7:07 as a new trad leader, the guy who taught me trad emphasized an idea: if you're 5.5ft tall, and your feet are at your last piece, then if you fall, you're going 11 ft + a couple feet of slack + rope stretch + lifting your partner + the possibility of a piece popping. So until you're 20ft+ off the ground, if you're new: sew it up.
Hearing the story behind the first one makes it even worse, dude was brand new to trad and decided to hop on a 12a, and was pulling on that piece to take. All just so bad. Congrats on 50k!
this is in squamish and i just really doubt that there wasnt more opp to place gear. he’s an ER doc so i’m assuming the belayer was assessed on the spot… lol
helllooooo i’m the belayer at 3:20 lol. i’m used to almost always being lighter than my climber so i was expecting a much bigger fall. ohm definitely did its job cause i only lifted about an inch off the ground, causing me to slip forward and my feet couldn’t hit the wall in time to stop it lol (probably too far from the wall) brake hand never left tho 🤓
I got to say this is one of my favorite RUclips channels concerning Climbing! I’m what do you call one level below Gumby? I’m not sure what that is? But whenever I watch one of your shows, I always feel like I got to get out and practice. When I started flying decades ago, I watched the same sort of content (of course it was in written form),back then. But I think it’s immensely important to learn from other peoples mistakes. As a matter of fact, I heard that’s the definition of experience, recognizing a mistake the second time someone else does it. A little constructive criticism I would enjoy longer Clips. I don’t know if that’s intentional, leaving us to want more or it’s a time thing for you, but I do find your comments, respectful and informative and I hope you keep doing it for a long time. Stay safe! RC
Hey man, I don't know if you remember me, but I was around when you hit 2K subs, so good to see you're always growing, you taught me all of my rope skills, really useful videos thank you so much and congrats on 50K
@@olivercollard8767 thanks, much appreciated my summer work season is coming to an end so I’m hoping to start cranking out more weekly content soon. 🫡 thanks for the motivation!
is the chalk is aid rare tho? I only use it outside because I feel it destroys my hands. I never use it inside. I usually climb 2-3 times a week inside and 1 outside
The fail at 5:10 is a good reminder to not grab the rope as you're falling. If the climber was paying attention to his feet and had his hands available to push off the wall they would've been able to lessen the impact on the ledge, if not avoid it completely.
There weren’t any fails videos for a while so I assumed climbers had all learned their lessons and were no longer failing. Thankfully not

I look forward to these BetaClimber drops more than Mellow. Keep up the good work man!
Honey, new climbing fails just dropped!
Excited for the new video! Will check it out with my family later today 🙂
Love that intro jingle.

You know it's a good whipper when your belayer decks
Do you know what condition the belayer was in from the impact?

Another great video! Props to the backdrop 👌

Quality entertainment as always. It almost sounds like I'm listening to pro rock climber Tim Robinson.

Missed this series 🎉
The deadly on the title was almost a deterrent for me to watch it. Glad it wasn't the case
yeah, pls no clickbait in the future.
6:00 is the guy using belay glasses WITH A HAT?
Yo, @BetaClimbers ! I just talked to Tommy, he said no more clickbait ✋
Gratz on the sub milestone broski!
My recommendation “place more bomber gear 🤣”
Reviewing climbing fails seems to have good job security
Did the belayer in the gym have a really loose harness?
Yes, it looks like his leg loops are hanging low, this makes the inversion more likely
04:30 Another issue is the harness is too loose. You shouldn't get pulled upside down that easily with proper fitted harness.
Crazy how good modern gear is and people still out here blowing pieces
I love learning 👍
A crash pad wouldn't have hurt on that first one.
Lol that intro 😂😂
YES
Damn Momentum Katy representing again at 3:20 belayer is standing too far from the wall with the climber that short of a way up.
10:35 You could say the catch was very... successFAIL!
I'll see myself out.
@@Johnny_Cash_Flow 🤣
Yay a new video!!
I like that shirt
You and I have a different definition of deadly.
Why i m not in this video 😂
EXCITING

and then there is people commenting like "OMG why does xyz not grab the rope". Grabbing the rope when falling is a really baaaaad idea.
Also that was a very high clip. Climber should have said something. 7:00
I’ve missed that intro
Was so ready for another climbing fail. Hey is that Logie Head (north east Scotland) @7:07?
yesssssss
Clip # 1: place a cluster before the cruz, or before a section with bad gear.
Wasn’t the recommendation: “just don’t fall”?
hey dude, new to climbing - what's an ass hat? 4:06 . Seems technical
@@charlesbrands4853 🤣 it’s when you end up wearing your leaders ass on your head
@@BetaClimbers Oh, so kind of like jamming your dome into a thin crack between two slopers? Sounds rad! Hopefully get to try this sometime!
@@charlesbrands4853 😂😂😂
Back to the church
Dude you need to check on your brother there behind you. The whole video he never moved.
W000t
9:56 buddy on the ground is not responsible and damn guilty
Thinking the same thing. That guy would not be my friend after something like that,
