Yes. He didn't have a pencil with him.

That register was a who's who of Sierra mountaineering. Signing the same book as all of those greats was humbling.

Just had to make sure the Saudi-stamped passport page didn't fill up with entries since we put the jar and the anchor up there. It han't.

MikeM I like your thoughts!

Were summit registers mountain climbers original social media?
BITD, if given the chance to linger on a summit, I'd scan along the who, what, when, where, valuable mountain secrets. Some of those who haunt ST.

Can't stop change, Ondra's every movement is very impressive.

A summit entry I most clearly remember too many years later, was on Jumbo Mountain in BC interior. Wondering if the route we'd climbed was a first I did my best with the few scattered pages. Then, in my fingers I read "First Winter ascent, March 1919, Conrad Kain (alone) From Farnham Creek on snowshoes in 4 1/2 hours"! Wow, his exclamation point was worthy!!!

a crummy pic (lost the original)from the Grand. I'm sitting on the Plaque that honored Owen's (controversial) first ascent.The plaque mysteriously vanished years later.

When my brother visited from New Hampshire last month, my daughter and I ran him up the North Ridge of the First Flatiron, but being a fly by night type guide I neglected to point out the summit register. I remedied the situation a week ago, and texted him proof from the summit.

Nice photo on Ericsson, and quite the effort to get there with that much snow! What month was that?

Early-Mid July
I love the High Sierra in these conditions. We did loop all the way around the upper Kern Basin, Kings-Kern Divide, Great Western Divide, and Whitney-Tulainyo Lake, Sherpherd Pass. Climbed a few peaks here and there. Ran out of mosquito repellent 3/4 of the way through the trip.

Russ should just bartack his nose together. No don't really I was just kidding.

I was completely flummoxed when I drove out to the middle of nowhere in Nevada then hiked I don't now how many miles to some pile of rubble on the outskirts of nowhere. Yea I used to do that as much as I could. Climbed the stupid thing and found a register on top. I'm thinking who would climb this stupid thing. Well here I am.

Neat thread.
I try to doodle a bit to show my artsy side. Always seems a bit more poetic than anything I end up writing.

Two great pioneers of the 40s and 50s out for a leisurely stroll up the Royal Arches on Memorial Day 1951. Nelson and Salathe, together as a team, made some remarkable early first ascents in the Valley.

Hey Guido -

Munge and I found an old Band-Aid can on the southern gendarme, next to Castle Rock Spire, that had one piece of paper dating 1949, mentioning Ax and John's first attempt at CRS. Wish we had taken a shot of it.....barely readable.

Saw the register Vernon made. Here's one from the top of Old Woman Statue. Last entry was 7 years prior.
