  • @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.

  • 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.

  • @chinabeach514b

    Amazingly well said man.

  • 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

  • I know.... lets make an easy climb really dangerous! That will get everyone's attention! douche....

  • 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

  • Come find me.

  • LOL U R ALL LOSERS.
