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.
RIP John Bachar

The phrase "working mother" is redundant. ~Jane Sellman
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?

A monk asked Quiglin Shiqian, "What is a person who has realized the Way?"
Quiglin said, "Embracing the ice and snow, head and eyebrows held high."
