Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion cell phone coverage on WHITNEY MR

Um, yeah, nothing within the Whitney Zone is "backcountry."

(And I much prefer seeing someone pull out their cell phone on a summit, than spending most of their hike with their nose buried in a GPS screen trying to match waypoints and endlessly braying about "elevation adjustments" and "signal anomalies." Gosh, I sure can't wait until the "texting" SPOTs come out...)
