Was Magnus Midtbø on Ninja Warrior?
Yes, the episode he was in was "USA vs. The World (January 2020)" He went at a controlled pace, managed to clear the first 2 obstacles with ease as they were very climber oriented. The 3rd obstacle was lache based and not as related to climbing, nonetheless he still completed it and went onto the 4th obstacle. This obstacle was perfect for a climber and resembles a 60-80mm edge in which you need to go up and down and side to side with a small jump in between which was easy for Magnus.
