About beta
Beta is a climbing term that designates information about how to ascend a climbing route (e.g. "grab hold of the flake on left while moving the right foot onto the edge on the right"). Traditionally sourced in climbing guidebooks, online databases and apps now provide very detailed climbing beta (e.g. videos of climbers completing the route). The term is attributed to Texan climber Jack Mileski.
