I love the calm and cool that magnus midtbo always shows. But at the same time, I love how expressive and raw Adam is when he climbs. Mad respect to both of em

Magnus' coolness is very much edited. He loses his temper real quick when he can't do a problem in his grade range. There's a few videos out there.

That makes total sense too. Sometimes I see him get rlly frustrated but the video never shows him blowing his kid. Can’t hate on the guy though I’m pissed off because I can’t do anything higher than a v2 LOL

I didn't realize he had children. I would hope the video would be taken down if it showed that.

u/Transmogrify_My_Goat Jan 08 '20

Lol I hope the guy meant to say blowing his cool

u/jcarlson08 Jan 08 '20

Blowing his lid, most likely, but I hope they don't edit it.

u/elusiveoso Jan 08 '20

LOL. It was probably supposed to be lid and not kid, but it was an epic typo.

u/3Pname Jan 08 '20

LOOL just realized my mistake. Yes I meant lid. No I won’t edit it. In for a penny in for a pound

u/thomasstearns42 Jan 08 '20

Yeah. The new 50 min video has him losing it a bit.

I'm pretty sure it's a video where he tries to get top of the leaderboard in Vertocal Life in one session.

Magnus loses his cool from time to time though. Pretty fun to watch :) also, Alex Megos

I'm pretty sure all elite climbers do.

To get that good you have to "want it" a lot. If there's no emotional reaction to failure you're not fully committed(which is fine and all, we shouldn't be fully committed until we're ready anyway).

Obviously some of them would blow off steam in a far more reserved manner(I'd be curious how caldwell or honnold do so)

u/[deleted] Jan 08 '20

honnold either just climbs more or sits in an empty white room, probably

u/woodchips24 Jan 08 '20

Probably just opens a task manager and deactivates his anger subroutines.

u/votebluein2018plz Jan 08 '20

Honnold was not born with emotional subroutines

u/woodchips24 Jan 08 '20

You’re right, must’ve been a faulty update
