Mount Woodworth

Last week I ascended Mount Woodworth, at the southern end of the Black Divide in Kings Canyon NP. This otherwise unremarkable peak was formerly renowned for hosting the oldest summit register in the Sierra, placed in 1893 during the first recorded ascent. I say formerly, since the RCS replaced the original register in 1992. Mine was the 13th recorded ascent since the register was replaced 26 years ago. On page 1 of the register it is written "Please do not remove this register until all pages are filled". My entry completed page 5 of the 100 page register. At the present rate the register will be filled in around 500 years. Nice to know some future peak bagger will be reading my entry in the year 2518.
