A true legend and an inspiration has passed.

We got a message that John Bachar fell whilst soloing at the Dike Wall, Mammoth Lakes, California on 5th of July.
He was found dead at the base of the cliff. He leaves a son, Tyrus. John was 52.

Mick Ryan from UKClimbing.com wrote that the Dike Wall is a beautiful cliff of pristine granite situated at 9,000ft above Mammoth Lakes where John lived with his son. John was climbing by himself and was found at the base of the 80ft North Wall.
