Smith Rock State Park

Jim Anglin, 55, of White Salmon Washington lost his footing while hiking down a steep trail at the park, 20 miles north of Bend.

Anglin and two friends were descending into the gorge along a steep climbers trail at the southeast end of Smith Rock State Park at the time of the fall.

Anglin and two rock climbing partners were on their way to climb routes in that area of the park. Anglin's freinds described him as an experienced rock climber, and said he and his partners were outfitted with all of the appropriate climbing gear.
