I just received my copy and I was surprised to see him on the obit page. You mean there wasn't a more significant death than Bachar's? Or maybe they tailor the obit page for the N American edition and Europe, Asia, etc. get their own obits. I don't know.
All that being said, while I appreciate the 'freedom' Bachar exhibited in his climbing I can't help but think there was a certain Darwin Award aspect to the man. Gravity can hurt and there's really no excuse for not being responsible. He may not have cared about himself but what if he landed on someone and hurt them?
Anyway, this is written from corporate hell (albeit a well-paid hell!) and the closest I am to living on the edge is when the battery in the mouse goes out. Sigh.....
