Communication

[Kasandra]

Hey guys, what do you use to communicate with one another while climbing?

[grubbster]

What is your definition of "climbing"?

[Kasandra]

Ohh I am sorry, I meant hiking

[moldy]

cell phone, email,text, and shelter log books

We used to use homing pigeons, but the thru hikers kept eating them.

I frequently use my voice and facial expressions along with hand motions, body language.

You know what they say, keep your climbing buddies close and you mother-in-law, well, you don't need to communicate with her anyway. In my case, she's dead, and I actually miss her and the only way to communicate would be through some kind of spirit medium I suppose. ;-)

Okay, back to what you probably really want to know, it's pretty well addressed above except, if you don't have cell phone and you need/want to communicate quickly and/or broadly, the Garmin InReach satellite communicators or the new Spot X all allow relatively affordable remote, 2-way communication via texts.
