The term was coined by the late Gunks legend Jack Mileski, who could describe routes in extremely creative and vivid detail (he was an English teacher and writer), i.e., the next best thing to watching it on video. He started asking his partners, "Do you want the Betamax on that?" Pretty soon it got shortened to "beta" and the rest is history.
