According to thread posted on MountainProject this was factor 2 lead fall.
In reply to: He was leading easy terrain at the very top of the climb. He had not placed any protection after leaving the belay. It is unclear why he fell. He took a long factor two fall onto the belay. His climbing partner performed a very well executed self rescue in an attempt to render aid. Myself and another rescuer will be writing up a long accident report after we interview parties involved and examine the gear recovered. Climb safe, Justin

This thread refers to Mike Lydon. He died of injuries sustained during a lead fall on the last pitch of the Beast in Bell's Canyon. Sad news and my condolences to his family.
