John Bachar climbing 5.11a
My buddy and I were in JT April 14-17 2006 and met a nice fellow who gave us advice on where to set up TR (he recommended Thin Wall). We chatted a bit, and then he proceeded to solo 2 5.8ish routes in front of us, then walked off and soloed Out for Lunch (5.11a). Our jaws dropped. Weeks later, after seeing pictures of him in recent climbing magazines, I've come to realize we met and watched John Bachar free soloing in JT. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. This is 1 of 4 pics.
