He should have quit when he had his first child. Fatherhood has a way of making people involved in risky endeavors to think twice about what they're doing. Now his son has no dad.
These are some of the truly some of the greatest climbers in history. Yes the sport climbers are pushing the technical limits BUT rap bolting, tightly spaced pre-placed pro, cleaning the cracks and holds must be considered a form of DIRECT AID. I'd like to see some of these guys do le toit 5.12a the way Long and his buddies did before the age of big bros and giant cams.
WE witness that conversation on the business deal between Masonic3rd and John 4yrs ago in JTree Ca. This was a sweet deal for John and he agreed to come to LA to discuss in more detail. Obviously this deal never transpired due to johns cancellations and personal exuses as to why he couldnt make it to LA. M3rd admired Johns success in the climbing industry and saw opportunities with Bachar to take the industry to a whole NEW level. Bachar never made it to LA cuz he wasnt worthy of wealth. R.I.P
John Bachar was a great guy. I remember when i first met him, it was at the mammoth mountianeering shopin the eraly summer of 2000 he was so dirty it was great . he was giving information to the guys there on a route he had just finished to this day i cant remember where it was. john bachar also played the saxaphone. I will miss him
masonic3rd ur a choad who likes to tear down someone elses lifestyle cause u dont have the strength or vision to follow ur own. soloist take calculated risks just like u do when u get in ur car or a plane. its thier choice and nobody elses. so quit ur bitching. dont solo if you dont want to. but dont shit on someone elses skill and desire to.

Free soloing is a losers game. cowsruleu YOU are the faggot..Bachar died with NO MONEY NO HOME NO WIFE NO NOTHING. MOST free solo climbers are just like Bachar. Dumb and BROKE ASS.
Wow, Masonic, i cant believe someone has the balls to make comments like that on here. You know how many people would kill you with their bare hands for saying such rediculous things?
masonic3d what have you done john is a legend ,long has writen many books, croft is a mild mannerd a great guy and many soloing accomplishments what have you done except trashing other well know people only insecure people need to do this rest in peace john and long live long and croft
The Bachar-Yerian is an amazing, beautiful, and blank-looking climb. Every time I'm in Tuolumne, I just look up at the Bachar-Yerian and stare in wonder. Long live John Bachar!
To Masonic3rd: when referring to more than two people, the word "neither" is not proper. You should have said " 'none' of them have a brain..." Perhaps you are the idiot....

To rwalt85... feel better dumb ass? It is probably the only little victory YOU ever had pointing out one error. Like those three broke ass loser's you're an idiot too.
@masonic3rd I'm not bashing on you because I don't know you but one of these guys is dead, try and have a little respect! Also, I don't think rock-climbing is all physical, they have to possess a massive amount of concentration (in the prefrontal cortex of a persons BRAIN) to be able to do what they do....Again, I've never even rock-climbed indoors, but I have respect for people with skills in all areas of life......What you're saying isn't right.

I knew Mark Foo real well. I can tell you that Mark could not care much less about Bachar and his brainless solos.
