Back in the early 1980's, my friend Joel returned from a family road trip. He came back from Yosemite with a copy of Life magazine that featured Bachar and a bunch of Yosemite studs. We owned three stoppers and nearly killed ourselves climbing a finger crack at the base of the GNS area. I remember Joel announcing he was going to "free solo" the GNS, with his Fire shoes and some chalk that he'd lifted from a blackboard at the high school and then pulverized, carried in a canvas army ditty bag that functioned as a chalk bag. I thought he was out of his mind. But watching him climb casually up the GNS inspired me to follow in some Adidas runining shoes. On the same day Jeff Lowe was demonstrating the use of TriCams by climging Sagitarius with a rack of his new passive cams...and nothing else.
