FirstPersonBeta

I’m a guy that loves climbing rocks (and usually the hard way)!

This project, “First Person Beta”, aims to deliver the climbing adventure as close to a human perspective as I can perform. I place a large value on the raw experience. This kind of footage has offered me technical beta, kept the psyche high and (maybe most importantly for myself) made the seemingly daunting accessible and possible. Simply put, this kind of footage has expanded my climbing universe.

I hope you can take away just as much!
