I stumbled upon a Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold video a few years back, so every now and then I get random climbing videos in my feed which is how I stumbled across your channel. I don't climb, and haven't competed in any sport since high school, but these beta break videos are so fascinating. Your explanation of the techniques and movements really convey the difficulty, and this series is so fascinating and well produced I've binged all of them. Love the videos man, keep it up!
You must try..........I broke my right clavicle 3yrs ago I was in a sling fir my 40th birthday,thinking to myself how long it would take to get strong (if ever).A friend mentioned bouldering (indoor) to me,I thought it would be good for a bit physio,six months after the “break” I tried for the first time. It’s now 2 and a half years later and I haven’t stopped,I’ve got to a decent level now and I’m stronger and tighter than I was in my thirties.............also moved from Scotland (Edinburgh ) to Mallorca to climb all year.YEEHA!✌🏻👍🏻🧗♂️🧗🏻♂️
Yes, so coaches( or climbers) can appeal a boulder is illegal since it requires a downwards dyno. Therefor not counting to the end result of the competition.
Just wanted to comment and say that I really appreciate the effort you put in these videos. I want to hopefully speak for myself and hopefully some of your viewers and say the effort you put in really does show and shows how much you care about your channel. Thanks again for the content
Why do I love this channel? Because he gives context, history everything on the topic to show importance of beta break. I don't have to look anywhere else.
I'm a new climber but I love watching these difficult problems solved by beta breakers and creative climbers because it motivates me to keep trying and keep at it. If there's a will there's a way.
THANK YOU for actually showing the full attempt on the problem when you focus on it, it’s so much more pleasant than only getting to see a tiny clip that cuts off before i see the next move
I was just gonna say "I really appreciate the research and effort put into these videos and that they're great to watch." but I think other people have already said it. Still, can't hurt to hear it a few times. Great job, man!
@@letsprogress4124 it's an up and back motion that used to do it for me before having it pinned. Name the activity and there's a fair chance I popped a shoulder (funniest was going down on my girlfriend on new year's). I wouldn't and couldn't do this
Wowsers, just stumbled on your videos by accident. haha! i used to do climbing as a teenager as part of a scheme with my secondary school and loved it so much. i never went back though so these videos brought back a lot of memories. thanks!
Its hard not being able to go to a climbing gym and practice because of this virus going around but these videos help keep me into climbing and are just plain awesome! Seeing some of the best climbers in the world do things that I never thought was possible on a climbing wall reestablishes my love for climbing. Keep doing what your doing and thanks for this amazing series!
During lockdown I've been re-watching the IFSC worlcup finals and this one (Meringen 2018) is by far the most exciting one for men 🤩. Boulder n°2 was also amazing!
I like watching these videos, they're edited well and incredibly highlights the Beta breaks. But personally I feel exhausted watching them climb I just feel weird my shoulders start to stiffen as if I'm the one hanging lmao.
I always wonder how athletes from old times would feel, seeing our modern champions, in all kinds of sports. (and goes for today's champs, facing athletes from 50+ years from now in the future) Climbing, boxing, swimming, whatever : the bar just feel like raising more and more through the years.
2:48 seems like height is required to perform the flying heel hook that Jernej did. That seems to be the main reason why most people tried what they did, they didn't have the length to hook. I don't have a clue about rock climbing whatsoever, but his lengthy limbs seems to allow for the ability to perform some of these moves. Still a lot of respect though for creativity. I get exhausted just watching these climbers climb sheesh.
For a moment I thought by flying heel hook you were talking about a Heel Hook leg lock xD That'd be literally the fastest way to accidentally tear someones shins in half
I went and watched the video... It did not count as a fall, he got another go (didn't place high enough to go to the next round, though). The setters just went back up and screwed the hold back in. Jernej had an 11-minute rest before his 2nd run, as the rules specify 1 minute of rest per hold in in the case of a technical incident, and he had climbed 11 holds so far.
Great video as always! Just one thing keeps irritating me. It comes across a bit condescending to me when you start the video with "I am *of course* talking about..." Most people probably don't even notice, though ^^
so ivfe watched like 6 of your videos and love them all but I still cant figure out what a ''beta break'' actually is? is it like a climber changing the meta?
Kind of! Beta refers to: Beta is climbing jargon that designates information about a climb.[1][2] The complexity of beta can range from a small hint about a difficult section to a step-by-step instruction of the entire climb.[1][3] In rock climbing this may include information about a climb's difficulty, crux, style, length, quality of rock, ease to protect, required equipment, and specific information about hand or foot holds. For mountaineering, beta may include information about the length and difficulty of the approach, availability of water on the climb and the approach, ease of exiting the route before completing it, descent information, perhaps even useful logistic information for climbs in foreign countries.[citation needed] Sometimes a beta is also drawn, in the form of a beta-map.[4][5] Basically these climbers are finding a way to do the climbs in a very different way!
I thought flying heel hook meant he was gonna catch himself with a heel. 😂
Same

Hey! I'm glad you like my videos, and I hope that if you find time and want to - pick up climbing when the gyms reopen!

Go outside u nerd, boulderings free. You dont need any gear to have a good time
@@bazwax77 This is such a HYPE story. I'm so glad you're still climbing and getting stronger! Have fun at Mallorca!
Albert Ok thanks man.👌🏻💪🏻🧗🏻♂️
"downward dynos can be scary and dangerous"
*parkour traceurs nodding in approval*
Seeing people hug without any hesitation is so heart warming right now...
It's such a happy sight :)
The downward dyno wasn’t against the rules anyway because that rule is for the routesetters. :)
Haha ;D
Yes, so coaches( or climbers) can appeal a boulder is illegal since it requires a downwards dyno. Therefor not counting to the end result of the competition.
xTransmission but it doesn’t require one, because it was climbed other ways also
Did you guys even watch the video? He goes over this exact thing.
The rule is against it being the intended beta. The climbers can do whatever they want when they are in the wall.
Just wanted to comment and say that I really appreciate the effort you put in these videos. I want to hopefully speak for myself and hopefully some of your viewers and say the effort you put in really does show and shows how much you care about your channel. Thanks again for the content
It's almost 1am and you're about to make me cry with this comment.
Albert Ok you deserve this praise! Dawsoin said it right and I couldn’t say it any better myself.
Exactly, it is rare something on RUclips holds my attention as much as these videos do they are fascinating and I am excited for more!
I think my shoulders will crack open if I do a downward dyno 😆😆. Awesome videos as always!
LOL I definitely wouldnt train downwards Dynos with you if we got to climb together again haha
Don’t let your weight drop to your shoulders then.
I actually cracked my shoulder watching this 🤣
This series is really good. I'm not even into climbing and I watched all of them.
agreed- good edit and a well written narrative. Keep em coming
SAME. He’s so good at telling the story of climbers through a unique lens
You guys should all try out climbing!! It’s so much harder than it looks, but it’s so incredibly fun and satisfying
The unintended downward dyno joke at the end cracked me up hahahahaha
Why do I love this channel? Because he gives context, history everything on the topic to show importance of beta break. I don't have to look anywhere else.
Ouch, that last clip was brutal! Great video as always!
These beta breaks give me so much knowledge on how to climb. The techniques you analyze, they’re amazing. Thanks
I'm a new climber but I love watching these difficult problems solved by beta breakers and creative climbers because it motivates me to keep trying and keep at it. If there's a will there's a way.
THANK YOU for actually showing the full attempt on the problem when you focus on it, it’s so much more pleasant than only getting to see a tiny clip that cuts off before i see the next move
i have never watched climbing before so naturally because of the youtube algorithm i will watch all your videos
Heck yes! Bless you!
I just love that final clip, how his excite and joy is contagious to his competitors.
I was just gonna say "I really appreciate the research and effort put into these videos and that they're great to watch." but I think other people have already said it. Still, can't hurt to hear it a few times. Great job, man!
"You can even hear an expletive because of how cheeky this beta is."
Hahaha
I’m a simple man - I see a beta break video and I click
Im glad you do this, finally getting serious in climbing so its good to see different styles. Ty
having had multiple shoulder dislocations this is so scary to watch
Yep
How did you dislocate your shoulder
Same here xD
@@letsprogress4124 it's an up and back motion that used to do it for me before having it pinned. Name the activity and there's a fair chance I popped a shoulder (funniest was going down on my girlfriend on new year's). I wouldn't and couldn't do this
@@letsprogress4124most recently, trying to catch myself w one arm when I was falling when climbing
Wowsers, just stumbled on your videos by accident. haha! i used to do climbing as a teenager as part of a scheme with my secondary school and loved it so much. i never went back though so these videos brought back a lot of memories. thanks!
Honestly i could watch Beta Break 16 hours a day!
Its hard not being able to go to a climbing gym and practice because of this virus going around but these videos help keep me into climbing and are just plain awesome! Seeing some of the best climbers in the world do things that I never thought was possible on a climbing wall reestablishes my love for climbing. Keep doing what your doing and thanks for this amazing series!
Beta Break is the best climbing content on RUclips
I was lucky to watch Jernej's first win live. I also realised this beta/rule break. Great vid, keep it up!
lmao that ending clip😂
Haha I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's actually his sister that's climbing so I'm sure they had a good laugh lol
this channel is underrated
I hope my gym eventually puts a route up that has a flying heel hook! That looks heaps cool!
As a Slovenian I knew we had some amazing climbers and I'm really happy that they are often mentioned in videos like these!
Great video and great pronunciation of the name!
1:33 me after sending a V3
Keep crushing dude😂
During lockdown I've been re-watching the IFSC worlcup finals and this one (Meringen 2018) is by far the most exciting one for men 🤩. Boulder n°2 was also amazing!
Your videos are so well put together! Really entertaining and high quality too. I’m always left inspired by the cool climbers you talk about too!
you deserve millions of subscribers.
i binge watched this series. Really enjoyable man
I like watching these videos, they're edited well and incredibly highlights the Beta breaks.
But personally I feel exhausted watching them climb I just feel weird my shoulders start to stiffen as if I'm the one hanging lmao.
Haha, I get sweaty watching them climb too
Best climbing videos on RUclips.
Keep the great work up!
can't wait for the bouldering gym to reopen and go there and just fall and fall again and again. awesome series man.
these beta break videos are fantastic. some of my favorite climbing vids
he seems so genuinely happy :D i love it! Awesome video like always!
Glad to have the outro back🤣🤣🤣
love every episode in this series!! Keep it up!! Awesome visuals, love the flow, and love the content even more!
This channel is awesome, lots of work in the production and it shows
This series is friggen fantastic! Love it
I love your Breaking the beta series. Great channel. Hopefully you have great success in the future
BLESS I'll try my best to keep it up!
Love your commentary man . "Keep crushing it".
Yet another awesome video! Loved the “liposuction” clip at the end. You must have a huge collection of videos to pull all these together! Great job!
I love these beta break videos
Reallyyyyy LOVE these beta break videos!
Òoooooooooouuuuuccccchhhhhhhh the last clip made me yell out in public!!!!!! Little warning next time muahahahaha
Hahaha, hopefully you didn't scream t2o loud!
@@AlbertOkay I did hahaha
I know it's not a beta break but my favourite bit of climbing is when he did the mental triple dyno in the legends only a couple of years ago
As a BJJ practitioner this is not the flying heel hook I was looking for but I am not disappointed
I love him and his climbing!
this serie is doooope
Another great beta break. Thank you!
Yes. We love Jernej!
I always wonder how athletes from old times would feel, seeing our modern champions, in all kinds of sports.
(and goes for today's champs, facing athletes from 50+ years from now in the future)
Climbing, boxing, swimming, whatever : the bar just feel like raising more and more through the years.

a flying heel hook?!?!!? what a mad man!
Whatever he did before the downwards dyno was almost more fascinating. How did he sort out his body there?
aw, that ending was so cute! xD
Just found your channel, Cool stuff!
I'm curious. What happened when the piece broke off of the lead route? Did he get a retry or does it count against him?
I’ll definitely try this sport after the pandemic.
Yay a new video!!
damn bro, homies hands must be CRYING for help with that downward dyno
I miss bouldering so much.
I enjoy your videos a whole lot, thank you!
Rofl, that last clip killed me
impressive man
Now i want to climb even more. And climbing gyms are still closed in Poland. crap
For a moment I thought by flying heel hook you were talking about a Heel Hook leg lock xD
That'd be literally the fastest way to accidentally tear someones shins in half
I’m going to be a v0 climber after all this, at least I’ll be able to small crimps.
That last downward dyno is how you get hurt. Be careful with those :)
Dude i love your videos!
Still waiting for the tomoa video
Saving it for a special day :)
plz make more beta breaks!!
I love your videos dude
Did you really have to end a nice video like that with a clip that will haunt my nightmares?
No matter how many times I see it ill never understand how they hold on to those holds like their hands are glue
6:20 that move scares me
So breaking a hold counts as fall? And is the mistake then climbers or builders?
I went and watched the video... It did not count as a fall, he got another go (didn't place high enough to go to the next round, though). The setters just went back up and screwed the hold back in. Jernej had an 11-minute rest before his 2nd run, as the rules specify 1 minute of rest per hold in in the case of a technical incident, and he had climbed 11 holds so far.
Nice videos, but you should consider using an de-esser on your mic audio.
What happened? What was the ground breaking moment? Please someone tell me the video time. I just saw men move around in a normal climbing way
Shoulders go "POP"
My hands are so sweaty
Great video as always! Just one thing keeps irritating me. It comes across a bit condescending to me when you start the video with "I am *of course* talking about..." Most people probably don't even notice, though ^^
Gotchu on the next video :)
I wanna try this but I know for a fact that I don't have nearly enough upper body strength
Who’s here after following the series?
Ayy thanks :)

Can u do Philip Comargo
Oh this channel is going to be a rabbit hole... but at least I know how to get out at the end.
Chad Jernej Kruder vs virgin beta
Is this the guy that had hand haircut on his head
I love this video
Ubbe Ragnarson, is that you?
Its all because he is 007
What does beta breaking mean?
What does beta mean? I’m sure not like 2nd or a video game but idk. I get the meaning. Not intended by the designer.
Beta is the "intended" sequence of movements. To find an alternate, easier, sequence is referred to as having broken the beta.
