth competition series (9:04, 10:36, 12:32, 14:29). Anton was spot on!

I’m loving the two camera angles when you guys are close up in frame. Really gives the conversations a more playful/ dynamic feel. You are honestly a great filmmaker on top of your achievements in climbing

[gabrielallen]

Best vid on this channel in a while! Pure climbing, and you and Anton have such a great dynamic together.

Glad to see you make it to Pacific Pipe in Oakland, Magnus! This is my home gym where I meet with my climbing group. Among other amenities, this place has programmable lockers (so no need to bring your own locks), showers, and a dry sauna. I remember coming when it opened Summer 2021 and thinking it was so huge that it felt like a climbing theme park!

[simonearpaio]

Super nice video, this is my home gym and loved to see you guys climbing at Pacific Pipe!
A huge disappointment that OAKLAND is never mentioned as this gym is NOT in San Francisco but in fact in OAKLAND!!

[doreenang]

I like how cheerful Anton always sound. Bring a smile to my face.

[andrewbrown]

Wow, I climbed here all of last summer! I think the gym is definitely the best gym I’ve ever climbed at and the setting is really good. Also the gym isn’t in San Francisco it’s in Oakland lol.

[lelmdrWHO]

I don't even climb, but climbing videos are my favorite 😊Always lovely to see Anton as well! 💜

[frankthommessen]

Thank you Magnus for getting me into climbing and giving me a hobby to hang on to. The videos makes me hyped into climbing more and watching you collabing with Anton brings me a lot of joy!

[Puddyglum]

I loved this gym so much my wife and I took a day off and traveled here. I absolutely love it. She says she’d rather stay local and climb with friends. Of course she’s right. The best gym is the one with your local climbing community.

So maybe we have to move to Oakland 😂
