I tried the world's biggest climbing gym // With Alexis Landot 

Not quite that but I did a climb that was mostly strength (and I could barely do it) and while resting feeling happy these guys who must have seen Magnus' no feet challenge video show up and do it with no feet. I told them to **** off lol

Honestly it doesn't even bother me, I kinda expect it.

@@durragas4671 if they did it on purpose because they saw u struggle on it that's a dick move.

One man's project is another man's warmup...

Happens to me quiet often, because a lot of athletes from the french national teal come to my gym for training

Did he eat 5 dozen eggs and was wide as a barge?

Actualy a lot of climbing words Come from french language. Mostly in alpinism 😁

I've always thought it was named after Gaston from Beauty and the Beast? LOL

Thanks for the info 🙂

Yea I thought it was named after beauty and the beast since Gaston did the flex where his fist faced outwards

I didn't know french boulders was that hard! In France it's really common to have colors as grades and I always wondered what really were the grades

@@greenmattt Haha I'm French and everytime I watch Magnus videos at his home gym and see him warming up on a "7B" I'm like "come on man this is a blue at best here". Doesn't help that I usually climb at the same gym as most of the French bouldering NT. If only you saw the hardest boulders here, some cause trouble even for World Cup / 8C level athletes.

@@greenmattt yeah I climb in Paris too and the color system, while very good to not get worked up on grades and such, makes it hard to compare your own level to the others online/in videos. Seeing Magnus not instantly flash purples and whites makes me feel better about my own struggles on reds ^^

@@maginkub Karma ?

He really showed his skill and dedication in this vid, amazing to watch

Not really. There's like 15 boulders of any color.

@@dakiblabla thats just not true

@@polaroid8349 It is true (15 per color). You can literally verify by counting in the video.

@@dakiblabla Ignoring the underestimate, do you climb 15 of your project grades a day or what?

@@IFearlessINinja It's not an underestimate. COUNT.

Oo la la

what's one unmonetized video out of so many?

How do your videos not get demonetized but magnus’s would?

@@hippo_playz They are

​@@AlexisLandot yeah they don't even. Get recommended

@@Ryukon613 actually I am now banned from posting so 🤣

@@AlexisLandot oh dam Do you know shiey wonder why he's not banned pretty sure what he does is illegal

Merci le 93 ! :) Bientôt Paris 2024

Mur mur Pantin aussi il y a de quoi faire !

I'm 40 and just got back in to climbing. Looking to buy chalk, bag and pants from Rungne. Magnus is such an inspiration! Keep going up!

I know I had climbing walls even in my middle school sport hall, and it was 10 years ago in a small town. Climbing is definitely pushed forward in France

non

I wish we had that in my school!

I live in the US and my high school as well as university had climbing walls, and I live in a state where the nearest outdoor climbing is in other states 😂 I only wish I got into it during high school and not later during uni, but glad I do it either way

I think it's more complicated than that, maybe France has a good background when it comes to climning, but for me those who have the chance to experience it from a young age, it's not specifically from school. For a good part, yes we have the chance to practice climbing during our school years (for those who have it for the longest time it is during college / lycée which I think is equivalent to secondary school, but even this long was rare a few years ago). But unfortunatley in a way those years will make a lot of people afraid of it: it's an obligation, it's for the grades, teachers most often do not really like it and are not interested by this sport. For example I had it as part of my allocated sport hours only from when I was like 15 to 17-18, and I know that most of my friendss didn't really liked it / were afraid of it. So we do not have the chance to practice it from a young age as I see it / experienced it during my scholarity. Maybe it's just that this sport is really becoming more and more populair in France since a few years, and we have some good climbing / bouldering gyms. But for the few years that I practiced it during my scholarity, it was far from being one of the most popular sports (even most for bouldering which I never saw during those years). When it comes to extracurricular activities, maybe we have more opportunities than others, I couldn't tell. But even then, you need to get the chance to try it and have people push you toward this sport.

i don't want to diminish the impact of magnus worlwide, but bouldering is born in france almost 100y ago now and not so far from Paris, so yeah it's well implanted by now XD

@@teddychataigner5779 oh well yea he didn’t invent the sport! Just a huge factor in its recent boom, along with free solo and all the press that movie got

@@teddychataigner5779 un vrai Bleauzard ;)👍

in Austria, everyone and their mother climbs. the climbing boom is real

There’s been a climbing book for sure, that’s been accelerating since 2019 or so, but it’s a bit of a chicken or egg question with climbing youtubers etc. Is climbing popular because of people like Magnus or is Magnus popular because climbing is popular?

When he jumped down they were so many people in the background completely in awe. Hehe :)

My thoughts exactly, great finish for this video 👍👍

What grade is that?

​​​@@anthonykargoglou7205 I'd say 8b probably or V11

Pete Whitaker would be proud of the jam!

He really loves biting into a challenge.The Nordic pitbull.

Jep. Se oli pelkkää ylämäkeä!

He literally just climbed with Shawn so you'd think you could spell their last name.

A video with Janja would be awesome

@@Pennwisedom "respect"

aah yes, the Caliphate of Paristan

Years and years of hangboard training coming in strong, that would've been a one way ticket to pulley-snap city if I tried one arming a crimp after a foot pop like that

That boulder had to have been put up by setters who do resoling as a side gig.

@@ThatLaggyNoob Or orthopedic surgeon who does ankles.

you cant anyway. The boulder grades vary so much from one gym to another that they are essentielly useless

Its the same with some gyms here in Sweden too. But if you dowload an app (veritical life) you can see the grades. Would not be suprised if its like that sometimes in france too?

@@veglord4481 No we don't have such apps in the gyms...

en réalité je pense que ça a avoir avec l'éthique de l'escalade en France, en gros tu peux faire un bloc super dur parce qu'il te sied super bien, et au final "échouer" dans des cotations plus simples Je pense qu'il ne faut pas trop se fier aux cotation c'est ce que veut nous dire les couleurs c'est plus un ordre d'idée, que significatif d'un vrai niveau

@@elie8194 Depends on the Gyms. Arkose and Climb-Up (And by extension MROC in Lyon) are present on "Social Boulder", you can see the Boulders and routes on it, and they try to display the difficulty a bit more precisely than just colors, even if not always accurate and not always put into "regular" grades. Climbing district in Paris has QR-codes below each boulder that leads to youtube videos of the betas. So, it looks like climbing gyms are trying more and more to develop their 'connected' side.

I think downward jumps like that are technically illegal under IFSC rules

@@zoaxanthellae yeah it seems like an ankle/leg injury waiting to happen lol

It's actually not really in Paris ;)

@@loumnietwixe7438 Two subway stops north of Paris.

Just don't go there after dark. The neighborhood is really sketchy.

@@dakiblabla Not true - I go there with my now-7-year-old.

@@AlexTheUruguayan Great. Try going there as a woman, by public transport.

Quite a few gym manage to be "the biggest" by some metric. Biggest in surface total, biggest in meter of walls, biggest in volume, highest, biggest in number of routes ... Hard to tell is it's really THE biggest one. But it sure is impressive.

Climb Up Porte d'Italie has the biggest amount of boulder problems, and a spray wall with a 45 degrees incline.

Y'a rien a arkose nation par rapport à Aubervilliers

@@xigoute4173 "Y'a rien a arkose nation par rapport à Aubervilliers" --> Juste 45 blocs de plus ? Même si les codes couleurs sont différents. (Only 45 more boulders ? Even if color codes are different.) Comme quelqu'un d'autre l'a dit, le plus important, ça serait Climb'Up Porte d'Italie en terme de Bloc. Avec un Total de plus de 250. (As someone else said, the biggest for boulders would be Climb'Up Porte d'Italie. With a total over 250.) Pour revenir à Aubervillier et Nation : (To go back to Aubervillier and Nation :) Climb'Up Aubervilliers : 105 blocs au total. - 14 Jaunes (Yellow) - 14 Verts (Green) - 16 Bleus (Blue) - 18 Violets (Purple) - 16 Rouges (Red) - 16 Blancs (White) - 8 Noirs (Black) Arkose Nation : 150 Blocs total. - 24 Jaunes (Yellow) - 24 Verts (Green) - 26 Bleus (Blue) - 26 Rouges (Red) - 26 Noirs (Black) - 24 Violets (Purple) La seule raison qu'Aubervilliers est plus grand, c'est l'escalade en voie. (The only reason Aubervilliers is bigger, would be thanks to the Rope-climbing routes.)

@@aminebarnat6528 Thanks for the information, I'll go take a look myself. Looks like with 250+ it's indeed impressive for boulder problems.

Oh putain oui je le veux
