The Pack that Walked like a Man
There is probably no one more intimately tied to the Sierra Nevada Mountains than Norman Clyde. Yet to this day, he remains virtually unknown outside the world of alpine climbing. Clyde achieved over 130 first ascents of some the Sierra Nevada’s most challenging peaks. Carrying a pack that often weighed over 80 lbs., the “crusty” Clyde participated in over a hundred search and rescues missions. Join local historian and author David Woodruff as he assumes the character of this larger-than-life paragon in an entertaining 60-minute Chautauqua performance on Tuesday, April 8 at 1:30pm in the Nevada Room (west end) of the Carson City Senior Center, 911 Beverly Drive. This is a free event and RSVP is not necessary. For more information call (775) 883-0703.
