Midtbø was particularly impressed by Lama.[15]
Midtbø retired from competitive climbing in May 2017,[16] saying: "I still get motivated just by climbing. I think some people need a specific goal, but I’ve never felt like I needed one. It sounds really cheesy, I know. I just love climbing. I love being in the nature. I love the feeling of feeling free, but it is like that you know. I don’t know. I like the lifestyle, I like traveling, I like trying hard, and most of all, I like the feeling of feeling really fit, really strong, the feeling of being able to climb anything."[17]
Media career
Midtbø runs an eponymous YouTube channel, which had over two million subscribers as of November 2023.[18]
