Talk:Rick Sylvester

Retirement
Did he earn enough money from the famous "Spy Who Loved Me" ski-jump to retire? He seems to have stopped working in the movie biz after that (and is presumably still alive, unlike so many other stuntmen). -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 21:44, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

I climbed a little with Rick in the mid-80s in Yosemite and he was not doing any active stunt work at the time. I believe he got heavily into BASE jumping and there was a rumour floating around he had been killed in Norway, but it turned out to be false. The article should mention his climbing as he has several first ascents. Georgekwatson (talk) 18:41, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

I too climbed a bit with him in Yosemite but late '60s -early 70's. He was a very good climber. Camp 4 circles considered his "stunts" off base yet we were proud, especially of his making it into the movies. Claude Suhl 70.209.130.20 (talk) 01:01, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
