VIDEO TRANSCRIPT / SUMMARY
Our co-founder and producer, Emile Modesitt, was recently in a life-changing motorcycle accident after being struck by a car whose driver was arrested on DUI charges. Emile has suffered severe, permanently altering injuries, including amputation of the left lower leg below the knee, that have required multiple surgeries and an extended stay in the ICU.
Without Emile, Hooper’s Beta simply wouldn't exist. He is the engine behind everything we do—handling the recording, editing, and production, and pouring countless hours into making our 160+ videos so impactful. He has spent years helping thousands of climbers train safely and navigate injury recovery. Now, he faces a long, difficult road of his own, navigating a completely new physical path forward.
