Yes, yes, Mr Yerian we shall not forget one of the quintessential elements of proverbial climbing.Persona wise, he defined climbing in the time frame that I captured as a climber myself. In no way can I pretend of an ability that approaches Mr. Bachar, yet I feel a verve that must be felt by climbers universally-- Move !!!

Hey John Bachar, remembering you! Thanks for all the help, guidance and opportunity you gave me in trying to create a new life after Dan-o went to heaven. Think yo are both there roaming the planets and climbing stuff that's never been done. Peace and Joy to you John along with Comfort and Love to all your family. lynnie
Also remembering bitdfs (back in the day fun stuff)like making living body pyramide's with the big & little kiddos. Life is to be lived and enjoyed one day at a time. Somehow we did that back then. :D

Johnny (slabbo that is):
I have a similar memory of buying my first pair of Fires of JB in C-4, for cash.
I had quit climbing for many years while I was living in Hawai'i.
Moving to Vegas so an end to that hiatus. A couple years later J.B was in town and did a slide show at the west side climbing gym.
I spoke with him before the show and told'm a few of my memories of interacting with him BITD in c-4 and/or the parking lot and a few times out on the crags.
When I mentioned that I just gotten back into climbing after almost 20 years away... He looked at me with a huge smile and as he gave me a 'bro hug' said "Welcome, welcome back brother!"
The man helped shape mine and many another's whole world, not just our world of rock climbing but what it meant to be a climber, athlete and what the word commitment really meant.
Long Live the JB's legacy!

Another year gone by and John's memory lives on in so many of our hearts and minds. You will never be forgotten, Dude. The stories have been passed down to the next two generations, at least in my family. Peace to Tyrus above all and to John's extended family along with the ones that loved him and all his climbing mates.
Cheers, JB.....

When you're in Yosemite it's still hard to believe when you turn around Bachar's VW bus is no longer there with his hip-hop music blaring. It just seems like yesterday when we were all there. So let's always remember our friends that have passed before us. Especially this special day and John.

I'm late, but none the less want to remember John Bachar. I believe his actual date was the 23rd. Hope to see you again in the heavenlies, friend.
Thanks for helping me thru a very difficult time in my life.

Good to see his face here on ST. Wish JB was still here in body, but he is indeed here in soul and spirit.
"OK, what size shoe should I order?" How many hundreds of posts did he field on this question? he, he,........:)

Great shots. We spent about a week with him in Boux (sp?) France, in December 1989 during our honeymoon, holed up in a "caravan" (trailer) in a dirt lot. I'd met him a handful of times before in JT, but not to really spend time with. So sorry he is gone. Such an amazing light and influence.

Finally rediscovered one of my fav pics. Ana this is the one you wanted.
Climbing reunion at KP's in JTree when Dan was still healthy and before JB's car wreck. Life was good. Life is still good. Life is like the Merced.... it's always moving. The river/life flows around the stones, boulders and fallen trees....... moving, moving and always changing the landscape of life.
