This is Brad at his opening height of 5.70 in Eugene. Sorry my camera was out of focus and it's all blurry, but you can still see the big height he has on it.

does anyone remember if he had good radial clearance--like did his entire body get that high or did he just get the hipheight?

Judging by the position he's in, I'd say just the hip height reached the level shown. At a guess, I'd say his true radial clearance was about 15cm lower than hips are in the picture, which still puts him around 25-30cm over the bar--not too shabby.
