Description
This route S-curves up the wall passing thru three separate overhangs to a bold and committing move onto an exposed arete. Delicate climbing on the arete leads to larger holds and the anchor above.
The name is an homage to legendary cliimber John Bachar. On the same day this route was established, Bachar perished practicing his art just outside of the nearby town of Mammoth Lakes.
