Midtbo, who has previously made a YouTube clip of his girlfriend reacting to his free solo climb after breaking a promise, has collaborated this time with Hall to create this engaging content. Hall started the video by saying, “Today is something interesting. It’s world’s strongest man tries climbing'”. He subsequently posted on Instagram, writing, “Rock climbing at 170 kg bw. Only allowed to use the blue rocks”. Utilizing only the single-colored rocks to climb is what makes it interesting.

The climbing wall is designed with rock-shaped entities protruding out from the crevices. These entities are used to hold a firm grip and climb on the wall. They are of various colors, and to make it more interesting and tough, A.K.A. real-world-like, only the ones of the same color are to be used for the climb. While the gray-colored rocks are the easiest, the level of toughness goes up with green, orange, and blue, and the toughest is black.
While Hall is 370 lbs, Midtbo, on the other hand, is 154 lbs. The former professional climber is more than 200 lbs lighter than Hall, which is ideally what one needs to be to climb great heights.

Midtbo told Hall that among all good climbers, the heaviest he ever came across was 187 lbs. In a hilarious manner, Hall realized he was going to have a tough time while climbing.
Hall said, “OK. So I’m p***ing in the wind. p***ing in the wind, so to say”, on finding out that he weighs almost double the heaviest good climber Midtbo has ever known. Hall always looks to create good, entertaining, and engaging content. On another occasion, Hall impersonated Pakistani strongman Khan Baba which was pure comedy gold.
