Or what dicks they are... Read similar comments about Micah, Johnny and Wade. That's OK tho. Those are the types that are rotting in their own personal hell, daily.

Werner, online newspaper comment sections are generally full of the worst sort of anonymous internet trolls. That little gem you quoted is nothing compared to some I've read about other peoples deaths and misfortunes. I generally avoid that sort of "comment" jive these days, no point in letting the bastards get you down.

Werner,
The poster there is obviously a real genius...
"Every time... I sometimes think"
I was hangin' out with Gnome, Rachel and UberBabs on Friday at the Dike Wall. JB was there leading some routes in his perfect measured style. We chatted some about shoes, shoulders, neurology and stuff. I didn't know him well, but saw him from time to time going back to early 80's Josh...
The crags are not going to seem the same now...

It was nice that a few of those who posted comments in the original LA Times article, from the 6th, were people who'd known John in high school or even grade school.

illusiondweller, thanks for your post, I understood your first one too...
even though we have very different beliefs there's plenty of room for all of us to express our response the way we each react to it.
no need for apologies, in my opinion

I'm just a baby when it comes to The Word but it brings me to tears to wonder how many people are out there that are living unknowingly in the world's lies! I lived in it for 44 years and eventually ended up in jail because of living in the worlds deceptions, more specificly a sexual addiction. I'm not affraid or embarrassed to talk about that anymore. Please, I am in no way trying to intimidate anyone or raise anyone's dander or challenge anyone's beliefs but I AM hoping that I raise a question in everyones mind who is "unknowing" of the Truth.
John Bachar was everything to me as he was to all that have shed their tears and spilled out their hearts in this forum, but I'm shaking my head in frustration and really in fear at this: A person may live the most splendid of lives or they may suffer the most heinous of sufferings known to man but if they don't commit their lives to The Truth, that is as good as it gets when contrasted to what they will suffer after they leave this world!
It's a gift, it's free, and you can have it too, there's nothing more to it than that.
To avoid any unnecessary friction in response to this, please respond to me in my email if you would like to talk more.
Peace be with you John.

It's part of what makes climbing heaven for me: freedom.
Bill
Edit: Only the best wishes for those close to John.

I was lucky enough to meet John Bachar a few times. He was friendly and shared answers to the pointed questions I asked him about how he trains for climbing. I listened and used some of his ideas and it helped me. What more could you ask for? It's sad that he didn't get to see Honnold's free-solo of El Cap.

Reading this thread through again with tears. I'll never forget when I Hate Plastic called the afternoon of July 5th and asked me to sit down. I thought he had some joke going down. I sat down and he said, John Bachar died today.
I did not know John well until the last year and a half of his life. He became a good friend and we worked together on a few projects. John helped turn my life in new directions in the outdoor industry after my husband, Dan, died.
To all John's loved ones, family and friends.....Paola, Tyrus, John and Yvonne Bachar Sr., Dan Bachar, Michele and all that loved John you are in my thoughts and heart today. lynnie
