Club’s Summit Register Initiative

Granite Peak Summit Register
Ever wonder what happens to those registers you sign on summits?

Thanks to an initiative mostly from highpoint liaison chairman Stony Burk the Club has begun saving historic registers. He just turned over the reigsters from Granite and Borah Peaks for safekeeping.

Stony reports:

I think Granite needs a new canister since a summit creature has eaten into a corner and found the register to be pretty tasty.

The Club (thanks mostly to Stony’s efforts) keeps historic registers for Rhode Island, Connecticut, Indiana, Wisconsin, Idaho, Montana, Mississippi and Michigan.
