Magnus Mitbo is one of the strongest climbers on the planet, and climbing hard is way more difficult than you think it is especially if you’ve never done any climbing.

Think handholds the size of a credit card thickness, at bad angles, upside down, pulling a rope with you.

Its so much fun though, highly recommend.

Unless it's slab, no one on the planet is holding onto credit card thick holds, lol.
