John Bachar Southeast Tour - November 2008

In every sport there are men, myths and legends. In the world of rock climbing and free soloing without a rope, there is only one name that fits all three: John Bachar.

John Bachar — who for many years was considered America's most daring rock climber — is visiting the Southeast (Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina) in November, 2008. While here, he will be giving several slideshows and Acopa Shoe Demos.

Controversial and uncompromising, Bachar pushed the boundaries of what was possible, and at the same raised the world's standards.

A true rock star as a teenager, Bachar soloed 5.11 when 5.12 did not yet exist ... then he did the first 5.12 in Yosemite Valley, bouldered even harder, climbed stronger than anyone. He refused to compromise his strong traditional style "ground up" ethics along the way.

Then, at the height of his fame, Bachar disappeared.

John Long says,
"There has never been anyone like John Bachar, and there never will be again."

Peter Croft says,
"Yosemite was THE place, Bachar was THE guy, that makes him more than just a climber."

Rob Robinson says,
"John Bachar was unquestionably the greatest climber of our generation."

Bachar's slide show covers a climbing career of epic proportions, and one filled epic accomplishments.

Join John as he shares with you his personal journey through the vertical world, and meet firsthand one of the greatest climbers who has ever lived.
