Peak/Summit Registers?

[OrganDonor]

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?

What determines if a peak gets a register,

 

Put one there and that will determine it.

if you make a public list then the NPS will be able to find and destroy them, so don't.

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."

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

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.

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.

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.

I usually throw away the pencil after I make my entries.

It's pretty cool to find 'em when there's only a couple entries total that date back to the FA.
