    Hi Magnus, absolutely loved the video as always. Can't wait to grab the book!
    I'm a climbing coach from the UK, and I might have some alternative beta for the Black on the slab that took you a few tries. From the end of the dyno position, bring your left foot to the top of the bottom hold, then move your right foot to the foothold above your right hand. Sucking your hips in, reach over with the right hand (like a cartwheel) and press against the 2nd to last hold. bring your left foot to to stand on the sloper, and using the right hand banana sidepull, rockover to the finish.
    As we both know, a video never captures what the climb was actually like, as so this could all be rubbish. Love to see it as always though. Enjoy the Holiday!

    I feel like if someone wanted to make an out-of-context Magnus vid he would make it too easy.

    Man, I just love slabs. They're easily my favorite boulders. I'd love to like crimps more but they're so hard.

    Dropping in the comments to let you know the effort on More Magnus is recognized and appreciated! Love these one on one moments and more vlog style videos. Makes it feel like a normal sesh any of us could be a part of!

    Buying the book on presale for the autograph three years ago was an amazing decision. I really liked it and highly recommend it.

    I climb frequently at this gym, and I really hope they bring back normal grades instead of colors.
    Anyway, dope to see you make OG climbing videos here again
