Me and my buddy were soakin' on the east side after a proud and happy trip over the Hoodwink roof (10a), and as weekenders, feelin' good....no one was around and then this guy pulls up, strolls over, and its, its JOHN BACHAR! Holy Sh#t, A legend is with us! My buddy is a jazz trumpeter and he and John commence to go over many interesting music topics and Bachar was real friendly and forthcoming and even offered us some thoughts about soloing and climbing in general. We were awed, amazed and impressed by the experience. Hope you get well soon John.

Hi to all,
Thank you so much for the kind words about my brother Steve.
I am so glad that John and Ana are on the road to recovery.
My love and prayers are with you both and I am here at the Acopa office if you need anything.
Thanks to the climbing community for all the support you are giving John as he will need it more now than ever.
love to all

I have a few Bachar photos and will scan them when I can.
Hey Werner? I remember many times when you ran it out and were kind of enough to bring a rope along solely for my benefit.

Seems like humpday is bumpday, so here's another one to bring to the front.
While I never could get my head around soloing BITD, John's exploits on rock w/ and w/o a rope were a huge motivator for me. Seeing that he's still cranking is a continuing motovator.
So here's a kudo's to the raddest shoes salesman in the world.

Been Emailing with JB about some Acopas. He had tons of great insight. What a great service to be able to correspond with a talented climber and shoe designer!!!!! Look forward to some Aztecs in the near future.
