As an aging climber myself, this video gives me hope.

Hey Albert, you should do an episode on Ai Mori, being quite a bit shorter than most female climbers on the pro circuit, she finds some ridiculous way of getting around her lack of span.

A big inspiration to all who want to start climbing seriously but feel like they’re a little too late to the climbing scene. Great video as always !!

Rubtsov just won a Russian National Climbing Combined Championship few days ago. He's definitely in amazing form for his age.

This GOAT just won an Olympic ticket!

Still always the best series in climbing. Russian names are super hard to pronounce, I appreciate the effort you put in regardless!

This gives me comfort because I'm 24 and I'm planning to start climbing this year.

Wow I’m starting at 28 and I’m so excited ! So inspirational!

The Dock Masters boulder is at my local gym, Energiehaven in Utrecht (The Netherlands). Pretty cool to see such awesome strength and beta breaks in my local gym.

Dude your beta break videos are so legit! The amount of work that goes into them really shows. When the hell do you sleep!?

Sees a new episode of Beta Break. Me: “ is it Christmas already?”

Dude, Just when I thought i coudn't love this channel more you pull a Mutombo! DAMN! my two favourite sports combined. I'm hyped hahahah

just wanted to let you know that this was really inspirational and hit me. I started climbing at 17 and have been climbing for about a year. I've been really ambitious about it and climbed my first V8 boulder and 5.12+ recently. A long road to go but hard work is paying off. Love these videos

Love this vid! The first minute was definitely motivating...been waiting for a vid like this in the climbing community. Some next video suggestions just for fun: 1) Colin Duffy and 2) the world behind route setting and route setters

These intros are soo well thought out lol. Extraordinary content.

Honestly this dude is my inspiration!!! I started late 15 and am really hoping to make it somewhere with climbing (as in send hard routes, not necessarily comp climbing) Keep up the unbeatable content!

Your videos are great Albert, they're a fantastic way of celebrating how different climbers all have something exciting and novel to bring to the sport. As climbing goes to the Olympics and grows in popularity there'll always be that mentality of "who's the best, who's the best" coming in, but what I love about climbing is how different everyone is and how it's really the person against the problem or the wall. Your videos really show that well and are great to watch!

I love your videos dude, such climbing experience and knowledge in like 15 minutes

I love watching your videos, the content is fascinating and the narration is great and really accessible to new climbers trying to learn. Thank you and keep them coming!

Just got into the Beta Break series and it's amazing! Thanks for the quality content! Keeeep em coming :)

Great videos dude. Keep 'em coming!

Always a special day, when a new beta break video comes out. 😃

This makes me feel better as I started this year at the age of 13 and I thought that was old. I've now been rope climbing for about 2 months and my hardest (topped) climb was 5a+!

I don’t like liquid chalk because after I put it on my hands it Rubstov. 😂

My favourite climbing series! More, please?

He's very talented at finding the proper balance

Damn, that glance at the end of unsolved problems.. So familiar to me. Like when your brain disagree with your body on why you have to stop here and now, and got to abandon the problem due to the queue, or time, or fatigue, or injury or whatever else. Have a good luck, Alexey

awesome video! :)

it’s 3:12 am and i just saw this video show up, i don’t regret a thing

Yeah never been a climber but I lost my swimming career to a nasty shoulder injury that unfortunately likely never would have let me go back, especially to the level I was before. It changed me as a person and I've never felt the same again, no matter how many times I tried to get back into it even a little I just cant. Not being able to swim to any level close to before killed me. Props to this guy for succeeding afterwards.

Every time I think Beata Brake is getting old there is another video to prove me rong! Great vid

I love to see an old skool climber break some parkour beta! Done it myself at local comps (being 187cm with +ve ape index helps with that)

Awesome video homie

Fucked up sleep schedule squad!

Yes! New episooode!!!

If we are talking about russian strength, please make an episode about Rustam Gelmanov! pretty sure he has done some absurd Beta Breaks over the years!

Wow!

Just started climbing at 30! Video gave me good vibes haha not planning to win any world championships though.

There's hope for me :) I'm so in love with this sport, I would honestly love to become a professional climber. Dreams...

God, I'm just a hold washer for a local gym but this is so interesting I dont climb myself but I'd like to get into it at some point

I always feel way too old to be climbing, started at 20 (now 21 lol) so its reassuring to hear about people who habe started even later than myself

I went to the 2019 Dockmasters competition. too bad I couldn't make it to the one this year to witness this incredible beta break! Anyways Energiehaven is a pretty cool gym and the people there are really nice. Would definetly recommend for a visit! Edit: I saw Alexsey in a competition in one of my home gyms Blockhelden and he is crazy strong! He was the only one to top one final boulder with a relly unique solution when I remember correctly!

Well I'm starting climbing at age 22, so I hope I can get somewhere too! :-D

I remember watching the dock masters live, so epic!

I didn't find sports until I was nearly 30. I was pretty overweight at the time (200 pounds compared to my current 145). I earned my pro mountain bike license about 10 years later. While I'm still one of the slower "pros", I still out there. Not too late to start anything.

Met him in magic woods when he flashed a 8a+ whilst asking for the beta as he went... monster

As a bigger guy getting into climbing i have to find my own little ways to get around my weight, my bigger belly hinders me in my leg movement espacually while placing it high or a matching start with foots and hands in the same problem, but i developed my little tricks to get around. Also i try to get rid of some fat. :)

Incredible video, as always ! All these beta breaks are really inspiring. I wanna be a beta breaker 😆. Do you think you're gonna do a video on the french climbing style ? It could be interesting

I get triceps tendonitis easily, so I'm careful to do things as statically as possible, plus I just prefer to climb that way. The other day I broke the beta on a V4 dyno problem down to V2 done statically (but reachy). It was so satisfying.

Interesting how you started out the video.

the gym owner I am a usual at is over 60 and still climbs some stupidly hard things. Outdoors aswell as indoors :P

Epic video and always relatable in so many ways to life. Hard work, creativity and beta break. 👈 Since everything in climbing is subjective, it’s like trying to define happiness or success? Climbing for me is a mechanism to problem solve myself so I am at peace within to deal with the chaos around me. Having started climbing at 46, now 52, it’s not about a grade, but skills learned that help me to continuously improve at my pace with a community of support. The reality is majority of recreational climbers, like myself, won’t get sponsored or endorsements-so why climb? Like the infamous saying in The Matrix: “because I choose to”. Or didn’t Warren Harding (climber) say something iconic at El Cap about “why”? These is no why. 🤷‍♂️😝

2:19 That's my local gym :)

yea, i totally know how bad it is to get injured doing sports. my left shoulder will never be the same after that snowboarding accident and i struggle from time to time in regular life after straining it for a little bit too long. last summer was the worst one without a doubt. i was working at a building site and was pulling a hose which was used to fill poles with concrete. first day went by and resulted in bad pain in my shoulder, second day went past and little less than 2 hours before the day was over (12.5 hour days) did i have to tell the foreman that i can't keep doing this the last 2 hours and the day after that was the pain so bad that i was on strong pain medication and wasn't able to lift my hand over waste level when my arm was straight. luckily did i help some divers that day to pick up some poles which had fallen into the docks. so yea, a bad injury is nothing to just laugh off.

My left hand is now missing

Hard hard work is a must.. but talent/genetics is too

@1:50. Well shit. I’m breaking beta. 52 yrs old and I’m more comfortable dyno-ing; skipping holds. Of course, it shows. You should see the amount of tape I go thru, LOL! It’s a good addiction though…

I don’t even climb, and I love these beta break videos

everyones saying starting at 17/18 is a late start ! I decided to really start last year and been climbing just over 12 months at 25 now haha - never too late. Mind over matter!

nice job with Alexei family name Alebrt

What was the name of the 48 year old climber that sent V16? That's so inspirational. Akita...?

*Fred Rouhling - Akira 9b*

I love Dikembe Mutombo

6:44 is a shoulder break

Started at 24. My long term goal is V10 and/or 5.13a by the time I'm 30

17,,, late,,, I'm 20 and just starting out... Dang

i know its not about this video specifically, but whats the intro beat? is it a song or just a loop? and who is it by? can i find it on soundcloud or somewhere`?

Ох уж эти Рубстовы

I'm a new climber but I climb old school

How long gas ge been climbing?

4:54 that is strength

does alexsey have some kind of gymnastics background before he started climbing?

I wander, why noone wrote it. He is not RubSTov, he is RubTSov, "TS", like in wort "cent". Even in russian there are no such bad names ))) rubSTov is hard to say) even 2:48 you can see it.

oh he's from Russia that explains it

Real life nathan drake lmao

Me, almost 17: 😳

Personal opinion: I think you should have two channels, one with these kind of series, and the other one for directs and smaller videos. For me all the directs are too present in my feed, which is a bit annoying. With these series only I think your channel could grow bigger. In any case, another nice beta break video! thanks

Genetics plus training and nutrition.

Pretty sure it's Rubtsov not Rubstov

what's the name of the climber in minute 00:50?

the two dislikes is the beta sad it got broken

As a video essay, I feel like this video lacks focus. The intro is entertaining, but ultimately irrelevant to the rest of the video. The conclusion drawn, that you can start late and still be good, is not mentioned at all in the body of the video. By the time you mentioned it in the conclusion, I had forgotten that that's what the video was about. It feels like this video was just a showcase of how someone can static their way through dynamic boulders, which is completely fine, but the video is framed as something else.

its anna stöhr btw

How can you say he is learning late at age 17. At age 17 everything you do, you are learning.

Dude it's rubTSov, (not rubestuff)

Bouldering while 4-6 feet off the ground? Everyone is more dynamic. 30-50 feet, different story.

1:18 Ok the pronunciation at least matches the written name, but both are wrong. Pro tip: Just copy and paste it from wikipedia. ;)

So is he RubTSov or RubSTov? My gut would say the first ine is correct

The Australian commentator in that last video was a bit annoying for a commentator

Impossible strength from a Russian athlete... hmmm Joke :))

10 minutes about Alexsey Rubstov breaking new school dynamic boulders, and you didn't even mention Meiringen 2018 🙄

Nice video, but your intros are always a bit weird. "This Basketballer has iconic finger wag. He started his career at an relatively old age. There are also climbers who started at an old age. But the guy we are talking about today is not one of them ..." Like, what?

You pronounce Alexeys surname incorrectly through whole video.. Big sad
