I climbed Cape Horn in 2006 or 2007 but don't see my name on your summit register photos. I wish I could remember more as I now wonder if I didn't go all the way to the summit. As far as the reference to people cheating, I do remember clearly that a fire crew had been helicoptered up there during a wildfire and they had all signed the register (don't know which register). Anyway, I recall thinking that it wasn't very sporTing to sign a register if you got a helicopter ride to the summit

OK, really nitpicky but ...... Cape Horn is at the bottom of South America (that's the Cape of Good Hope at the south end of Africa). ;)

Re: OK, really nitpicky but ...Dang, I should know that. I always got them backwards in school a zillion years ago as well. Thanks.... :-)
