Pioneering skiier, climber and banjoist Bill Briggs in 1976. Photo by Kevin Lynch<\/em><\/p>\n

For those of you who’ve read my previous story of the remarkable Bill Briggs, extreme-sport pioneer and Bob Dylan collaborator, here’s a photo of a scene I allude to in the posting.<\/p>\n

Briggs is rowing toward Mount Moran in the background. I think it captures some of the intensity and determination of the only person to have ever skied down from the summit of The Grand Teton.<\/p>\n

And I think he really does look like singer-songwriter Malcolm Holcombe. Their personalities are somewhat similar as well — intense, a bit eccentric, but essentially sweet fellows.<\/p>\n

Also, I incorrectly stated that our Moran climb was in 1973. The correct year was 1976.<\/p>\n
