my condolences to his family.

this brings a reminder that free soloing will get you sooner or later. for John Bachar i guess you could say it came later.

another legend is gone.

I didn't read through the thread enough to see what happened...but you say he was soloing? my condolences to his family and friends.. and to the people that found him...

If a husband speaks in the woods, and his wife is not there to hear him...is he still wrong?

An inspirational climber, in the written word, in photos, in deed, and in stories told.

I am sure it was a good day to die. As good as any, at least, if the sun was shining.

He leaves a son. Prayers and angel images totally unnecessary. What is that about?

Quiglin said, "Embracing the ice and snow, head and eyebrows held high."
