Please do indicate where I made any mention that signing a register is "spraying". Thank you.

Believe it or not, there are some humble folks out there that need not spray every frkn thing they do to the world. There are people that do some pretty consistent narly stuff and do not make a peep to anyone about it.

Imagine that.

I don't think you did, but it seemed you insuated it, as another poster had just said that some "might not have signed the registers," etc.
Least that's how I took it. If I interpreted your post incorrectly, my apologies.

Apology not accepted as it is not required.

Appears that you misunderstood my comment. 10-30 years ago, there was no internet. Thus many did not have the vehicle to immediately publish their adventure/s with a slew of photos.

But many of those humble "hardmen" individuals that I am referring to, would certainly not have done so today had they had that ability either.

"Bardini Lives" is one that immediately comes to mind.

Speaking of traverses and the Palisade Traverse how about this one, the Full Monty:

Don't know many, if any, that have done this (Bishop Pass to Taboose Pass) , other than these guys...

Some local hard-man back in the day. He did not bother to sign the registers.

And if you did not take photos you did not do it. Don't forget that please.
