790 Link is a mountain biking climb in Oregon, about 4.3 miles from the town of Perry. It is a short out-and-back route of about 1.5 miles, with a total elevation gain of 454 feet. The climb starts at roughly 4,043 feet and reaches a high point of about 4,246 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 0.45 miles in, where the grade reaches 19%. The most comfortable months for riding are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in La Grande show May highs around 68°F and September highs around 77°F, with July and August the warmest at about 86 to 87°F. That station sits well below the climb, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes sit close by, including 775 Depends and 788 Dirt Circus, each about 0.1 mile away, and 765 Slammer at about 0.4 mile. Climbers can find the Concert Hall climbing area about 3.9 miles away.
