Prior knowledge of a route, for example having watched someone do the moves, or having heard them describe the climb, is called beta. This term likely comes from showing Betamax videos of someone making a climb to potential climbers of the same route. A successful ascent with beta on the first attempt is called a beta flash. A successful attempt after falling off or otherwise trying the route is a Red Point . In some parts of the world, on-sight climbing is the preferred style for many climbers. It is a form of Adventure Climbing emphasizing the skills of route finding, quick thinking and problem solving. |
