HBFC. These initials adorned the helmet of a well-known American climber from the 1960s. Anyone know what they stand for?

Book Sale
Sadly, my book is now out of print. I have a few brand-new copies that I will sign and send for $50, including postage. (They're currently over $100 on Amazon.) Click on "my complete profile" above for contact info. I hope to find a new publisher to bring out a second edition, but this could be it.

Was it Hugh Banner? Not sure what the FC would be for though . . .
Hugh Banner For Climbing
Hint: HB is not Hugh Banner. However, HB is a climber's initials.
Henry Barber Free-Climber
Nope. The person wearing the helmet was not HB.
