  • Magnus after meeting Honnold: I'm never going free soloing again... Also Magnus: ...
  • @markhenry64
    "And no chalk or anything??" Magnus's worst fear 😁
  • @aht925
    Tarzan: don't think Magnus: thinking with every branch
  • @jeverbever
    Leo was so kind and good at supporting Magnus throughout the climb, reminding him to breathe, calmly providing instructions and encouragement. It was nice to see! He's a good teacher.
  • @imag1n342
    This guy and Alex Honnold should totally have a tree-climbing sesh together
  • "I LOVE YOU" is the greatest moment in this video. I'm so proud of you, Magnus! What an incredible experience.

    I have never seen anything like this and I must say that I'm extremely impressed. I am wheelchair bound so I have no clue what it's like to even climb anything, but I do know fear and I could feel Magnus and his fear but what he did was push straight through it and I think that part was amazing. He didn't give in and I bet that he'll continue to do stuff like this now. Somebody said that's the fastest 30 minutes ever, I can definitely see what he means because I can't believe that I watched that whole thing and half of it I held my breath. Gotta love it. I can say I lived vicariously through him and there is a climbing place near me, I am overweight and in an electric wheelchair but climbing is something I've always wanted to try, and they have told me that there's a way for me to try it and it will help build strength in my arms and shoulders and even my legs which I can move but can't use terribly good, my biggest fear is falling, but I think that I might be able to do it with all the assistance that I can get. Thank you for your inspiration.

    “If you want to die, die well!” This guy is such a great teacher.

    You can tell Magnus is terrified but he keeps his cool and pushes his boundaries. Impressive stuff

    I’ve been climbing trees for almost a decade now as a removal specialist and maintenance arborist. This is so cool to see people from other skills and walks getting a peek into the life of tree climbing. You really gain a new sense of trust when climbing trees, if you think about it, untreated 2x4’s are really hard to break. Now think about a tree that’s not only as thick as a 2x4 but also with the flexibility of still being alive and not dried out, you got a really powerful thing to climb on. Species dependent, of course

    My hands have never sweated as much as they did while I was editing this one 😮🥵
  • I never thought I'd be watching two grown men climbing trees for 29m straight, but here I am. The commentary, different angles, uncertainty & everything made it super engaging actually. Wow. I could watch more of this, for sure. Life's peak is in its nature.

    I once met Leo in the Parisian subways few years ago. Back in that time, he was doing free solo climbing on skyscrapers. I told him “you are fucking crazy man”, he looked surprised and simply asked me “why ?” as if it wasn’t obvious 😂. I’m glad you followed him in his “French Tarzan” project ! Super nice video and bravo for your courage 👏
  • @gnosticsoul7317
    Courage is not lack of fear, courage is being afraid and still doing it. What you did in the video Magnus is true courage and this is one of the best videos ive seen on youtube, period. You deserved a new sub.
  • @Benitentiary
    14:57 I love the "I LOVE YOU!!!" Just pure ecstasy in being able to share/teach somebody to go outside of their comfort zones & fully live this life in the moment - much Love & respect for the European Tarzan!!!
  • @RsnCheered
    Who knew how captivated I’d be watching two grown men climb a tree, incredible content haha. Props to Magnus for facing his fears head on!
  • @EmanuelSN
    I used to do that as a child. As I live on a region with tropical rainforests it was somewhat easier to move through the trees that were wayyy closer to each other. My main fear wasn't even the height but the sheer amount of unknown creatures living in the forest and potentially very close to me, snakes are a good example
  • @HeartOfLEO
    Climbing trees like this seems like a very spiritual experience, synchronizing yourself strongly with nature.
