Thanks @jayna! A lot of the peaks in the Sierra Nevada have summit registers, but not all of them. And they're all different. Some are nice metal capsules that the Sierra Club put out there, a lot of them are in old ammo boxes, a lot are in small plastic jars. Some are in tiny little bottles hidden among the rocks that can be almost impossible to find! It's always fun to look through them though. Some get filled up and some sit for years without a single signature. I've seen some signatures in summit logs that were almost 100 years old! As far as boots go, I buy heavy duty mountaineering style boots so they can last me a couple years. I used to buy cheaper ones, but I'd tear 'em up pretty quick.

Wow, it must be amazing look through those capsules, especially when there are signatures from long ago! I don’t remember finding those when I hiked that area back in the day.
