John Bachar dies soloing in Sierra

This video just posted on Climbing.com Bachar was living proof of extended human potential coming from belief and mental training combined with tenacious physical ability. Bachar simply did climbs that terrified nearly everyone, regularly. now he has passed on, sadly leaving a son and many many friends to marvel at his life, and after grieving and sadness wane, to be forever inspired by John. I never did climb with him, nor played tunes with him on the sax... something I hoped might happen this summer at OR with the first organized band jam-a-thon going down third night. looks like I'll have to wait. Rest in Peace, John Bachar.
