the first 70s free climber--in the mid-60s (Roger Breedlove)

Strong and fast climber responsible for first ascents or first free ascent of many short and mid-length Yosemite classics 1960-1965. His focus almost entirely on free climbing was unusual for the time. Sacherer mainly climbed at weekends as he was studying full-time for a PhD in particle physics at the University of California, Berkeley and most of his significant ascents were routes achievable in one day. Others have reported he discussed the possibility of climbing The Nose of El Capitan in a day and he made early attempts at freeing the Stoveleg Cracks on this route.

He migrated to Switzerland and worked at CERN in Geneva from 1970 to 1978.
