Broken Crimp

Guides

Make a PDF or a video of your beta

Take a beta out of the app, to print or to send to someone who does not have it. Each of these covers the beta you have open, so switch to the right one first.

Open the climb and choose Share… in the menu.

The Share sheet with PDF, Video, Text and Backup .beta file.

A PDF

Choose PDF for a deck with an overview of the climb and then one page per move. Swipe across to read through it before you make it. Press Share as PDF to hand it to another app, or to your printer.

Afterwards the page offers Share again and, on Android, Save to device to keep a copy.

The PDF's overview page, with arrows showing every move on the wall.
A PDF page for move 3 of 8, a body move named Layback, with the climber on the wall.
The finished PDF, with Share and Save to device buttons.

A video

Choose Video, and set up the clip:

Press Create video. It takes a moment, and at the end the page offers the same two buttons as the PDF. In a browser, keep the page in front while it works.

Each frame names the move underneath the climber, so the clip makes sense with no explanation.

The video options: shape, view, trim, speed and quality, with a Create video button.
A frame of a finished video, captioned Move 4 of 8, Right foot lets go.

Plain text

Choose Text for a list of the moves to paste into a message or a note, with Copy and Share buttons. Moves on a hold name that hold. Moves on the bare photo use arrows to show which way the hand or foot goes.

The Beta as text dialog listing the starting position and then numbered moves with arrows.
