CHANGE YOUR BETA! - my process on Ammagamma V13 - Beta breakdown

[@loganhaddox6808]

Yes more beta and geeky microbeta discussion! Love this stuff.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Done! Psyched you like it :)

[@loganhaddox6808]

@@TomOHalloranAus Loved it! You're putting out some of my favorite climbing content, super real and captures the nuance/essence of climbing

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Haha thanks Logan :). I appreciate it

[@haywardab]

If you’ve been climbing for any length of time I think you know that feeling you describe when using Nori’s footer. When the new beta makes it all just ‘click’ into place. Such a great feeling!

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Haha yep, it's the best. That moment when the clouds depart and you can see it haha!

[@leomao10]

Interesting, I always use the top one and it never feel right, might try the lower foothold next time I get there

[@TomOHalloranAus]

It could be a total game changer for you as well. Have fun with it! Let me know how it goes :)

[@adamhaas141]

Love your channel, man.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Psyched you like it Adam 😀

@@TomOHalloranAus "Ammagamma breta beta break"? That is hard to say three times fast. I can sorta do it know, but I had to project it.😆

[@pablogallegos24]

I really really love your videos. They are very peaceful and they give a sort-of graceful perspective of bouldering. I've only been climbing for about 8-9 months and climb V8-9, but this sport truly feels special to me in a way I cannot convey. I love how you convey your similar perspective of the sport and it's mystically. Thanks and please keep up the work!

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Thanks, im psyched you're enjoying the vids. Climbing is such an incredible thing to do, enjoy your journey with it :)

[@raymondfoo9045]

You are so strong to reach that level with just 8-9 months. About the same for me, but I am only a V4 climber. Any tips for me?

[@pablogallegos24]

@@raymondfoo9045 Unfortunately I don't even know... I climb religiously, like 5+ days a week and I just can't get enough. I love to project and focus a ton of energy into bouldering. I'm pretty young at 18, and just take all the time I want for bouldering. It's an obsession that I make a priority. Best tip I think I can give is to believe in yourself and get psyched!

[@bilbobaggans8398]

Yep done the foot beta lots. I learnt from the fact that using a smaller foothold that actually gives u a better body position quite often is easier than using a bigger foothold that's more awkward or harder. Just requires good body tension to ram that foot hard into the smaller foothold, which is a good skill to have in your bag

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Yep, better position is almost always better than better foothold

[@Jackwithoneeye]

I definitely enjoy these videos that go into the story and process rather than just a vid of the send with no context.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

awesome, glad you liked it :)

[@kingrichardi6089]

this boulder is beautiful ! thanks for this awesome breakdown

[@TomOHalloranAus]

it's totally incredible :)

[@SpartaSpartan117]

A winner for sure Tom!

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Thanks 😀. Glad you enjoyed

[@bshann]

Super fascinating to live vicariously through your breakdown of an icon I’ll never get close to :) I find your vids insightful keep it up mate

[@TomOHalloranAus]

glad you liked it. small steps, I never thought i'd be able to do it either :)

[@tristanteo2335]

It’s a winner

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Sweet! Thanks :)

[@AnusBonobonus]

Winner? Yes.

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Haha sweet! Glad you like it :)

[@yuval1302]

It's interesting how something can feel so unworkable, until you fully commit to it, then it's amazing. Great stuff as always, man. Keep 'em coming!

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Yep, big lesson to not write it off until you've given it some effort

[@samlfarrar]

really cool video Tom, I loved how the foot change was all it took for it to click

[@TomOHalloranAus]

Cheers man. Yeah just a small adjustment can change everything!

[@joolsgrommers1466]

Winner!!! Do good again mate! Psyched, not I just need to get good enough to try the thing… 😅

[@TomOHalloranAus]

It's an incredible piece of climbing to spend time on. It'd be worth the effort :)

[@herebeapear_3949]

I’m just confused on how climbers get down from boulders like that, even if there is a easy down climb side

[@TomOHalloranAus]

This is definitely a trickier one to get off compared to others. Many you can find an easy down climb or even walk off the back. On this, you down climb the mantle slab thing and jump off. Or down climb a 10m high easy section of climb (sketchy)
