We talked and the train arrived we got in and we sat together talked the entire time. While in the train i asked if i could take a picture so he said yea and i pull out my phone and accidentally put it on record lol we both get closer for the picture and i said ohhh i pressed record by mistake he said a video is better than a picture lol.

@@Mallchad well I mean you can't have many accidents free soloing...

Alex inspired me to climb the stairs without a hand on the railing. Some say it is unsustainable and eventually I'm going to fall. But it's not like I just go up unprepared. I have climbed those stairs using the railing many times. I know where all the good steps and holds are. I am careful to be sure I am able to down climb it if I get into an unsafe spot. When you have a certain level of skill, free stair solo looks more difficult than it really is. People are always asking my wife if she worries I will fall to my death or maybe to a bruise. Her reply is always the same: "It is his life and he has to choose his own path. But if he doesn't clean all that damn chalk off the stairs, I'm going to push him down myself."

Exactly my thoughts. Alex is a superb coach and motivator; he exists on another dimension.

I have watched this video multiple times and I get a different feeling each time. What a video. As someone who trains young professionals who often have to overcome stressful situations, this video is a perfect tool for 1) showing how to overcome a stressful situation with class and balls 2) establishing perspective i.e. their situation may appear scary but they’re not scaling a steep mountain without gear. Alex is either oblivious, knows you better than you know yourself or is shady as fuck for making you do that. Having said that, as often with people like Alex who aren’t really humans but are more of an abstraction in human form, he has helped you to do something and subsequently create something that is genuinely spectacular and a masterpiece. I hope you have processed any potential trauma you may have endured as a consequence of being in survival mode to that extent and thank you for your spirit.

Magnus you’ve got balls, this is the first video I’ve watched of yours and could see myself getting into climbing, but definitely not solo of course. I just can’t wrap my head around Alex, he’s so chill in the maddest of scenarios, it’s simply ludicrous.

Alex is an excellent coach though considering lives are on the line. He offered solid advice on tackling fear, like if you're not comfortable, be patient, think it through, don't do big moves. He didn't let Magnus succumb into his own fears (very real fears by all means), but he just kept reinforcing him he's doing fine, and we'll get there, no rush. If you're stuck, take 2 moves back if you have to... I like that about this. Ofc all these things Magnus already knew, but nice to hear over again and again as he climbs and holding on. Amazing video, thank you for risking your life to film this.

This is actually incredible! Magnus really inspires! He truly trusts Alex, but also his own climbing abilities and experience! They work extremely well together as a team.

The way Alex kept reinforcing “Look at Magnus, completely *relaxed*”

alex has an amazing vibe to him, he really seems like a great person.

@@libbybishop5697 Alex's amygdala doesn't fire at the same rate as a normal persons, but that wasn't always the case. He talks about it with Pat McAfee in their interview. He still gets a fear response, but he's just so desensitized to the fear response that for his brain to have that response would require orders of magnitude more fright than a normal person. However, he still knows fear and is able to empathize with that fear because he's already gone through dealing with all of that way earlier in his climbing career.

What a great video, i watched this multiple times start to finish, the tension with alex calmly talking magnus through the whole climb was amazing, this man is on another level

Watching this helped me a lot with my own fear with sport and trad climbing. I feel like listening to Alex break down focusing on each hold and knowing your own capabilities really helped

it shouldn't be understated how good of a job Alex did in helping to manage Magnus's fear. this is someone constantly and vigilantly providing a calm and positive atmosphere because someone's life literally depends on it. consistently talking and filling the silence, making little jokes, every negative that came up, instantly - look at the bright side. slippery sandstone? solid holds. hot rock? lots of chalk. you're doing great, you look like a fashion model! haha my camera's all dangled up. there's a hold up to your right that's PERFECT, it's so good. oh it's nice up here.

Don't forget that Alex doesn't feel fear at all and it is not only about training and getting used to it. The organ that makes humans exhibit fear-related behaviors (Amygdala) is not reacting to extreme condtitions in Alex's case the same way it does on the average human according to the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. My point is that Magnus really surpassed himself and it was way more difficult comparing to Alex try cause he had to overcome the biggest fear a human can have. Huge respect! **I read a misleading article but didn't check what tests they did. There is no reliable proof that Alex' Amygdala isn't working properly, therefore no reliable proof of him not feeling fear.
