Once in the Tetons I found a fat joint in the register.
Along the side in tiny letters was"Get a little bit higher".
We did.
Then once on Mt. Moran an entry read, "Climb with grace, she has big ti-s".

When Heidi & I hiked up 11,878' Standhope Peak in Idah's Pioneer Range back in the late 1990's, we found a summit register that had been fried by a lightning strike.
We were charmed to find a charred Book of Mormon with a hole burned through the center.
In 2015, after 9 leads of climbing nostalgia (I had first climbed the route in 1972 & had not been on it since 1984) on the Three-Cracks route on Slickrock, near McCall, Idaho, I was surprised to find a nice modern summit register. Among the contents was some smoke-dope in a baggie. It may still be there folks!

Are summit registers these days just glorified litter? Only to the extent that climbing these days is just masturbation.

My favorite register was the one that used to be on the summit of Mount Ellen in the Henry Mountains. One year somebody failed to latch it properly. I got up there pretty early the next spring and the register was empty and filled with snow. Bummer. That register had some epic entries.

A volcano in Bali. I had the summit sunrise to myself.
As an added bonus the crater was filled with clouds/mist, and I enjoyed a Brocken Spectre. Only the second one in many years......

^left that one up on China Cat
found this one the other day. replaced the tin (with writing implements, silica packet, face-shot of Snoop Dog (Lion?) from Doggystyle album art). left gud whiskey to keep register tin company under summit cairn.
this one shows record of ascents by about 30 people between 1965 and 1995. Tim Toula ('95) was right: pitch one was an absolute Cactus Festivaal!
v nice, Don! vv the one I found yesterday shows just legible print: "smoking tobacco"

On Polemonium Peak June 23, 1973.
Polemonium is between Mt. Sill and North Palisade on the Sierra crest. Typical of the day, the register was contained in a Velvet pipe tobacco can. That's Susie Condon holding it above her ancient Patagonia Foamback cagoule
Norman Clyde, David Brower, and Hervey Voge were not the first since they "Found cairn no record".

MadBolter and Reeotch. . .
I've seen that before (on Castleton. . .) I only wish I'd taken a couple
of pics of the register when I climbed it in '77--there were some BIG
names on it. I was honored to sign that thing.

Recently Left this next to the helicoptered-in, early '60s USGS benchmark after an 8 mile, much vertical approach with short 5.8 chosscrack. it appears that we were the first ambulatory, muscle-powered ascent of the formation. our register will be a bummer for the next person, but the whiskey will take the sting out of it. we were too wasted to nip off it as we looked back at the gnarly return to camp with 90 mins of light and a L of water left.
