absolutely legendary colab

Ah yes. Ben and Jerry’s. Great collab.

feel the same way, my face hurts from the smiling!

Idk why every best person of something starts has a name starting with Magnus like Magnus carlsen and now this dude

Having John Bachar and Alex honnold would have been better. They are real climbers.

Thanks to you as well!

turn from your sinful ways before it’s to late Jesus loves you and so do I God bless “for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you or forsake you” (Deuteronomy 31:6).✝️❤️😊

Me too!

same here!

Haha yeah! But Jerry is also the one who cheers the loudest!

I loved how he bantered Adam constantly in between climbs but then he was super hyped during his climbs

me too..but I hope that's just his expression and has no deep meaning in it

eh I'd guess thats just stereotypical British understatement, like the counter balance to Jerry being boisterous!

timestamp?

Was a bit hard to see. The dude is well into his 50s.

I don't think you understand what a legend is

Totally!

Legend with legends!🤩

actually i see him do that most of the time in these vids so far. looks like a habit haha. and i bet hes excited for sure too..

This was the funniest part, I was in stitches. Had to rewind just to watch it again. Something about a grown man getting so excited to do something - like a child with a new toy. We all love climbing

@@nfivejaygee yea and he does it like 1 second after magnus goes away. just couldnt hold back. love it

Yeah, there's some advantages that Magnus has over Adam.

That problem kinda suited a smaller climber. You could see the first moves were awkward for Adam, but yeah take nothing away from Magnus he's still a freak.

not to be "that guy" but magnus is not one of the best climbers in the world. he himself would readily admit that, i'm fairly certain. don't get me wrong. he's stronger than i could ever dream of being, and he's definitely in the top 99th percentile.... but when you are talking about millions (over ~25 million according to some estimates?) of climbers worldwide, being in the top 99th percentile, or even 99.9th percentile, doesn't make you one of the best. i mean just think about how many olympic climbers alone there are. and then you factor in how some of the strongest climbers to have ever lived aren't even competing these days... jimmy webb, daniel woods, nalle, shawn, etc... edit: LMAO i seem to have really upset all the salty gymbros who think they know everything because they watched a few youtube videos and started bouldering 3 months ago and just climbed their first v3. it's ok you guys can keep telling me why i'm wrong. i know you are wrong. and you know what's hilarious? i bet even magnus knows you are all wrong. and it wouldn't be out of a false sense of humility, it's because i'm sure even magnus himself knows just how good people are these days. there are people NONE OF YOU HAVE EVEN HEARD OF who are stronger climbers than magnus. and if you disagree with me, perhaps you should just take a minute and educate yourself on the world of climbing. it's a lot bigger than magnus' youtube channel.

He's a monster on pinches but he doesn't really project hard climbs. I would love to see him on the grand illusion I feel like he would crush it.

old school boulders, they are more raw power and less technic. Adam was thinking to much

Your comment reads a bit like you consider Magnus so much older, that he is from another generation than Adam. They are just 4 years apart, if you didn’t know.

They have different twitch muscles

@@tomriddle2257 not really, theyre saying more like its impressive that magnus, a retired climber that doesn't do proper training anymore can still hang with the world number one who trains like crazy. It is incredibly impressive

@@lawsong6663 Yea I wasn’t sure. Definitely a possible interpretation.

@@tomriddle2257 I don't know why you'd think I was talking about age but I guess I can clarify if it was confusing. I meant that Magnus retired from competition climbing 6 years ago, and hasn't really been focusing on hard climbing since then. Sure he does a lot of general climbing content, but he doesn't really push himself by projecting really hard routes/boulders. Simultaneously he also does a lot of other wierd fitness stuff that should be to the detriment of his climbing ability. On the other hand, Adam has climbed more than 20 V15 or harder boulders and has topped more 9b+ routes then any other climber in history, three of them in the last few years and the last one just a few months ago. So he is obviously at the absolute peak of human climbing ability. Given all that, the fact that Magnus can still climb at a comparable level and even outperform Adam on some problems is astounding. Hope that clears it up.

@@JonaasK A moonboard benchmark 6c is more like 7a+/b

Love the part at 14:40 when they all go down in unison because they wanted Adam to succeed. I say them but I did the same thing in front of my screen :D

Not all climbers are like this unfortunately. The more mainstream it got, the more shitheads became climbers....

Climbing is you vs the problem...

I have a Mount Rushmore of climbing UKpostsrs, and I always exclaim with celebratory profanities whenever I see even just the thumbnail for a new vid.

When are you visiting Sheff Emil? Come and try some Grit classics and when it rains (not if it rains) head to the School room and see if you can flash Stuey 5 bellies! (or Milk It,!)

He's said in other videos he climbs every single day

As of September 2023 - it seems he's re-entering the world of proper competition.

The more I learn about the history of climbing, the more similarities to skateboarding there are. Amazing.

​@@AirborneLRRP True that! Skateboarding saved my life when I was young, climbing shaped the direction of my adult life. I feel very fortunate to have had so much of both in my life.

@@AirborneLRRP it looked a lot like the skateboard films of the era. The miniDV cameras and wide angle shots.

Do ben and jerry make ice cream now

HHAHAh i was going to comment the exact same thing

Omgg lmao this is so goofy

what actually happens there, is that Adam is warming up his fascia with dynamic movements. few new studies has shown that, it can be super benefitial for performance.

Makes sense timing wise as they were talking about the importance of training

@@botondgavaller817 Dude, we know. But could he have waited 2 minutes to do his warm up until they were done talking LOL.

Same here! It was nice seeing some of the heroes of our generation still up and kicking, showing that we still got this!

I started climbing in 2009 but I watched all those 90s/00s movies like "Hart Grit" and I enjoyed this video a lot as well.

I just started in November, but I love those videos, too. The best climbers of the world all seem so humble and chill

You started in the 90s and find normal not mentioning Gullich? Really?

@@riccardofabris1260 didn’t mention anyone. Just said I enjoyed the UKposts video. Had a poster of Gullich if that makes you rage a little less?

John Bacchar and Alex Honnold* brought it to a new level

​@@tdb4763 in a climb where you can't risk falling there's really no sport at all. it's mad impressive in its own right, but in terms of technique or power or difficulty of climb free solo climbers are absolutely dwarfed. they don't care, though, because they climb for themselves. to lump them in with top sport climbers is disrespectful both to them and to the sport climbers

@@jaimeparker2161 Easy to say from the comfort of your own home. In reality, you don't even have the balls to free solo at your own local gym.

When his foot slipped I was like "KOM IGJEN MAGNUS, DETTE KLARER DU!!!"

The caption here was incorrect. The problem is "Stuey Five Bellies" named after the climber Stuart Cameron.

@@BranwellHaworth Thank you for mentioning it, that is very interesting :) I will edit my comment to correct it as well.

Fuck yeah!*

Magnus mental game is still up there with the best of them

Sorry to hear that but I’m glad you and yours are finding comfort in these videos and climbing in general. Sending love from Texas 🫂

If there was an award for most influential climber, it'd be Magnus. Many people have started climbing here in Norway just because of Magnus, I can only imagine how it is globally.

@@OriginalPuro right? he said social may be blocking climbers who arent great with it, but i think he has easily countered it with the crazy amount of people he got to start climbing

@@OriginalPuro That's awesome to hear. I'll be visiting Norway from the US in a few weeks and though I'll be spending most of my time staying with my friend in Tromso I'll be checking out his gym in Oslo and I can't wait to see it.

​@that guy damn that's pretty crazy. It's cool he has such reach.

When he said endurance was still going up even though his strength is now declining, that gives me hope!

Me telling the mates to "just go up" :D

That's beside more money the main reason climbers nowadays become stronger than ever before. I know some guys that took climbing courses but climbed only V on the UIAA scale. When I started climbing I became decent fast because I went climbing with people who are way better at climbing than I am. With pros it's the same you can't improve if there are no people around your level or stronger around you. That's the reason there are training centers for the best in most sports and countries.
