Mad respect to the rocks to be able to hold eddie

There's something pleasant about this channel, no gimmicks, no forced wacky outtakes, no jarring editing, just an extremely talented individual teaching others about his passion. Its great.

I love how there is NO ego by both, but especially by someone (Eddie) who is considered to be the strongest man in the world ( or one of them, not to insult others) and being comfortable enough to show on camera his limitations and weaknesses. This is actually inspiring.

I love how passionate Eddie is about learning new movements and you can see that he is an professional athlete with great body control. Crazy to see such a heavy guy climb so good on the first day!

The guy who got me into powerlifting and the guy who got me into climbing and my two favourite things no way 😭

It looks awkward, but the amount of commitment required to put 170kg on a toe smear with clown shoes is impressive. Mad props to Eddie.

Eddie is such a class act. He always goes for it regardless of how unnatural it is for him. This is an awesome colab for sure.

Eddie killed it. I remember the first time I went climbing, I was struggling worse than him and I was easily 100kg less. I'm very happy your channel is becoming more popular, can't wait to see what new guests you bring on!

I am STUNNED Eddie is as good a climber as he is. So encouraging to watch a crowned world strongest man have doubt, then prove himself wrong repeatedly.

Mad respect to Eddie for being a real athlete and doing this kind of stuff. That is A BIG GUY to be climbing. He did way better than I thought he would and he wasn't wimping out

I don't think people realise how fit this man is as well as strong, to shift that weight takes some stamina!! Well done Eddie mate didn't expect you to do half as good as you did 😂😂

1:28 "that's gonna be me.. in an hour's time" **guy falls** 😂😂

What I love the most about this collab is how easy Magnus makes everything seem and how Eddie looks like he's constantly about to make the whole wall fall with him

There's something really funny about Magnus telling Eddy "You're stronger than you think" at 6:26 🤣

I absolutely love the archetype of the "gentle giant", and to see the sweetest person ever also being the strongest man on earth is just so wholesome Great content! Thank you very much

I love the way he coached Eddie through the climbs he’s extremely good at expressing the importance without putting pressure on

Magnus is so good at bringing on non-climbers from different disciplines and introducing them to the sport. It's honestly impressive and seems like a good way to grow the sport.

HE’S actually really good for a first timer - the guy just excels at anything he does. Respect.

This is a collab I never expected and I LOVE it!! I know Eddie is extremely strong, but this insane! Never expected him to be this good at climbing. He really deserves the "worlds strongest man" title. Mad respect for both of you!

Eddie is such a funny guy. He keeps things really light hearted and really tries. It's really interesting seeing how happy he is at trying something new.

That someone as big as Eddie was able to climb half as well as he did is amazing to me. He really deserves his World's Strongest Man title, I think. And as others have said, Eddie's tenacity and attitude are commendable, as well. Thank you for doing this, both of you.

"This guy used to carry rocks for a living but will he be able to climb them?" That last introduction punchline was top-notch! Very good job!

Every time Eddie advances, he's pulling 170kg, its so impressive to see him attempt this, and he does so well!

Its beyond me how Eddie can do this with that weight, he is SOOO strong!

I AM shocked by how good he is for his size and muscle mass. This is incredible and an amazing video

Eddie and Magnus make such a fun duo, they were both so chill and light hearted, and it was cool seeing Eddie attempt stuff he thought might be outside his abilities and didn’t worry about looking good. It was really impressive how much we WAS able to do and watching Magnus coach him through it was really cool.

Eddie is a lot of fun to watch! It's clear he's excited to try and to learn and takes it all with humour. After the first attempt at the orange climb (about 9 minutes in) you can see when he looks at the wall his eyes are just glowing 🤘

Very heartwarming, just two legends sharing a good time, no ego involved

As someone who started rock climbing like 3 weeks back, I was absolutely blown away by Eddie. Mad lad. This is so much harder than it looks especially the 30 seconds hold at the end. Also their sense of humour is on point!

This is so amazing to watch, and you can see just how STRONG Eddie is! He's a HUGE guy, and the fact that he's been able to make such progress on the walls shows not only how strong he is, but also that he's a profressional athlete with an attitude that doesn't let him give up!

Thank you a ton for having captions on this video! It shows when a creator cares about accessibility.

What a great crossover. Eddie is so fun in any video he’s in and Magnus is such a kind soul

Never in my life did I think I'd see Eddie Hall bouldering.

Seeing a guy that big climbing is insane. Mad props to Eddie

He's got to be my favourite personality that you've had on your channel. What a fun dude to be around! Loved the vid

Just have to comment and say how much I've enjoyed this channel, and especially this video. Two really cool guys with no ego shown making a fun video. Thanks Mag!

I love how patient and calm Magnus is with explaining everything to Eddie, an amazing coach to a beginner like Ed.

What a genuinely nice guy. I think what impressed me more than Eddie's sheer strength was his willingness to attempt something he knew would be a real challenge for him, and to keep going and learning and always trying to improve. No wonder he was the World's Strongest Man with such a great mindset. Whilst I will never be a strongman or a rock climber, seeing things like this does inspire me to work to be a better version of myself and be happy with my personal growth, however small it might be, rather than comparing myself against others.

After my life started to go downhill I moved in with my dad and he showed me “The Wondrous World of Rock Climbing” it was a real escape and taught me that failure is ok as long as you keep getting up. I found out after a while that he also watched Magnus and it was a real way for he and I to bond since he hadn’t been in my life until then. I ended up leaving because he fell back into his egotistical ways. But I miss climbing with him and climbing in general. I can’t do it anymore because I don’t have the money or shoes or chalk. And memberships ain’t cheap. I just thought I’d let ya know how much you impacted my life, Magnus. I wish I could keep climbing but watching these helps.

That was really impressive stuff Eddie. I was on the edge of my seat for that first blue attempt, starting low at the floor.

Eddy is super impressive for his first time at his size! He's obviously strong, but he picks up technique fast and his perseverance is off the charts!

Man, this has to be my favourite episode ever. They have such good chemistry. You can sense that Magnus is a bit on his guard around a big star like Eddie, but they seem to have hit it right off. And Eddie is such a good sport to Magnus' encouragement and very subtle teasing. Despite being simply intimidating physically, he's likeable to the degree of being cute. In a bigmouthed, bighearted, french bulldog kind of way. Remember, a bulldog that still could involuntarily crush you without noticing it. I was actually scared Magnus might get pancaked by Eddie simply rolling over at 17:35, forgetting he has invited a giant to the gym. Also I'm surprised that Eddie knows virtually nothing about climbing and has never tried it before. And even more surprised how well he does given that and his weight. You can tell he is absolutely up for any challenge. What a great match. So, now for the rest of the video.

thats so incredibly impressive seeing such a big man on the wall like that, honestly didnt think you would do this good

just two genuine humans having a great time hanging out and working on their skills

if eddie was hydrated he could’ve on-sighted silence

You can immediately tell that Eddie is just a born natural and professional athlete. He manages to do well even in a sport that should be anathesis to him.

This is the most fun I’ve had watching a YT video in a long time. Well done.

Something I really appreciate is the way that Eddie is impressed with Magnus. I like it because I’m a climber myself and my friends always like banter with me about it being easy. So then I took on of them and he’s a very built person who’s in the gym almost 24/7 and he got humbled real quick. It’s just nice to see climbers getting recognition!!!!

Eddie is a phenomenal athlete. A man his weight and size making some of these climbs is just amazing. Much respect.

Magnus, I want to Thank You for this video. You are the second person to give me the confidence to learn climbing by having someone like Eddie on your channel. I've been losing weight and he's about 45 kg or 100 pounds more than I am. And Thank You as well Eddie. You are definitely a beast!

This is honestly such a great display of just how differently built two top athletes can be, simply because of their respective focus.

Nice one Eddie! Love both your channels. Fun to see a top athlete in a different sport.

Genuinely impressed Eddie managed to do some of these moves (I even doubted he'd get that sit-start) but he actually showed quite a good natural, intuitive climbing ability. Good stuff.

Haven't even finished watching yet, but I'm having so much fun watching Eddie doubt, swear, try anyway, and succeed. Life lessons from elite athletes of all shapes and sizes. Good one, Magnus!

This is so badass! Eddie really was a great guest for the channel

The fact that he almost got his feet back on the wall at 14 minutes is incredible. Suprisingly good at climbing even though he is such a large man

I love that as Eddie points to the guy climbing and says "in about an hour that's going to be me" the guy falls off the wall. Talk about timing!!!!😂😂😂

I can't believe you got Eddie on! You are the GOAT of rock climbing Magnus. Two of the best together 🔥 Eddie was too dehydrated for that last one 😞

I really enjoyed the banter in this one, Eddie seems like a super swell dude. He did amazing for a first time too, but then again he had a hell of a coach.

I love how some explicitives are beeped out but some are left in all their glory.

What an awesome guy Eddie is! Humble, friendly and open to learn. He did WAY better than I was expecting! Great video Magnus.

Great video. love to see top athletes out of their comfort zone trying new sports together. Eddie killed it! And Magnus was a great guide.

HOLY SHIT! That blue from the ground, he pulled himself up no problem. What a legend

I think Eddie teaches us alot about strong men. To lift yourself (170kg) up a wall without much or any experience is really inspiring.

That was really great. A fellow Brit with colourful language and humour really up for the challenge! Great coaching. This is so far away from “let’s see what a big bloke can’t climb” I previously imagined. All this videos have been so incredibly positive and inclusive. You inspire us to be better people not just better climbers Magnus

This was the wholesome 28mins I needed this evening, thanks.

i'm really impressed, didn't expect him to perform as well as he did.

I couldn't imagine walking into a climbing centre and seeing these two legends. I would just follow them around watching like a stray dog or something.

Eddie is actually a really good climber considering it was his first time, jeez!!! Intuitive movement and kept his arms straight 👌🏼

I met Eddie at Target last Winter!!! Such a nice, humble guy.

Bro, this guy is no joke, for a first timer being that heavy, he's doing amazing

170 kg... it's absolutely nuts to be hoisting himself up beyond ground level but here he is doing better than most beginner climbers! Really awesome

He calls himself a beast and he's not exaggerating. His 500kg deadlift is something out of the chart, maybe out of this world 💪🏆💪

Eddie is so likeable. That was a very fun one, Magnus. You're pulling off all the great collabs!

I absolutely love the banter between these two

Just started climbing a few weeks ago, I'm almost as heavy as eddie but nowhere near being the world's strongest so for now I'm stuck at V0, still, after strength training for a year it's great to be able to climb a wall (despite not being able to even hold myself up for more than 3 seconds!). Thanks for inspiring me, and I hope other folks in my condition give bouldering a try as it really is rewarding!

19:50 green done, orange done, blue done... (dramatic pause, nods with the head "got something to say about it, mate?! good!") purple now!

So impressed how good he did being that big and first time! He's used to pushing himself. Realized I need a climbing coach at the gym!

I love how natural Magnus is with all the different guests he has on. This was a great collaboration. Magnus is a real one.

This is the unexpected collab I really wanted to happen ... without knowing it myself! And I'm impressed with the climbing abilities of Eddy!

This is very inspiring. As a heavier climber, it is encouraging to see someone that’s not tall and/or skinny topping these climbs

Eddie puts such a great face on the lifting scene. Hands down my favouite athlete of all time. Loads of empathy, modest, no shame and my sense of humor. Gets a good laugh at getting made fun of and can shoot em back too. Thanks for having him!

Honestly he’s very impressive, climbing like this with this weight and morphology is crazy good !

Never in a 100 years would I have expected to witness Eddie "The Beast" Hall do a TKU! Bell up no less! Absolute gem of a video! The way Eddie seems to have relaxed a bit is palpable. He listens, he learns, he focuses. It's really cool to see 2 icons of their respective fields come together, learn from each other and grace us with such brilliant entertainment. Thank you, gentlemen!

Eddie was so entertaining and it's easy to warm to him. his strength when he lost his feet and was hanging was exceptional, unsurprisingly.

Eddie is undoubtedly one of the most impressive people ever born.

ive been climbing for 4 years and im still having a little bit of a problem with crimps I've been practicing on my slopers and seeing you do it motivates me to go to the rock climbing gym

wow....honestly? Mad respect to that man. He climbed VERY well. And for a man of his size he climbed excellent! I've been at it a decade and we've all seen the newbies... this man moves incredibly well. Loved this!

The way he's able to brute force those walls and almost skip the tecnique is really impressive

Eddie is so likable it's mental. Smiled ear to ear through this this entire video :)

Props to Eddie for his humility, fortitude and being so nice about the trainspotting guy, who as Eddie says is a sweet guy. 👍

I love how dedicated Eddie is with everything he tries. There’s many times where I thought he’d just drop but he kept going.

Eddie did so much better than i was expecting!!

Im thoroughly impressed by Eddie for such a big man, He progressed with the climbing levels really well, Good Job 👍

It's really fun to watch you elite guys doing this, and so funny guys, great video!

Big props to Eddie. Really gave it his all and was honestly so impressive for a first climb

Eddie proving why they call him The Beast. He really gives everything 110% effort.

Why does magnus feel like the embodiment of the climbing community he is so nice and supportive to anyone and wants people to try climbing not to prove to them that he is better.

Huge video!! Loved every moment.

This is an awesome collaboration I definitely wasn’t expecting, love both these guys!
