Jim Anglin

Does anyone have any clear information about the climbing acccident / death of Jim Anglin at Smith Rocks? He was a friend to my family and I and we are stunned by this tragic news. |

Tragic accident hiking to the Lower Gorge. |

Thanks Andy. |

My condolence, Philo |

I've walked this trail many times and each time someone in the group always nervously jokes about tripping. For those that haven't been there, it is a flat trail right on the lip of a 100' gorge (you are walking on a trail about 2' from the edge). It is very easy to understand how a simple stumble could result in going over the edge. |

Jim was also my friend and, although I did not know him as well as many others, I was stunned by his death. With 35 years plus climbing, Jim was an accomplished climber/ Mountaineer. I will surely miss him. |

When I heard this I was speechless and I still am... |
