One of the best place to climb in Oregon, even though it's in Washington.

I met Jeff Yoder while climbing Beacon Rock one day. Nice guy.

nice climb

was this a 5.10a or 5.12-

Thanks. I french-freed it the video (my first attempt), so I estimated it was about 5.10, C1 (free moves around 5.10 plus some easy gear pulling, i.e., clean aid climbing). Once I cleaned the route and put in the anchor, I free climbed itat 5.12- or so. As far as I know, it still needs a second ascent.

What piece popped?

[ORClimber]

#2 C4 in a flaring crack near my waist. There's a better placement higher that I missed on the first go.
