He was just one of the local celebrities, politicians and city residents who rappelled 23 stories down the side of the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero hotel during lunchtime.
"I had a little reservation, but hey I figure it was the only time I was going to rappel and it was free and it was for a worthy cause so might as well do it," said former San Francisco 49ers player Guy McIntyre.
The rappelling was part of Outward Bound California's campaign to provide low-income students with outdoor learning opportunities.
