Yessss been waiting for someone to try this!

@freebtcforall513 5 years ago

Next episode should be "Crack Climber vs Climber on Crack", could be interesting I reckon

Sorry about the knee, Pete. I know that we all loved the collabs with Magnus. I think those are some of his most enjoyable videos. Great video chemistry. I hate that it happened, man. I hope that it won’t prevent you from making more videos with Magnus.

@jrblackify 5 years ago

Pete is my favorite youtube climber... he's always so genuine and lighthearted (and modest considering the badassery the he puts out there)

@The-VVhite-Crow 5 years ago

Mari is like: "Frontlever? Wait a second and let me grab my heaviest boots."
And @Pete; hope your your knee is getting better fast. :/ Even watching the video after that noise was painfull.

@NOTYOU0BVIOUSLY 5 years ago

Definitely try this again when you're feeling more fit, I think you could get 9a, especially if you practice front levers a bit

@meadoraustinr10 5 years ago

I started watching you and magnus about two weeks ago and y’all motivated me to start working out again. Watching from the North East corner of Texas!!

@ronaldb6417 5 years ago

There is some sort of alarm clock sound in the music. It really grinds my gears

@BigBigFlo 5 years ago

Nice video Pete! After watching you do the test I see we have something in common, I too can touch my nose with my tongue! I wished it would have been my climbing but well.. a skill is a skill!

@pastrop2003 5 years ago

Very inspirational in terms of firing me up for training and deeply depressing in terms of what I can actually do at the moment...Guess I have to sign up for that Lattice Training thing :)

@cvurko 5 years ago

Wow, Mari is such a beast!

Hope for a speedy knee recovery, Pete. Cheers.

"Off width climbing pumps you in your soul!" LOL!! I'm dying!!

My partner and I are going to do this test tomorrow!! Thanks Magnus and Pete for getting us psyched!!

@patrickfunk9102 5 years ago

Came for the climbing, stayed for the personality’s! 👌🏻 Awesome content!

@gekquad116 5 years ago (edited)

I love the idea of a trick test. That’d be fun to watch. Also keep cranking out the content! Been loving it.

I've commented elsewhere that there's an enormous difficulty gap between the 20 second L-sit and the 5 second front lever. I can do the 20 second L-sit, but I'm not even close to getting into the front lever--I'm not even able to do some of the exercises (such as a bent-leg front lever) that people do to work into the front lever. Given some of the amazing leavittation crack climbing stuff I've seen you do, there's absolutely no way you and I should be getting the same core score. If there's one improvement I'd make to the test, closing the gap between 6 and 7 for the core segment somehow would be the thing.

I have two problems with this test:
1. Hanging (endurance test) with thumb over or under can make a big difference depending how strong your thumb is. Magnus got 4.28 min with thumb over and 4.13 min with thumb under (On a norwegian show). I'm not saying Pete lacks endurance, but it would be interesting to see how he would score with thumb over.

2. To do a front lever is much more depend on you lats and back strength than the strength of your core muscles. If you can do 15 sec of v-sits, your abs are probably strong enough to do 10-15 sec of front lever.

Mari is super charming. well done on the tests! hope your knee is better, Pete. I had the same thing happen to my knee once a few years back. took little while to heal properly.

@Stefanson100 5 years ago

Would love to see Adam Ondra and Alex Megos do the Test!

@onyxdemeraude2412 5 years ago

It's always good to see your vids. I was hoping to see you do this test, after I saw Magnus do it, and I haven't been decieved! (Talking about him, I saw your replies in other comments about that knee injury. Good to see it's getting better!)
