*** PART 3 — Be Sure to Watch Parts 1 & 2 ***

In this 3-part reel series, I break down the concept of “feel beta”—a term I coined many years ago to describe the internal, experiential sense of body positioning and movement. Unlike traditional “beta (handholds, footholds, sequence and body position...which you can observe from watching others), feel beta is only gained by getting on the wall, tuning into your body’s sensations, and FEELING the movement.` At the core of feel beta is proprioception—your body’s innate awareness of position and movement in space. 

While beginners can only sense the obvious feelings (like a foot slipping...or pumped forearms), experienced climbers develop a fine-tuned ability to sense balance, tension, contact quality, and flow. That’s what enables elite-level execution on hard routes and boulders. The ultimate goal? To become a complete climber—physically strong, technically sharp, mentally dialed, and highly efficient at moving over stone!

*** PART 1 of 3 ***
In this 3-part reel series, I break down the concept of “feel beta”—a term I coined many years ago to describe the internal, experiential sense of body positioning and movement flow. Unlike traditional beta (handholds, footholds, sequence and body position…which you can observe from other climbers), feel beta is only gained by getting on the wall, tuning into your body’s sensations and FEELING the movement.

At the core of feel beta is proprioception—your body’s innate awareness of position and movement in space. While beginners can only sense the obvious feelings (like a foot slipping…or  pumped forearms), experienced climbers develop a fine-tuned ability to sense balance, tension, contact quality, and flow. That’s what enables elite-level execution on hard routes and boulders.

In these reels, I emphasize the importance of:
🔹 Practicing movement correctly, ideally when fresh (not pumped or exhausted)
🔹 Using repetition and coaching to build accurate internal movement models
🔹 Climbing with efficiency, like a fuel-sipping Honda—not a gas-guzzling Buick

The ultimate goal? To become a complete climber—physically strong, technically sharp, mentally dialed, and highly efficient at moving over stone!

Everyone has heard about building their pyramid, but what does that actually look like on an person to person basis, and how do you balance this with projecting?
・・・
In the recent Road to the Pyramid chat with Coach @eric_horst, I was reminded of the importance of aerobic training even in the “off season”... the lack of which I’ve definitely been feeling as I try longer routes this spring.
