I know Magnus says that lead climbing is boring to watch. But, I beg to differ. I have really bad knees, and I don't boulder. So when Magnus does lead, it gives more motivation to go try more difficult routes! Love these videos

Magnus on 8a+ " I'm now just really pumped so I have no chance "
Also Magnus " To end things off tho, am gonna try to campus this whole 7a"

I've started climbing a few months ago and Magnus had a big influence in that. But what amazes me is how EASY he makes it looks. Because of how strong and technical he is, it makes the hardest route seems like it's intermediate. Its crazy.

My highest grade ever was 5.11c and I worked for it. To see you campus a 5.11d is both inspirational and soul crushing at the same time.

i cant wait to see magnus and marte do some outdoor climbing as well. Though, magnus does look really strong indoors and seems a little more comfortable too. Get that 7A Marte!!!

2022 is going to be good with more Magnus gym content like this! Looking strong man! 💪

[ilanvega]

Magnus just casually defies gravity, great work with this video! A nice change to see you back on sport routes.

You look so happy when you lead climb :) That campus route was insane! Interesting filming angles, including the split screen ;)

13:07 so funny seeing him run up the stairs

[alpinejonny]

Nice to have some straight up ropes climbing again, and of course Marte is the real star of this channel, lets be honest

[bradoliver]

I can't believe the great condition you're still in. I know you work hard and all that, but for a "retired climber", you're still crushing at a top tier level.

Great video of impressive climbs! 💪 I also enjoyed the off commentary a lot where you explained parts of the route and the multi angle shots. Looks very professional and makes it a joy to watch.
Oh, and good luck for the 7a, Marte! Great to see you improve so much and not be (too much) discouraged by Magnus.

I just wanted to say THANKS YOU for everything you did so far in the climbing scene. You are the reason why I started my own French Climbing youtube and it literally changed my life. I am really grateful and wish you the best for the future!

[SuperMortiki]

I have major shoulder problems and I've already had two surgeries and going in for a third so when I see you do this and you're getting up there in age and you've never had a major injury I consistently cross my fingers and very happy for you.

[Bella-vjzz]

YES! Loving this lead climbing content... It would be super cool to get more videos with tactics for lead climbing (e.g., rests) & follow along with your endurance training. Impressed / inspired that Marte is projecting 7a already.

[josiahkey]

I really like the two camera angles to help us judge the angle of the wall! Sometimes I can't tell if you are upside down or climbing straight up.

[Kazmodan]

Super impressive on the first climb. Getting me excited for my climbing session tonight!

[kristenb]

Let’s goooo Marte! I’m working on getting there this year too. Does she feel nervous falling on lead? I feel like that’s a major factor for me in my lead grades. Hopefully we’ll both make it happen this year 💪

[tornadoswe]

Massive campus. That last reach looked impossible but you got so close.
Looking forward to martes 7a.

I pretty much always find the lead climbing way more visually spectacular than bouldering, but the campusing all the way through the roof in those wide shots that show the scale of the wall is such an insane image that it's breathtaking.
