A shared language for mapping climbing in space and time.
Learn how Betabace represents routes, turns scans into 3D models, connects movement as 4D beta and gives every meaningful contribution a traceable history.
Start with the mental modelOne climb, many contributions
Route facts, scans, models, beta and corrections keep their own provenance.
Built at the crag
Climbers turn real rock into useful spatial knowledge through careful capture.
Trust is earned
Accreditation unlocks responsibility; it never replaces evidence or review.
Value can be rewarded
Original, useful work may earn rewards without granting ownership of a route.
