Hardcore new routing in Scotland with Magnus Mitdbø 

An honor to finally climb with you Dave🙌🏼

"Conditions? A 5. With 10 being we're already dead" *Meanwhile* underneath them an 18 wheeler gets blown off the road and flips over by the windstorm

Dave, you and Magnus have a fun dynamic and I really hope you film more projects together in the future. Hilarious to see Magnus smiling his way through that horrific Scottish weather 😂 This was a treat, thanks Dave

😂😂😂 “10 being we are already dead” …. Too good

Poor Magnus, didn't climb outside for a year and when he does it's bouldering while it's showering and sport climbing under a wind tsunami. Pure Scotland.

the bags fleeing the scene.. hilarious

Really good one. If you hear Dave say: "holy $hit man" things are hardcore 😂

The bags falling down 200 metres, the trailer flipping, the wind moving the quickdraws around, the "at 10 we are dead". Perfection.

Wow Magnus and Dave MacLeod on a local crag….me and my mate were there a week ago.

More Dave and Magnus collabs please :D

It's a shame the weather got in the way on both days. I would love to see Dave and Magnus work on something hard together. They would make a good team

kudos to whoever setup the mics in that wind, sounded amazing considering

Sad this isn't an hour long! :)

looks like it was a tougher experience for Magnus than all the special forces training he has done - but then Dave always seems to be a one-man special force

You’ve really got to appreciate the ferocity of Scottish weather. We definitely need to see Magnus back to finish this.

Just watched the video on Magnus channel and I see this... this day keeps getting better!

That definitely needs a follow-up!

I love the absolute glee and endless psych even while suffering in terrible conditions - the things we do for love

Its attitude, mindset and effort like that which makes Dave and Magnus such respectable and impressive climbers and people. Really great to see

What a video! I think this is the most entertaining video you've done Dave, the music, the wind stealing your bags, you absolute nutters, bloody fantastic.

Magnus has gotta be the busiest youtuber. How many countries does he travel to a week for collabs it feels like he's everywhere at once for only days at a time.

come on man! the video could have been longer. want to see all the bits and pieces. Thank you for making such a fun video. Great to see you two climb together in Scotland.

I bet the cameraman was DYING just hanging on the wall.

This was absurd! So fun to watch

So happy to see you and Magnus. Magnus is always real.

You had to be a bit of a tease haha, I was so excited to see you route/line selection and bolting location process. I think seeing your perspective of developing would be an amazing watch!

This was so, so good! Hope you guys collaborate more in the future!

Been waiting for this collab for awhile!

Awesome! I've been waiting for this colab for a while! Great to see you guys made it happen. Would love to see more adventures!

I love this collaboration!

Banger of a video! Really enjoyed watching!

So glad to see Dave and Magnus climbing together! And what a way to be introduced to Scottish climbing! Really think that if people can handle the conditions up there they will be fine anywhere. Hope to see more videos!

Thanks Dave, thanks Magnus, helps a lot!

Your videos on technique are the best there is. I am so much looking forward to your course at altitude! Loved the video

I can't wait for this. Been watching you and Magnus for a while. It feels like this collaboration is long overdue. Magnus really likes to bring other climbing content creators attention with collab on his main channel.

Dave finally got Magnus out of the house lol

This was great to see and the approach wellies are the one!

Great collab. Had me laughing throughout. That area looks so beautiful.

this is amazing we love the boys together

Really very good, excellent soundtrack choice !

Really inspiring man, will get around to it

Great video. Cool to see you climb together.

Just realised you signed my copy of 9 out of 10 - I am feeling a bit starstruck with that haha

The colab we didnt know we needed!

Cool video; Absolutely banging music 🤘

My favorite content producers together, thanks guys. 🎉

incredible video!

two of my absolute favorite gentleman climbers. i love you guys.

Great Video, nice to see pro climbers taking the "giving it a go" to the extreme.

Great collab!

Dave and Magnus .. pls do more climbing together. Thoroughly enjoyed this!

what a nice sunny day out!

Glad to see you made sure you took all necessary precautions to protect Magnus from a dose of the flu or even pleurisy. Great stuff!

Such a cool video 🤩

Crazy weather! would love to see the FA of this!

That was very interesting. Inspiring really.

Both videos were really amazing! I would love to see you do more collabs honestly. Also the music is extremely fitting for the hardcore conditions, like holy crap you guys are really crazy!

Dave you are such a badass climber 👊

Love climbing in bad conditions, makes the experience all that much more memorable. New vid on my channel.

Really want to try some of the routes you bolted near Oban this year 👍

The two most E. P. I. C. videos on the YT, this and the one on the Magnus's channel

Collab that we all deserved

Dope vid

Amazing!

Great colab

Love this

The colour of their hands says it all. With the wind chill and the actual temperature makes this hardcore indeed. Good effort lads!

love this collab, that was some hardcore scottish climbing

I think the wideboyz need to have a discussion about daves weather grading system. Dave has given todays weather the D grade of 5. If thats the case ive never even been sport climbing in D1 conditions.

Wonderful!💥💥💥

EPIC!

A shame the wind was what it was, but I think you guys made the most of it. Can’t wait to see the course!

Dave even Sandbags the weather...

Now I understand *why* there are so many unclimbed faces in Scotland 😅 As much as I love climbing, I'd never be outdoors trying anything in such weather, but there those beasts are, taking it all with a smile on their faces haha This type of resilience is a very good trait to have to be as great at climbing as they are.

Dave is the definition of Hardcore wholesome

Very cool!!!

He got the full Scottish experience ( great music btw)

Wind is mad, & you two are even madder.

It's ok to stay inside some days, Dave! Raincheck!

I had understood that in Scotland it is not allowed the use of fixed bolts in the rock. But in the video it seems that there are several bolts already installed in the route.

Dave’s got the Fred Beckey river crossing technique down pat!

Magnus always take Mountain Equipment with you for Scotland :-)) - i like this products

I've always climbed with my socks on because I learned to lead in Scottish winter!

you'll almost never regret a little bit more wool when traveling somewhere that can be cold

Im not hardcore climber but I climbed outside in the Calanques (France) as a kid where its always very windy, and that comment on the conditions making you forget fear kinda rings true to me, I wasn't the most courageous climber but having to fight the conditions sometimes made me forget the height or whether I was above my last clip yet or not lol

When I was a kid climbing in Scotland we would just add a difficulty grade to the route if it was (raining) wet. That way you could still climb even when it was shitty and feel like you accomplished something. We did some pretty rad routes in wet condition.

Great video Dave really good dynamic between you and Magnus. I am curious what allows a route to be bolted? And not climbed as a trad route? Is it just a lack of suitable gear placements?

Great content. Glad Mitbo stuck it out 😅

5:20 That conditions scale has got to be the most trad thing I've ever heard.

Two amazing guys used to live in though places with rough weather: "just a bit off wind." I imagine it as a highlander and a viking going for a hike in a howling blizzard and being like: "It's nice today, ey. Wind seems to have calmed a bit from yesterday." "Yeah, just a shame the shep keep flyng away."

I noticed something as you were walking near the burn (creek). You had the straps of your walking poles over the top of your hands. This can cause a problem if the lower end of the pole gets stuck (in a bush etc.) and the pole can pull out of your hand due to your forward momentum. The strap pulls down on the thumb and can sprain, dislocate or break your thumb. My right thumb has less mobility due to doing this when skiing. The correct way is to hang the poles on the wrists by the straps, then lower the hands onto the handles with the straps going into the palms. Hope this saves at least one thumb. Thanks.

Hi Dave, love you content! - I'm a beginner climber myself and the announcement of your new course is really awesome - did you mention in one of your recent videos, that part of the course will be available for free? - if so, are there any updates on that?

the collaboration Scottish people have been waiting for!

2:15 Magnus is drunk with the power of those wellies. "I can step in anything, no matter how wet or muddy!"

Hot aches? I've had them climbing on the Buachaille in June, but no lorry blown over that day!

As a sailor, seeing those gusts, you guys were climbing in probably force 5/6 with gusts to 6/7. That's pretty strong wind 😳 Very impressive

Hi Dave great video, where was this crag you bolted in the beginning of the video? Thanks

Awesome!! Is that you playing the guitar at the end?

I mean the climbing is very cool in those conditions. But honestly, how badass isn't the cameraman hanging up there in those winds? Not getting warm from climbing that wind has to chill you through the bones...😮

People standing around that lorry going omfg look what just happened! And looking up to see rock climbers half way up a rock face! 😂
