This is really fun reading.

It is a collection of summit registers for Mt Starr King that was assembled and extensively researched and commented on by Bill Amborn. More recently, Mark Spencer has photographed the years from 1981 to the present (last weekend kind of present (6/15/2013)) and is handing over the photos to be added to the original file to make it current.
This is not only entertaining to read but clearly a labor of love thanks to all of the hard work put into it by Bill and Mark. The detail of the research put into every page is astounding. For the original years of 1931 to 1982, there is even an index where you can look up the page where a name is on showing the entry. As I understand it, this feature is slowly being integrated with the later entries, too.
Thanks for doing this guys.
