A 29-year-old Beaverton man was rescued after he fell about 20-25 feet from a cliff while hiking in Skamania County Wednesday evening. Jared West was hiking with his brother and a friend east of Washougal in an area known as the Ozone Wall, near State Route 14. The group had researched a climbing route but realized they were in the wrong area and the climb was more technical than they anticipated, according to Sheriff Dave Brown of the Skamania County Sheriff’s Office.
