Rick, I met a guy in Alaska that said he used to climb with you. His name was Gary Hopkins. He fixed my roof in Seward.

Welcome Rick. Long time no see! But I'll be around the Valley neighborhood for the next few months, once I get back there in early June. Would love to get together if you'll be there. Cheers, Ken

anyone who skis off asgard with a parachute for an early bond flic is ok with me.

from wiki-Bond film veteran Willy Bogner captured the action staged by stuntman Rick Sylvester who earned $30,000 for the stunt. This stunt cost $500,000 - the most expensive single movie stunt at that time.

Didn't Charlie Porter lead all of Tangerine Trip on the FA, with a porta-belayer? And we can't forget the solo first ascents.

Rick!
Welcome to the ST campfire.
Like any climber's campfire there are some truly interesting people here, and some real nut cases.
I, of course, consider myself among the interesting people!

Although I'm not the biblical sort of knowledge-seeker I consider myself
blessed to have known Rick albeit to a lesser degree than many of you.
I can't wait to see some pearls from Rick's internet pen.
(If prodded I might be able to produce a couple of compromising photos, so to speak)

Rick is still very much in the mix.

Roger and Peter Haan talking shop about Middle Rock. Rick somewhat uncharacteristically in the background...LOL

Ten years ago, I was out at 90' wall in February, showing a visiting friend around and TR'ing some stuff. Rick showed up alone and soloed everything there. He introduced himself, gave me a business card, and told me to call if I ever needed a partner.

Hi Rick.

Rick is still getting to the head of the line:

Anyone notice that he spent two days in Tuolumne last weekend?

Wish I had been there with you guys!

He climbed the "Old Man of Hoy" and a couple of other Scottish sea stacks three years ago. He's still at it and a good guy most importantly.
