Valhalla TahoeLiving HIstory: Legendary Mountaineer-Norman Clyde

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. Freelance writer,  nature photographer, self-trained naturalist and extraordinary mountaineer, Norman Clyde achieved over 130 first ascents of some the Sierra Nevada’s (and West’s) most challenging peaks. Local historian and author David Woodruff assumes the character of this larger-than-life paragon in an entertaining and amusing 75-minute living history performance.
