I was fortunate enough to watch this in person and WOW the crowd was insane. All the climbers from south america were so friendly and worked so hard - I really just had to feature Danny since they were all so friendly!
So glad you featured an Ecuadorian climber! I got to train with a team for a bit when I went to visit my family and there’s some strong kids down there!
Never thought I'd be binge watching a series on climbing haha, great content, great commentary. Really fascinating and interesting. Thanks for your uploads
I know this is old but I just wanted to tell you Albert that I really love how positive and appreciative you are about all the climbers you talk about! :)
That was insane to watch! Especially with a growd like this... I noticed you got two comments from a channel named "Tom" under your video. It's a comment bot for gaining subs on a second channel. You can block it so that it eventually gets banned by TH-cam.
I was in the crowd and experiencing the moment, too. 🤩 So rad to watch the literal pocket power. 💪 Absolutely agree - do it your way and do your best. Thank you for the terminology education-would of never known it. Great vid as always. 🙏
He's too short = not enough reach which is quite the limitation forcing him to be more dynamic. Still he manages to compensate with some seriously flexible moves and guts.
This is funny because my good close friend Arantza Fernandez Gutierrez went to the pan Americans this year and she is friends with Danny, and the guy at 0:45 is from Mexico and we are good friends
I came to this video to comment and ask if you had talked about the "ghost match" (sick name) that Kai Harada did in that competition. And there it is at 1:07! Gotta look back in the channel I'm sure you covered it.
Yes! Technically the audience could tell them, but if someone did tell them what to do in the audience it would be considered cheating and serious action would be taken place probably disqualifying the athlete and getting the audience member kicked out. Usually people don't say anything for integrity
I’m not exactly sure about the history of the Houdini match or ghost match, but a very similar move was done by my coach Shane Puccio when he competed that he called the Houdini swap or something like that. It’s when your sequence is wrong and you take both hands and switch them at the same time. I just thought it was interesting because of the similar names.
Whoa! Shane? You climbed at canyons? Nice man... I bet you're really strong!!! It sounds like the same concept, I bet he was referring to the same thing. Awesome that you got to be coached by a beast!
Albert Ok wow awesome you know my gym, they helped me a lot. In my first month of being coached I went from v5 to 7. You’re videos really help me understand movement and problem solving. Hope the best for your channel and future
Holy crap! You should be really proud of your quick progression! I would climb there every now and then during my time in Dallas! Great gym with STRONG climbers
What I remember from early on when I started watching bouldering regarding doing things your own way is comparing Megan Mascarenas to everyone else, especially Alex Puccio. I was really impressed how often Megan was able to static what others would dyno, or just do it in a more relaxed looking way. I don't know that much, but I'm thinking there's little in the way of dynamic moves in actual rock climbing. Imagine free climbing 1000 feet up and jumping to a hold. Nah.
I actually just made a video half serious half joking on how to hangboard from your door frame, but if you have a hangboard the best thing is to do repeaters (7 sec on 3 sec off) for 6 reps and 6-9 sets. Using different lock off positions is really helpful since allot of grip strength comes from your lockoff strength too!
This route was really frustrating to watch, because the speed climbers had no chance, and one of them clearly injured their tendons while attempting the pocket moves.
Hey the Beta Break series is awesome and I'm subscribed, but gotta say what Danny did here seems like a good "How NOT to climb" demonstration. Yes, he's displaying impressive raw strength, but he hasn't done the problem (at least in this video), and frankly, as the author said, I'd be surprised if he hasn't shot his finger strength for the whole of the competition. You can tell just how much more graceful and efficient are the guys doing the Figure 4 beta. Not to mention he's super small and seems light. Overall, IMO it seems like nobody of average build and climbing skill should ever be attempting an overhanging mono houdini swap, and it's just common sense.
Nice effort on his part, but not really a beta break - it left him too tanked to keep going. It's kinda like saying Usain Bolt had the fastest pace in a marathon, but didn't finish it...
My Tendons just ripped from watching 😅
Yep, I pretty much felt it hurting immediately…
These beta break videos are so entertaining. Please keep them coming!
NEED THEM
Totally addicted
I popped a pulley watching this.
That was awesome! Love the context you give to these clips. It really makes me understand why it is so special.
I was fortunate enough to watch this in person and WOW the crowd was insane. All the climbers from south america were so friendly and worked so hard - I really just had to feature Danny since they were all so friendly!
Beta break series is some of the best climbing content on youtube. Ya gonna be a star, Albert. Thank you for these.
Awesome video as always, Albert! Thanks again for the invitation so I got to see this beta break in person!

Perfect post to wake up to in the morning! My middle fingers hurt watching this..
Great work dude!
He now holds onto my heart with only 2 fingers aswell!
That was insane to watch! Especially with a growd like this...

Oh dang, thanks for the heads up! Haha - still new to this youtube thing. :)
The XimerTracks one is also a bot.

That conclusion was wholesome af ♥️
Amazing stuff like usual! bonus points for magnus :P
I love the way you break down the moves and significance prior to the video. It really sets the scene! Great breakdown as always!
First time I hear about figure four without mention of ice climbing, which is nice!
Love your videos keep it up! Can't wait for this quarantine to be over and the gyms to open up again
Thanks pianofinger - when we all rush to the gyms we're going to be so strong from the at home training. Can't wait until they reopen!
I never climbed a wall but I keep watching those beta brakes, insane strength and skill drops my jaw every time.
This channel deserves 1million
Every one of Albert’s videos is insanely good
Agreeeeed he's so good
I'm glad to see you're making more of this series! Keep it up!
I winced so hard on behalf of his tendons 😱
I love these videos, they are hands
down my favourite climbing videos!
That's freaking impressive!
this is shuch an adicting formula for a video. good job, and good info!
I am not a climber but I really enjoy watching these videos.
Love your beta break Videos. Ceep it going :)
I will! Thanks for watching!
The training board in the intro was in my gym! Cliffhangers Mooresville!
He's too short = not enough reach which is quite the limitation forcing him to be more dynamic. Still he manages to compensate with some seriously flexible moves and guts.
Omg I just saw Zach Galla in this video and he's on my climbing team🤯that's so cool
Why didn't TH-cam recommend this channel to me before? It's incredibly good channel, I subscribe, good job Albert.
My hands sweat while watching that!!!!! wishing I was in the crowd to cheer !!!
I really like the beta break series
This is funny because my good close friend Arantza Fernandez Gutierrez went to the pan Americans this year and she is friends with Danny, and the guy at 0:45 is from Mexico and we are good friends
Just can confirm, great content and excellent voice & footage. Very professional
Probs my favourite climbing channel
I love these beta break videos. So wholesome ❤️
Great video man! You deserve way more subs than you have!
Thanks Ryan! Subs are nice, but I really just enjoy making videos and can't wait to make my next video already! Thanks for the comment support :)
Very impressive!

You do a great job making these videos! Fantastically interesting!
NIce video, can't wait for more !
Episodes of Beta Break every other week, and other climbing videos on the off weeks so stay tuned!
Really good content! Great work man :)
Awesome video, love the inspiration!
I came to this video to comment and ask if you had talked about the "ghost match" (sick name) that Kai Harada did in that competition. And there it is at 1:07! Gotta look back in the channel I'm sure you covered it.
I love this series.
I love beta break episodes because I always learn something. And it highlights the amazing spirit climbers have
Edit: spelling mistake
We need more beta break
Woah your audio quality has improved! Keep it up
Love this shit! Thanks again for a wonderful break :)
Aye!! It's Rosscreations!!! Love that guy
awesome series! you have my sub!
Please keep doing these videos!!!
Ross at the beginning cought me off guard lol
Honestly his beta was the most impressive and shows how strong he is. Also the Brazilian climber César popped his pulley on this problem
best series out there !
Awesome video, it wasn’t long enough 😄
:):):) I gotchu on the next one
So the climbers are not meant to know what the previous climbers did? What if someone in the audience tells them?
Yes! Technically the audience could tell them, but if someone did tell them what to do in the audience it would be considered cheating and serious action would be taken place probably disqualifying the athlete and getting the audience member kicked out. Usually people don't say anything for integrity
My finger hurts watching him matching those holds.
great video, informative. subbed
I was kinda caught off guard when ross creations showed up ;D
HOTDOG
This video gave me tendinitis
You should look into Zander wallers two finger pocket swap.
Awesome work!! :D
I’m not exactly sure about the history of the Houdini match or ghost match, but a very similar move was done by my coach Shane Puccio when he competed that he called the Houdini swap or something like that.

Holy crap! You should be really proud of your quick progression! I would climb there every now and then during my time in Dallas! Great gym with STRONG climbers
Best climbing channel on TH-cam👍.
A video about Jakob schubert would be nice.
100% Going to make one on him in the future. He's such a BEAST!!!!
@@AlbertOkay he is an *austrian death machine*
LOL YES
Una máquina Danny! Machine 💪💪
I broke my pulley just watching it
Okay, That was insane
I broke my fingers while watching this
Oh no!
What I remember from early on when I started watching bouldering regarding doing things your own way is comparing Megan Mascarenas to everyone else, especially Alex Puccio.

My jaw dropped to the floor
Magic!
0:45 OMG that technique
Your girlfriend will love it
One Commentator wasn't impressed. using strength to give the crowd a dynamic show was a great call
I like my style but my elbows wont agree
sorry for my question, which I've always wanted to ask. Albert, are you OK?
any tips on how to practice grip strength while in quarantine??
I actually just made a video half serious half joking on how to hangboard from your door frame, but if you have a hangboard the best thing is to do repeaters (7 sec on 3 sec off) for 6 reps and 6-9 sets. Using different lock off positions is really helpful since allot of grip strength comes from your lockoff strength too!
While the commentators criticize his climbing the whole time. Really classy. I'd rather just hear the crowd.
That's what she said
I did something similiar once and injured myself. Couldn't climb for a month. Please dont try this at home.
Why did you stop making beta break videos?
Basically working harder not smarter
To each it's own!
the rossvlogs clip hehe
Lol nice vlogcreations clip

So did he top the boulder?
wasn't this particular beta break simply a consequence of not planning the route from down to top ? ;)
He did what with two fingers?
Imagine getting pinched by these people
Ouch!
720p?
Nice effort on his part, but not really a beta break - it left him too tanked to keep going. It's kinda like saying Usain Bolt had the fastest pace in a marathon, but didn't finish it...
Sender one LAX rep
Beta break, someone wore a different color shirt
Yep
he is gonna have the worst arthrithis at 50
I love these videos, but I think in this case, the beta broke Danny.
Yeah hha, I talked to him and he's doing fine though! Climbing hard 5.14s right now!
