5.0 out of 5 stars RIP John, July 13, 2009
This review is from: Free Climbing with John Bachar (Climbing Specialists) (Paperback)
From the LA Times:
"John Bachar, a legendary figure in the obscure and close-knit world of rock climbing, died Sunday after a fall near his home in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. He was 52.
Bachar perished after falling while climbing alone on Dike Wall outside Mammoth Lakes. Nearby climbers heard the fall and quickly reached Bachar, who was rushed to Mammoth Hospital, where he died shortly afterward from severe injuries."

John was also an accomplished sax player who admired Miles Davis and John Coltrane. I had the pleasure of making music with John a few times with Don Reid and Rick Cashner in the 80's. Some of the best jamming I've ever done in my life. He was a great guy and will be missed by all who knew him.
