Say NO to the sharpie summit
Sign a summit register. Don't sign a rock.
No register? Then don't sign anything.
It will be ok, it's not that important we/you/I write our names or the name of a mountain while on the summit. Isn't our/your/my brain enough to commemorate the experience? Mind a little fuzzy? Take a picture then. (My mind is sometimes fuzzy too, I'm not picking on you.)
It really is that simple!

Re: Say NO to the sharpie summit
GRRRRRR...damn Sharpies. I hope you turned the rock over or removed it from the area as to not encourage others. I hate when folks do this...
"Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life..."

Re: Say NO to the sharpie summit
And if you come across one of these eyesores, please bury the rock text facing down in the summit cairn/wind block. If there is no pile of rocks, place it on the ground text facing down away from the summit. Thank you.

Re: Say NO to the sharpie summit
Jon K had the right idea, just toss a grafitti'd rock down a couloir.

Re: Say NO to the sharpie summit
Who here remembers the "Elbert Lameness" thread from about 10 years ago? Classic, should have been in the Hall of Fame. I searched for it some time ago but couldn't find it, Bill must have deleted it.
I look up to the mountains - does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! Psalm 121:1-2
