Sundance, Wyo., Oct. ZAP -
People scare George Hopkins. but
six nights alone atop a rock spire
leave him without qualms.
That's how the 30-year-old Texas
parachutist voiced his reactions at
ter he was eased to the base oi
Devils Tower after dark last night
by veteran Alpinists.
Were you frightened up there
or coming DOWN." he was asked.
Never was he replied.
But Id rather climb back up
than face that crowd"
The headlights OF several hun
bred cars glared at the white-garb-
ed daredevil and the weary men
who saved his life-and risked
their own-through II perilous
hours of climbing and descending
the l.2S0-foot volcanic formation.
Il want a shave and a haircut,
Hopkins said as onlookers surged
around the little group.
Boy. I'll never grow whiskers,
This six-day beard is terrible"
Hopkins said that until he float
ed TO the summit OF the tower last
Wednesday morning. he liked
mountain climbing AS hobby"
But not as a vocation, he
added.
III you ever think OF trying any
thing like this, think twice-and
then don't do it..
The San Antonio adventurer
dropped 600 feet to the little cir
cular turret which he inhabited
with only the wind and the clouds,
the rain and the snow flurries, by
means of a parachute. His inspird-
ton was a $50 bet and the desire
for publicity as a chutist.
He accomplished the feat with.
