  Andy's Beta Andy Liu, a staff member at Berkeley Iron, has put together an impressive tick list of climbs from Yosemite to Bishop to the local Mortar Rock climbs. The best part is that he's recorded the videos making them an excellent source for beta.

"I started recording and documenting my notable ascents about a year ago when I started to climb more outside. I was mostly a gym climber before that." -Andy

See more of Andy's videos on his Youtube site. Just be careful watching him- he's strong and makes stuff look easier than it is!
