Thanks for bumping this. I used to read his posts from time to time. Always hoped to bump into him sometime but it never happened.

Greatest disclaimer I've ever heard. Loved it.

It seems some people leave a long legacy in what they do. I'm glad some of it was shared with all of us.

In contemplation of what it means to live well...

Good morning thread bump!

Near that time of year when I get wistful. Not going to bump the memorial thread, just this one.

Such good thoughts this year as we sail the deep currents and think of the Sirens call. And besides, it can't be harder than 5.8+, that's the hardest I climb. ;)


Hey, get out of that brush Brutus! LOL

I don't have any quote, posts, or lists to contribute, but I love this thread.

Brutus stands as a continuous thread throughout my climbing life. I find myself seeing him in all my familiar spots and overtime I leave the really big cams in the car, and swearing about it deep in some odd OW.

Or even walking along a 'use path' along the next ridge over.

I know it's quite odd, but after hanging around the Taco for a handful of years, Brutus of Wyde remains much larger, accessible, and engaging legend and influence than any of the big names of 'my' generation that I'm 'supposed' to be following. Ok...there are a few others, but they seem to move in packs ;) (or maybe tribes?)

Thanks for the bump and much appreciated! Bump for Brutus!

Cheers

"Remember to breathe!" Brutus shouted at me during telemark class at Sierra at Tahoe. Of course his climbing helmet doubled as a ski helmet and his poles had self arrest handles! Also "Come by the car for a beer after class."

Always memorable climbing with him. Always.
