But he has an El Cap route named for him.
Is Lucky still at this?
This horse is dead and stinking.

Ric and I are working on commemorative lapel pins that look like this. We can accomodate specialized engraving if a large lot is purchased.
For example:
Honor the Unsung
How many can we put you down for Reilly?
BTW, anybody ever see the Dean Paschall interview?

Speaking of plane crashes: I remember, sometime in the 1950s, as an eight year old or maybe a bit older kid, a plane coming down near Curry Village on the side of Stoneman Meadow. I still remember the sound of the plane sputtering and then a pile of yellow wreckage in the middle of the street. Any body remember this or is it just a manifestation of old timer's syndrome. Just curious.

Six months and no word(s) from licky, despite the last message tease about completing his research. After some lame disclaimer about his lack of experience or expertise in making words flow on paper (despite previous defensiveness when criticized on same topic) TrickyLicky practically promised manuscript completion THAT year, 2018. He wrote in his last post : "I'm used to writting reports, getting the bottom of the line quickly."
I guess when tech writers like lick get to the bottom of the line (contrasting, I suppose, with getting to the bottom line) they do so without concern for proper spelling while doing their "writting."
So by his own schedule, he's over two months behind schedule. Licky, if you did receive an advance for publication you're a month away from getting collection calls from some thuggish skiptracers. Better hope they're not mobbed up with some members of whatever familia paid for the plane weed in Mexico back in '76. Now I'm worried. Say it ain't so, Licky. We're all praying that you're safe.

I”ll write a book on the crash before Lick publishes.
And I have no intention of doing it.

The book is this thread. Distill it down and there's the book.

I suggested this years ago and Ric could still do it.
Serialize his work in progress and publish as magazine-like articles.
Could even earn some money.
Or just follow BVB's take on the whole thing.

Valley scammer. Boystown bottom feeder. King of the derelicts. A public nuisance, as I recall.

He won't remember me either. I was seventeen (my girlfriend was 18) and I had a few climbing friends in Boystown and The Terrace. I can well recall the time that somebody showed me an old army foot locker with some goldlines and antiquated hardware on the side of a tent in The Terrace. They told me that it was Sid's stuff and that he climbed at The Apron a lot. They further elaborated about him. There were a few occasions when he was present that confirmed our feelings.

I recall a light plane crash the summer I worked as a backcountry ranger in 1986. It might have been up near Tuolumne Meadows. No MJ (that's our story and we're sticking to it).

Are you guys jealous because I had more to spend than you did and rarely worked? I sure didn't make a dime off you or anyone in Yosemite, unless you paid too much at a Stones concert or a Lakers game in the 70s. Sorry to bust your bubble but that was my scam, my only hustle. I wished I had more sometimes but I didn't. I came to the valley to spend my money I "hustled" in the big city. Helped curry pay your check. And the only goldline I ever had was in LA. I used it for a winter in 73 to top rope at Stony Point. If you were trespassing in some other guys stuff and saw a goldline it wasnt mine, you f*#king idiot.

You guys crack me up. Why would I care if you remember me? Or if the bitch I dumped after stabbing me with a pair of scissors went for a pathetic hit by my good friend Handy? Or if you think I'm wrong to burn Licky? Or if you think I'm right? Why would I care at all? Even if I saw you every day, why would I care what you think of me, or anything else? How in the world do you think your insults hurt me? What makes any of us so pretentious that we believe anyone cares what we think now? Again I ask all the anonymous accusers, what, exactly, did I "hustle" you out of? Nothing in Yosemite. I scalped tickets in LA and the bay area, my only "hustle." Never closer to Yosemite than Mountain Aire in Angel's Camp
