kairn Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 Is there an online summit log that everyone agrees to be THE online summit log? I was just on Prusik Peak last week, and the canister was empty! I've looked for online summit logs, but there seem to be many, so I wonder if there is one in particular I should visit. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt.Caveman Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 That one was put in by the boealps and the lid is gone. I left a pencil and business card in there a couple months ago but the thing must be gone by now.

texplorer Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Thanks god for snafflehounds or our peaks would be riddled with business cards and unsightly cans of pieces of paper with wankers names all over them telling about how THIS peak is so great and how the views are so beautiful. Go to the summit, take a picture, take a picture flipping off the camera, take your nude summit shot and then go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplorer Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 Hey that's a good idea. Maybe we could start an online nude photo summit log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've been around since long before you or I were born. I've seen summit registers with a lot of history in them. Greenwood Peak, for example : one of the oldest summit registers in the Cascades put up by a Mazama Boy Scout troop in 1933. The first ascent party believed they were climbing Mt. Fernow. The historic first ascent account is still there. I, for one, enjoy flipping through summit logs and seeing the names of friends and family who have climbed before me. I enjoy reading people's comments regarding routes, etc. I've found out a lot of interesting information in summit registers that I haven't read anywhere else. The NPS puts signs with their rules/regulations at trailheads ... the USFS puts registers at trailheads to keep track of climbers entering trails. There are signs nailed to trees informing back country travelers that they have just entered the Glacier Peak Wilderness area. Should we get rid of these too? How about road signs? They're marring up our sidewalks. Get rid of them? How about houses? Thank god for hurricanes and tornadoes, or there'd be houses everywhere! Â I see no harm in summit registers. That's my opinion.

klar404 Posted July 30, 2002 Share Posted July 30, 2002 yeah, and i've posted it before, but i gotta say it! "I peed in the the tube!". The only valid response I've read on a summit. Other than " who's got the crack?" on the summit of pilchuck. I've never seen a summit register on really rough peaks. terror or (he blushes) goblin. go grab a goblin!
