Starting as a new hobby at the beginning of college, rock climbing quickly turned into an obsession for Emile. When he met Jason, he knew he had to combine his love of scaling rocks with his technical background in film production and design to help meet the climbing community's need for quality training and injury recovery resources. Emile's hyperactive creativity ended up being the perfect match to Jason's dependable pragmatism, thus helping launch a YouTube channel (and eventual business) that balances education with entertainment.

Spending every weekend camping in his parents' VW Vanagon or skiing in the Sierra’s, Jason’s passion for the outdoors was deeply instilled in him at a young age. He also knew since the 7th grade that he wanted to do something where he could help people and work with the human body. Whether its further education and research as a PT or new training techniques for climbing, Jason's goal is always to improve. He doesn't claim to have all the answers, but with the help of science and experience he knows he can be a positive influence in the community.

Dan has been climbing for 20 years and coaching since 2010. He climbed his first V15 over a decade ago and has competed at an international level, cutting his teeth amidst the immense beauty of the Buttermilks boulders in Bishop, CA. His immeasurable love of climbing, encyclopedic knowledge of training methodology, and proclivity for engaging complete strangers in enlightening conversations made him the perfect fit for the Hooper's Beta team after a chance encounter with Emile and Jason at Black Mountain in 2020.
