Attended a memorial for Lorraine Bonney at the Teton Climbers Ranch. Bill Briggs "Brigger" provided the music - several days after celebrating his 45th anniversary of skiing the Grand (with a fused hip). Yvon Chouinard provided stories. Wisdom everywhere. and I took my first picture of the Tetons after 40 years (one I fixated on anyway).

Bill Briggs "Brigger" provided the music - several days after celebrating his 45th anniversary of skiing the Grand (with a fused hip). He also ran the ski school at Snow King and was an Exum Guide, forever.

Brigger plays, long time Jackson, Wyoming writer Angus Thuermer looks on from the pulpit.

Yvon Chouinard, my ice climbing instructor in 1978, tells... "On a Middle Fork trip I asked Lorraine to sleep with the sourdough starter, it exploded in her sleeping bag during the night. Boy was she mad".

Yvon signs a copy of Climbing Ice.

The Bonney Cabin in Kelly, Wyoming.

After 40 years, seven living in the Tetons, I took my first picture of them. One I fixated on anyway. I visualized the spot, scouted the day before, slept nearby, and got there at sunrise before taking the snap. Rewarded with clouds and rich light.
