Is there any citation for the origin of the word 'beta'? I've heard this many times, but I have to admit that it sounds like folk etymology to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.37.209.182 (talk) 10:45, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
Extended narrative is delightful and oh-so-not Wikipedia format
I have to say I love the extended narrative from someone close to the original source of the term beta. And from a personal perspective, it's valuable and I wish it would stay on Wikipedia forever. However, unless that's been published in a climbing magazine and can be cited/quoted legally, it probably needs to be moved to the talk page (please editors, don't just delete it! Copy it to the talk page as a favor to humanity..) Stevemidgley (talk) 23:38, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
