Still miss him to this day! Finally got down to making this little slide show video, featuring Munge and I climbing Castle Rock Spire. Brutus and I had originally planned on climbing this a year prior. I added a few shots of some early ascensionists as well as our own, which include Steve Roper, Mark Powell, John Salathe and Allen Steck. Hope you enjoy it. :)
To Brutus......you're with me on all my adventures. "Shine on you crazy diamond...."

It says a lot about the character of a man when he is willing to take the time and effort to remember those that inspired that man in some way.
Really cool slide show and a very nice way to remember your friend.

Thanks, Mooch.
Brutus also liked little obscure things, which is how we overlapped.
He was a kick.

I sadly never got to tie in with him, judguing form all accounts here, he would have been high on my list. A reminder to treat others how we wish to be treated, as soon, all too soon, we too will be but memories for those who remain.
Take care all!

Very true. Brings to mind the old saying that "A picture is worth a thousand words."
Thanks for sharing.
