Found these cool relics of past ascents on the summit. I hope they're still there when I someday return...

Missing relics

The two above were gone in Sept, 2004. The square plate at bottom made of soft lead was broken in two. It was placed there in 1933 and I fear that it too will disappear eventually - too many visitors to this summit I'm afraid.

Re: Missing relics

Bob, I'm sorry to hear that they're gone. Maybe they're with all of the missing summit registers?

Re: Missing relics

I think the missing summit registers is a different issue. These plates were probably taken by a souvenir hunter (aka jerk). The summit registers were probably removed by one or more Wilderness Act vigilantes (aka eco-jerks) who believe the summits should remain unblemished.

Re: Missing relics

Damn, they were there as late as 2002. Bad mountain karma should come to those who tamper with summit registers!

we saw them all

I don't think the lead plate was broken by vandalism; it is simply very fragile.
