Daniel Beall

Dan was introduced to climbing by his father during his freshman year of high school. His initial fear of heights and general lack of athleticism made rock climbing a little daunting, but something about it had him hooked. The glory of the great outdoors, and the deep camaraderie that the climbing community fosters has kept Dan coming back for nearly 20 years. Over time, hard beautiful lines and challenging competitions have inspired him to develop a relentless training regimen and the stubborn personality that he's relied on for his greatest successes. Dan's style and sense of aesthetic has been largely influenced by the Buttermilks of Bishop, CA. He thrives on technical crimp climbs and is drawn to taller lines. Amongst an extensive tick list of world class boulders, some of Dan's proudest sends include The Outer Gates (v15/16), Eyes of Eternity (v13), and Tiers of Uncertainty (v12 solo) at The Buttermilks, as well as Hueco's seldom repeated Terremer (v15). Dan also recently completed authoring the new Bishop bouldering digital app based guidebook by Kaya Climbing. Most of all, Dan strives to improve and to push his own idea of what is possible.
