If i'm stranded at middle of cliff and cannot use my phone.
If i drop my phone while on rope because i upset too much.
once I dropped one of Walkie-Talkies of my mate from the top of 3P of Bunny BB while top belaying. it didn't have anything to tying in.
my phone didn't have a good coverage at Pierces Pass. sometimes off sometimes on.
I once stepped on my handset while belaying and it died instantly. So i've got a cover for the new one. On the other day my new handset had flat battery in the early afternoon even I had charged it overnight. Although i'm not talking over the phone often at the crag, the battery life is until the evening normally. I'm sure the battery life becomes shorter than this if i use it to talk often to 000. so i am thinking to buy a spare battery or two.
Need to think some back ups all the time while keeping my weight minimum.
