As someone wrote earlier, Clyde is the Sierra Neveda.

That route was one of my first ascents in the High Sierra back in the 1970s.

I found Clyde’s name in a summit register last summer. There were only five other names in it. I’m not telling where, just go to Bishop and start wandering. West.
That same day I walked right into a bear. I’m so lucky!

If a touch excessive at times...LOL
I finally found this classic shot of Clyde in Robert C. Pavlik's 2008 biography.

I recently had a conversation with a fellow named Perry Mann who had some interesting history about the first ascent of the east face of Clyde Minaret.
Hopefully he will come on and lay it down for us.

That dulfersitz shot indicated how Norman's nuts must have been fashioned from rough hewn rawhide thus offering him all the protection he needed.

It was only recently that I found out that Clyde died from malignant melanoma. guess there wasn't much sunscreen back then.....

A few years back, me and some of my kids and 10b4me (I think) stopped by the Eastern California Museum in Independence (http://www.inyocounty.us/ecmsite/);. There are a plethora (he'd appreciate that word, being a Classicist) of great Norman Clyde materials and artifacts there. I coulda spent a lot longer perusing them.
