Definition of SprayBeta ​
Spoiling the puzzle of Beta.

Why not SprayBeta? ​
SprayBeta is like spoiling the plot of a movie or solving someone's puzzle. Part of the fun of Climbing is problem solving, so when someone sprays Beta they are reducing the potential fun that a Climber can have while trying a Route.
Sometimes the sprayed Beta isn't even useful.
Spray Range ​
Beta can be sprayed from one Climber to another in a normal speaking volume or Beta can be sprayed over a larger range when it is yelled at a Climber who is on the wall.
Can you SprayBeta by Miming? ​
