Bruce Bindner (aka Brutus of Wyde) put together a collection of twelve climbs in the Sierra highcountry for
the Rock Rendezvous Climbing Club newletters spanning
May 1997 through April 1998.
While most of these trip report/descriptions and topos remain unpublished outside the RR newsletter, a few of them have made their
way onto the web.
We hope that Bruce chooses to share them more widely in the future.
