OrganDonor Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Probably gonna get spray by asking these questions but what the hell, spray doesnt bother and I'm curious so here goes. Is there a list of mountains in Washington that have summit/peak registers? Also, What determines if a peak gets a register, if there is such criteria?

kevbone Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 What determines if a peak gets a register, Put one there and that will determine it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 if you make a public list then the NPS will be able to find and destroy them, so don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 I used to refuse to sign them until I became "Bug" which is short for "Dung-Beetle". Now I sign them "Bug was here. No shit." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jens Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 The couple of dudes that are throwing the registers off and or stealing them are gonna rot in hell forever. That is the most heinous grievance known to man. Karma Karma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrganDonor Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Why would the NPS destroy them? There's already somewhat of a list out there but I'm not sure its accurate. I dont plan on making a list. I was curious about this topic because if I climb a peak that has a register I might as well sign it. But there is no point in looking for the register if the peak doesnt have one. I heard the mountaineers maintain some, but they appear not to have a list. By the way I agree, whoever is destroying the registers, may your rappell anchor fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bug Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Personally, I hate seeing registers up there. I don't care about the ones that are discrete - little tubes buried in a pile of rocks. But the big silver boxes that stand out like a phallus in a convent are just too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpine_Tom Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 This topic stimulates as much heat as bolt-chopping. Personally, I get a real kick out of reading others' registry entries. The Mountaineers 'maintain' peak registers, and keep filled ones in their library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choada_Boy Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 I usually throw away the pencil after I make my entries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dechristo Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 It's pretty cool to find 'em when there's only a couple entries total that date back to the FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
