A Legend Passes...

For those of you who follow climbing, you probably already know that John Bachar passed away yesterday in a free-soloing accident. If you don't know who Bachar is (beyond the fact that he owns Acopa), you should take some time to read about his contribution to climbing in the US. He was a bold and pioneering free-soloist and one of the original Stone Masters.
