    This is a re-upload😕 YouTube demonetized the last version a few hours after it was uploaded. I tried to appeal it, but without success. I don't care about making money from the video, but I do care about it getting the views it deserves. YouTube won't promote a demonetized video, so it will only get a fraction of the views. I've had trouble with demonetization since my video with Alex, but this is the first time YouTube refused to change it. It's likely to be a problem in the future, so make sure you're subscribed with post notifications to ensure you don't miss a video.
  • He’s determined, he’s skilled but you can tell he’s still a happy kid being a kid. I’m glad he didn’t lose that.
  • @roman2374
    He also speaks very good English for such a young Frenchman! This kid is going places. It’s nice to see him being able to thrive in such a nurturing environment
  • @TedlaEKHAN
    "I will ascend once I take my t-shirt off" (as a balcony of girls look on). Theo has CR7-level moxy, determination, and self-confidence. I love it.
  • @Hayduke0
    Whoah, the fact that this kid was coaching Magnus tells you what level Theo's at. Magnus kept saying how strong he was, but his technical skills are the most incredible.
  • As soon as Theo started talking I became a fan. Man I hope his interest for climbing stays with him, it would be great seeing him evolve as he grows. He also seems really smart for his age
  • @AbduCola
    Omg he's so adorable. In the beginning I felt like he wasn't even really into climbing when Magnus was talking with his dad. I forgot he was a kid though and just didn't want to sit around and have an interview. You can see his joy and passion come out when they go climbing together
  • What makes Magnus unique is that he creates content for not only climbers but anyone who wants a good entertaining video. Cinematography, editing, and storytelling is key
  • @tinsucevic
    This kid is gonna go far, climbing or not. He has the determination and discipline to succeed in anything he sets his eyes on.

    Magnus, YouTube is going through some interesting changes that are having negative impacts on many creators. I'm sorry to see you're impacted as well. I just wanted to say, yesterday, at 31 years old and 260 pounds, I went to the gym and tried to climb some boulder problems for the first time. I had so much fun, the people there we so encouraging, and while I definitely struggled and am sore today, I had an absolute BLAST getting up some V0 and V1's. I can't wait to go back. This is all because of finding your channel, and experiencing your passion and contagious love for climbing. Thank you for your videos, and I will happily watch this all the way through a second time. Keep going!

    As a french person, I absolutely love when Theo doesn't understand what you say Magnus and still ask other people in the gym 'ça veut dire quoi' which means 'what does that mean' in French because he already speaks English very well for a 13-year-old boy but not enough to keep a conversation with you, great video and amazing work from both of you, it must have been weird to be 'coached' by a 13-year-old boy
  • @sgnole09
    "Work is the secret, work hard" this young man is light years of wisdom wise beyond his age
  • For everyone asking, he reposted it because YouTube tried to demonetize the last one. He says it in the description
  • The kid is freaking RIPPED!!! And so mature. Most young kids do not speak like him like when he called the move Beautiful most kids would be like oh that looks cool but he speaks with maturity.
  • @hazzah964
    YouTube is becoming such an asshole company. Disgusting amount of ads, dumb demonitization rules, getting rid of dislikes but at the same time allowing degenerate content and 18+ ads. It's deterring such great content creators like Magnus to continue working hard for their passion.
  • @NikhilWolf
    13:27 "And it's beautiful." It's incredible to me that this human has existed for only 13 years. What a precious mind he has.
  • @Moritz_Space
    I'm as old as Theo and this really motivates me to keep going and get better at climbing
  • @milico2935
    His english at 12 is also better than me at 20 LOL
  • Man he gets super chatty once you get him on a wall talking about climbing 😂 you can tell how much he loves it
  • @chiz161190
    Theo is talented He's working hard But most importantly He's a cool guy
