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. Controversial and uncompromising, Bachar pushed the boundaries of what was possible and raised the world’s standards at a time when climbers merely pursued the physical in climbing. A true rock star as a teenager, he soloed 5.11 when 5.12 didn’t exist, created the first 5.12 in Yosemite Valley, bouldered harder, climbed stronger, and refused to compromise his ethics along the way. Then, at the height of his fame, he disappeared. This is his story.
