发帖数: 227 | 1 Just two days ago, I was standing in front of the 700 feet Bachar-Yerian at
Medlicott Dome. Completely shocked by how tall and how steep it was. I've
seen it in video/photos for hundreds of times. But you have to
actually stand in front of it to realize what a holly route it is. Here they are,
two spectacular black water streaks rise from the second tier ledge all the
way to the top of the giant tombstone like dome, side by side.
Yeah. Man, That's right. It can only be Bachar-Yerian and Peace.

many of us couldn't accept the fact that free soloing can kill JB. I mean,
maybe a car accident can kill him (it almost did). but he's just such a
master in climbing that he appears to us to be almost immortal. |

发帖数: 227 | 10 One post I read on supertopo, I thought it was well written and touchy:
When I was a 14-year-old boy growing up in the San Fernando Valley of Los
Angeles, photos of John Bachar meant one thing: ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! For a
generation of climbers, of people, Bachar meant this.
I was nearby the day he died, sitting on top of Crystal Crag in the High
Sierra sun. The day was beautiful, absolutely beautiful. I had soloed up
Crystal Crag, which sits right above the Dike Wall and has a decent view of
it |

发帖数: 3291 | 14 No doubt he is the best climber that can be. I admire his skill and courage.
However, would it make a sky diver greater if he refuse to carry a backup
parachute, would it make a race car driver more popular if he does not wear
a helmet or does not want to have an airbag in his car? |

发帖数: 227 | 16 All your questions are logical.
Essentially, it's about how you understand climbing, and your life. Is
climbing simply a sport? or is climbing an adventure? Is your life a repeat
on pre-defined path? or is it a bold attempt to push beyond boundaries with
art and mastery? On different occasions, individual decisions were made by
generation of climbers. This is exactly why we say Bachar's leave marks the
end of an era. An era when plastic holds weren't around. An era great

我们大多数人不敢那么做,生命虽然长一些,但是却没有那么辉煌的生命瞬间,
其实再长,也不过短短几十年,当然了,各人追求不同,我在家和黄咪玩玩也觉的很好.
