This was a great listen.

This actually looks like a boulder problem now... Idk why that touches me but it's a sick quote

My son tells me I have the strength but not the confidence. I have a problem with fear of falling and not committing enough. I'll be working on it as soon as I get back after the minor knee surgery. There's a real element of needing mind over matter, at least in my case.

Alex could get a job escorting people to the grim reaper , “no no , don’t worry , it will be fine , he’s super chill”.

Love your podcast. She's got nice teeth too!

Warm up. Nothing new. I advocate multiple pulling positions as well. Commom sense

I can attest from experience the opening statement he makes in this video is complete BS. Because the best summer I had on real rock was after a 6 week sesh of nothing but handboarding.

Given how long he’s been projecting this route and how much he’s struggled posing this question is laughable. Upgrade possibility was the correct question.

You are crazy, climbing up the side of a mountain is nothing like an exam! Exams might dampen your spirit, and indoctrinate you in many ways but at least a week of singing bowls can get you over it, mess up on what you guys were doing and that is the end of your human experience!

Tell me one more time male privilage exists.

I asked my friends if they think I could sell foot pics and they told me I'd have more luck being paid to keep my feet covered at all times

Anna is fantastic! 😀Anna with feet is even better!! 😀

How are her feet staying pretty if she cramps them into climbing shoes? My toe nails are basically gone and I have rough skin everywhere

This is awesome

I don't even want to see a foot, let alone pay to see one.

Not my cup of tea but, more power to your elbow Anna 😂 (Yes it's a saying in the UK) not sexual spud feet pics 😂

Stunning level of stupidity....

Everything Magnus does in his life is for views on the internet.

Something is going on with Hannold mentally and emotionally. There is a flat lack of sensitivity there.

90% mental ability

Excellent content gentleman!

im so in love with her and nina

Alex watching his bothers and sisters finding salt

Love Paige! So thoughtful with her answers. And I love butter as well. Sometimes when I look in the fridge and I'm down to one stick I'm so surprised. Like how did I go through it so quick. Like with Paige though it's about balance.

He says that but I’d bet if you compared his flexor tendons to a power lifters they’d be noticeably bigger.

Imma beginner climber and been climbing a couple of times. When I started fingerboarding, my finger strength improve significantly! I was quite shocked and I can really see the improvement even after a few sessions on the gym

Traversi is a great surname for a climber......

He owns and runs a very thoughtful climbing gym. This take is in relation to the training emphasis and implements that have been emphasized so much in recent years. Time and place for all of it. Check out the full interview for his very thoughtful perspective on this and a lot more.

....literally all climbing halls are built around the movement component. You know, the places that set new routes weekly with new movements. Terrible take, 1/10.

A couple things I thought Alex handled badly: 1. He said there were no cracks on the route, there were in fact 2 cracks. 2. He said there would be lots of chalk, there was not much chalk at all. 3. He clearly didn't remember the route as well as he thought he did. 4. He at one point climbed way ahead of Magnus leaving him behind and went all the way up to a ledge and kept filming at a critical stage in the climb when Magnus was clearly struggling. He should have stayed close to him to advise him on holds and keep him calm throughout. At the end of the day it was Magnus choice to do the climb, but he made that decision based on information presented by Alex which was not always accurate. That said, that is partly what made it such an epic and dramatic video. Amazing content, but part of why it was so amazing was the fear the viewer has for Magnus life. Kind of uncool lol

The fact that he managed to free solo that after doing all that marine training the flights and long drives show you what kinda beast magnas is

Respect to this lady she’s a good climber “looks strong” BUT you got me😅 well played.

You just click bait me?

First

The F.A. shoulda just used a kneepad if the kneebar is there.... its the same as the F.A not finding a key hold until other people have repeated it, or a hold breaking and revealing a bigger hold. I do not think it should be easier with a pad, I think people can claim whatever the route is as long as they start off the deck and finish at the anchors.

As somebody with with ADHD, I don’t think this applies to me at all.

Does it have to be finger curls? Or can it be isometric hangs??

Bet she looks great naked

Hoping Alex makes his way to Rocktober Fest in the Red River Gorge Kentucky this year that would be awesome 🤙

Look at Patrick Edlinger, la vie au bout des doigts He was the star of climbing early 80s who made climbing what it is today. He free solo everything

About those days you had planned a lot and just find out you suck (e.g. not recovered): I typically switch to a super low intensity high volume steady state workout and more often than not after an hour of that super light cruisin' I suddenly realize that things get better. I even had days that started desperate like that and in the end I could do harder than planned even (or because) of hours of very light work put at the start. BTW: It's a shame how few followers this gem of a channel has. AdamOndra might climb the radest stuff and Mitbo might do the craziest shit on the planet. But here is where I learn a ton for my own climbing! Thanks a lot for the frequent high quality content (and also for the fun with Anna 😂)

I like Dr. Vagy - he definitely helped me recover from stenosing tenosynovitis (trigger finger). I followed the rehab from his videos and book. I had even made an appointment to see him here in LA, but his vids did the trick. And I still use them in my pre-climb warmup. Big thumbs up from me. Btw, lovin' your climbing show, Ryan!

I’m not good relative to the level I climb 😂😂😂. So he’s not theoretically world class but he is actually world class

Bars

These climbers are warriors

So true
