Bouldering with Magnus Midtbø in London
I met up with Magnus Midtbø (@magmidt) at Parthian Climbing in London for a training session that will soon be featured on his channel.
We spent 25 minutes climbing some of the hardest boulders in the centre in a chilled fun session with someone I've spent years following in both competitions and subsequently following his You Tube channel online.
This wasn't the most intesne session or a highly edited video... it was simply relaxed climbing with a great climber and a really nice guy. I hope you enjoy :)

After this collab, the next one will be Toby wearing a grey mustache and wig, and calling himself "Terry" to take bouldering lessons from a gym employee, who will be shocked when he sends a V15 in rental shoes.

It's just so lovely how genuine and awkward (in a good way) this is ☺️ You can really tell that comp Magnus admires comp Toby and KZread Toby admires KZread Magnus. It's been really impressive to see how Magnus has adapted to all his collabs in different vids recently. I hope that KZread can give Toby the confidence he needs on the wall. Man you're amazing ! Love you both and wish the best for you ❤
The number of climbers who didn't work on their projects that day bc you guys showed up, and watching strong climbers is so much more fun. :)
Amazing to see how insightful magnus actually is! Would love to see him interview more climbers, the videos with ondra were awesome as well!
real and gold advice from Magnus starting at 13:00, loved it!

Nice pieces of 'advice' from Magnus. Been watching Toby's channel from the start (as well as Magnus') and he has a very interesting take on this vlogging thing, which is fresh and super genuine and tongue in cheek at times. Keep going, you'll love these vids in 20 years time, as Magnus said it's your diary. Right attitude, super strong climbing and still a teen. Things aren't looking too bad. One day it'd be nice to see Toby outdoors. But then again I don't know if he's on the Ondra side of things on that front.

@laurena3460

It will be a grade range category to signify that it's "between the hardest grade we colour category and the hardest climb we would set", it's the problem with colour coded grading systems, the diversity of holds you need to set a 12 V grade range (VB-V10) in a predetermined colour in a gym means you'd need a huge number of holds in each colour, plus a range of colours that ultimately will not be accessible to colorblind climbers (or anyone once they are chalky enough). VB to V4 will most likely have a colour each and then anything above that level will be green and for climbers to estimate the actual grade. My gym has a similar system and if you ask the setters they will give you an actual V grade. Colour systems are more accessible and less intimidating for new/beginner climbers and tag labels are more useful for advanced climbers it's a definate tradeoff that a gym has to decide.
Great to have such a talented athlete from the uk
