Breaking Beta | The Science of Climbing


Hosted by Kris Hampton and Paul Corsaro, Breaking Beta began in December of 2021 and aims to make science both fun and more easily applicable for coaches and athletes. Each week during a season, Paul and Kris look at a paper that is often cited - and maybe more often misinterpreted - and discuss the methods, the findings, and whether or not it’s actually applicable to climbing.

Using soundbytes from the hit show Breaking Bad, these guys are bringing wit, sarcasm and just plain FUN into an otherwise often dry subject matter.

Breaking Beta is brought to you by Power Company Climbing and Crux Conditioning.
