This past summer, I stopped by Magic Wood just before the world cup in Imst. Luckily Chuck Fryberger and Nalle Hukkataival were there and I got to climb with them for a few days. Chuck was mostly just filming Nalle on climbing cool looking problems including a 20 foot V9 slab. Anyways, Chuck was making a movie called “Pure” and I’ve put the trailer in just below. Since all the climbs Nalle was trying were totally new to me, it was really fun just trying them all and getting shown around the forest. The forest of Magic Wood is very similar to Squamish, there’s trees everywhere and the boulders are pretty scattered and sometimes a bit epic to find. During my 3 day visit, we tried boulder problems ranging from V8-V15. Mostly I spotted, but on occasion, I actually tried and topped some boulders. Maybe one day, I’ll be able to climb as hard as the boulderers in this video!!
