John Bachar 从70年代开始就以他的抱石和free solo困难的线路闻名,并且很快成为那个时代最强的free climber。随着时间的推移他成为后来人难以超越的传奇,他的Bachar-Yerian等路线成为世界著名试金石。说道他攀岩的流畅,人们说看不出是在爬5.6还是5.12。

John Bachar 7月5日在free solo时坠亡。

Such a bummer!
本来周四要去听他作slideshow...

两天前刚刚在Tuolumne的Bachar-Yerian(5.11c R/X)下面敬仰了好久,以前只在录像照片里见过,感觉不出线路原来是这么陡这么长,整个Medlicott Wall象一个巨大的700尺高的墓碑,两带黑色的水印象两条缎带从顶上坠下来,左边的宽的是Bachar-Yerian, 右边窄的的是Ron Kauk的Peace。太震撼了,
没想到就在我神往的时候,Bachar就走了。
RIP, Man

John Bachar was born on 1957 in Los Angeles, California; he was an “American Rock Climber” who had a talent of   climbing without any rope or free soling to unparalleled levels. John Bachar began climbing at Stoney Point; he was dropped from UCLA where his father was professor of math because to climbing full time. Preoccupied with the sport, John Bachar engrossed himself in books on physical training and nourishment and quickly he was capable to go one better than his fellow climbers. In 1970s John Bachar met with John Long who shared his physical training with John Bachar and persuaded him to try free soiling. From then John Bachar started soiling, though it was his hobby too.
    John Bachar lived in Mammoth Lakes, California, he was the Director and Designed of “Acopa International LLC” (a company which manufactures rock climbing shoes). On 13th of August, 2006, it was probably midnight near the Nevada state line, John Bachar, his girlfriend Anastasia and Steve Karafa (President of Acopa) were concerned in a car accident on their way to home from the trade show. Anastasia suffered slight injuries, Steve Karafa died at the spot and John was taken to a hospital in Utah. John Bachar suffered 5 fractured vertebrae. Luckily with the passage of time he recovered from the sufferings and joined his profession once again.
    But unfortunately John Buchar could not carry on his career furthermore and died on 5th of July, 2009. Several friends of John Bachar have confirmed the death in a Free Solo Accident at Dike Wall near Bishop, CA.
