I counted 8 paper or cardboard signs on the summit. If you need to hold up a cardboard sign in your summit photo, don't worry, you're set.

If you're hiking with a group of 8, and you all need to hold a sign, you're good.

One of the signs included the elevation in meters, so if you don't like imperial units, you'll still be alright.

One of the signs was laminated, so if there's a torrential rain storm, that one should still be there.

A 9th sign said "Torreys peak", so if you're unsure which mountain you've climbed, you can do an additional photo with that one.

I'm hoping that this info can help you go lighter and not carry your own sign up. I've heard that those cardboard things are really heavy, you might get so tired that you have to abandon it on the summit and add it to the pile.

Thanks for the report Peter. I was thinking to bring a couple up this weekend. Will any of the signs mount to a dog?

I think so

But there's a chance that someone else won't have a dog for their summit photo, so maybe you should leave the dog up there to be helpful?

I was planning to bring up my masonry kit to build an edifice on the summit. Leave no trace? Sure, no trace of the natural summit.

Ive got nothing against the signs on the summit, as long as you carry it with you and either pass it on to a fellow hiker or repack it and take it with you. Sure it seems touristy and cheesy but it will be a good reference to tell your friends and family about.

There goes my idea of setting up a summit sign stand...signs for rent sale or barter. Maybe a nice shrubbery shed and selfie stick emporium.
