I miss you Brutus. So many dreams and routes we were going to get lost on and cause our poor feet to suffer on together.

Can't quantify or measure the deep enriching experiences I had with Brutus. Although our time was limited, no one person poked at my soul and planted the questions like he did. "Who are we?" "Where are we going?" "What do you really see?" Brutus really got my mind going. His gestures, quirks, one liners....a banquet! It was like feeding a baby their first ice cream. And his love for Em was an example I wanted for myself. I always loved hearing the two of them thank the other for a safe belay or talking about "today's gift". Brutus WILL ALWAYS be "today's gift"!
Brutus, if you're reading this from the base of that celestial crag in the great beyond, all of my FA's since you have been gone are rated "5.8+". ;)
Miss you DOOD!

SO. MUCH. RADNESS.
Nine years ago I missed the Stone House memorial but happened to pull up Jerry's slideshow...at a guesthouse in Leh, Ladakh...and Darla's picture came up and one of the women at the house recognized her from a visit fifteen years earlier! Mountain people really do share something special.
Miss you Brutus! You cut a wide swath.

I never met Bruce, let alone knew him.
But he definitely seems to be the kind of pal we all wish to have.
I'll hoist one in his honor and for all of you who will forever have a void.
Here's to BoW!

Thanks all for sharing the pics. Never had the honor of meeting in person.
He looms large in my climbing world. I feel I've been listening to his stories before I heard of climbers such as Jimmy Chin and such. And I love hearing your stories, seeing the pics, and hope you all will keep sharing this unique Human.

Only meet the MAN through his climbs .....
kicked my butt to....
after one weekend at a Dome in the Sierra, where Kris and I failed on a unknown climb...... Kris called me about two weeks later and said "I found out about that climb..." "some dude named Bender or something like that..put it up" .....
I like to climb and take my friends to some of Bruce's "sunny fun 5.8" in the A-hills on cold days..... doing that warms my heart and I do "know" Bruce through those climbs.
Live on
