The body acts like a capacitor when it comes to conductivity. Thus AC, and the higher the AC frequency is the more conductive the body gets, and the higher the current becomes. Still most people needs at least 50V AC at typical grid frequencies of 50 to 60 Hz to notice it if there is no skin penetration.

Omg he is a climber from Bergen. For English speakers who wouldn’t get it, it’s a city in Norway, but it also literally translates to “the mountains”. Like it’s just the normal word you would use to say mountain. So he is a professional climber, born and raised in ‘the mountains’.

Exactly! At least one person is stressing this here! It's a thing I believe to observe often with great climbers (also on youtube): They don't do the really basic security stuff, like partner check, then they're skipping holds inside a gym (which from a "role model" perspective is a really bad habit, see @Magnus in this video as well) and then sometimes they are really bad belayers, not attentive and doing things actually wrong (letting go the hand off the rope, holding grigri wrong, too much slack rope etc.) I would be really interested what Magnus had to comment about this, is this a thing among good climbers, kind of being too cool to have to do the basic stuff right?

Marte in a video again! Also bought your chalk bag and it is fantastic. Looking forward to more product

The excitement and nostalgia of this video is the absolute best! Birthplace of Mr. Meatball!!

Love how you got so nostalgic at your old gym. Marte, you did great, don't pressure yourself to climb better, you have to enjoy it or you'll burn out. And none of us want you to burn out!

Yesssss, nothing better than getting a notification on my phone telling me You posted a new vid! 🙌🏻👏

Get "Rungne" tattoo'd on your chest where it is on the shirt so your always wearing it 😂 Side note: glad to see more lead climbing video's.

Excellent point about finishing the knot. Tjis is also why it is gpod practice tp do a quick buddy check between the climber and the belayer. Takes, literally 2 seconds and you can catch eachothers mistakes. Same applies to all risky activities tbh. Diving, skydiving, climbing, driving boats (my job). We always cross check eachother constantly, not because we doubt that we have done it properly, but to catch the 0.1% of the time when an honest, regular mistake happens.

I love when Marta is in the videos. She is so much fun. Cool seeing Magnus's first climbing gym too. Makes me want to go to mine, but I fell at work about a week ago and my knee is tender and I have staples in my head. I hope to be climbing by 02/20/2020 my birthday. 🤞

OMG MARTE U ROCK GIRL..... watching ur progress in technique and climbing over the last few months is like watching my daughter progress, i find myself quietly cheering androoting for u to push urself and try that one more move. :-) keep up the good work missy and magnus i think everyone could see how happy and nostalgic u u got as soon as u got out fo the car at the gym.

Oh dang it's getting SERIOUS

Magnus: Moving in with me? Marte: ..........

It's crazy how much a climbing gym can feel like home when you spend so much time there. Your excitement to be back was super endearing and relatable. Always my favorite to watch lead climbing.

Nobody’s disappointed. Great job you two!

19:16 This right here just makes it obvious how strong magnus is. He calmly lets go of his footholds almost before he even gets his fingertips on the upper hold, then gently lets his upper body down, brings it back up, and just keeps climbing.

Good job Marta, I think you did great and im inspired by you. don’t be worried about what other people think or how they may judge you, I know that’s easier said than done though. When I go into a gym to work out sometimes insecurities get to me and I start to worry about what other people might be thinking about me and it destroys my focus and I’ve gotten a lot better at just pushing those thoughts away.. meditation and breath work really helped me a lot in that area. I am terrified of heights But there is such a thrill when it comes to bouldering gyms that is very addictive. I haven’t been in a couple years now and you guys have inspired me to get back into it. I think you did great. My hands and feet are so sweaty and I’d hold my breath watching you both way up there! Very inspiring.

It’s awesome to see how happy you both are! That’s what matters, be with someone that makes you happy and never give up on each other.

Im a figure skater from Bergen, so it’s super fun to think that we have been in the same building for so many years at the same time, the rest of the building is the ice rink.

Marte's doing so well! Can totally relate to her thoughts as I'm still getting the hang of lead climbing. You've got this girl!

Just found your videos today. I don’t climb. Never had any interest in climb in my life. But your videos are very entertaining. Your GF is a treat. Keep pushing

Hey Magnus. I've been watching your videos for a couple of months now and you inspired me to try climbing for the first time in my life. It was amazing and I can't wait to go back and improve. Thanks and keep up the awesome videos.

Idk if Magnus realizes how special it is that he has moments of his courtship of Marte documented like this. It’s gonna be so special to look back on if they stay together long term. Super cool stuff.

Yes, GF vlog! These are the best Magnus

Every episode is like a litte movie itself. Love it. Keep up the fantastic work magnus

You killed it Marte. The shakiness is part of growth. And learning YOUR way to clip. my friends call my method the bear claw cause my hands are big enough where I loop the rope through my thumb and pinky and grab the whole clip to squeeze it through.

magnus: *starts speaking norwegian* viewers: *confused noises*

It was great seeing your old climbing gym. I think Marta is getting so much braver and I see great improvement in her confidence and climbing. You are a good influence and teacher for her. Love your videos.

17:20 You should also always do a double check right before starting the climb: the belayer checks the knot and the climber checks the belay device!

I have no idea why, but I just love it when Magnus and Marte speak Norwegian.

14:38 That was an impressive effort! You will have to learn about how to rest during a lead climb, it is very different from bouldering and it takes experience and the body has to get grew more accustomed to it by relaxing for brief moments while climbing!

Nice to see an insight into your youth and early days as a climber, great video. Onwards and upwards!

Marte is so cute. Love all the episode that she is in, even no climbing videos.

Best climbing video I've seen in 2020. Getting back to your roots, showing your followers a glimpse of the place that made you into an elite climber plus a lot of what seemed to be some legit psyche and lov for hard climbing/training. Dope content, hope to see more of this!

This is low key emotional

dude you being young reminds me of myself now, I’m 14, after school almost every day I get a ride to my local rock gym with a friend or two and I climb for a couple hours.

Fell from way high up in a tree once when I was a kid... The trees and woods were our home at the time. We ruled them. Dropped the whole way down, through branches and bush, just dropping backwards fast... Last second my open hands gripped a final branch... STUCK IT... Gathered myself... Looked behind me... A very sharp rock inches from my spine... Beautiful times

This is one of the best videos you have done in my opinion! Really awesome to see where you grew up and trained as a kid!

Bergen is so beautiful especially because of the old "fisher trading houses", I was there 2 years ago and I have to say it was the most charming (bigger) city I have seen on my trip in Norway (We also visited Stavanger, Kristiansand, Trondheim and Alesund). Best wishes from Germany

This is my netflix now.

Really nice to see some climbing videos that feature something different from the many bouldering channels that I'm following. I mean, I enjoy them as well but it's nice to have something different, especially since this is the kind of climbing I prefer (though I've only been doing top rope so far, hoping to catch a lead climbing course in April but not certain it will work out because it also has to be lined up with at least one of the two people I'm climbing with). Also as someone who is learning to climb I really like seeing Marte's developing skills alongside your more veteran climbing and the advice you give her is really interesting.

thanks for suffering though the dust for us Marte

The sound editing is excellent, loved the music coming in and then moments of silence and back into it, perfect backdrop! And as usual Magnus climbing always leaves me in awe :D

Marta is progressing rapidly! 💪Hopefully by sommer -outside-climbing we won't see her with shoulders broader than Magnus's and doing one hand pull-ups😹

Thank you brother & sister... This was awesome. That gym is amazing. You can feel the history from there. So good vid.

Another really great video. Nice footage, good editing, good advice. There is something in here for almost everybody. Thanks M&M.

Awesome gym. I wish I had a place to climb when I grew up.

My old climbing gym had inserts as well. Never saw that anywhere else. I'm almost getting nostalgic...
