Re: [Philmont]: Cell Phones at Philmont

Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. You probably won't have good enough reception to use it anyway, unless as one person posted, you are on top of Baldy or Phillips. We got one call out from on top of Phillips but lost signal after that.

Overall, I consider it safety gear and not something to use regularly. If you plan to really use it, you probably won't be able to. But if you need it and can, it will be worth it's weight in gold.
