I've been hiking long before cellphones were concieved.  I just got married
two years ago, however, and I still like to talk to my wife every day; no
matter if that's from New York City or sitting on a mountain.  If it makes
her feel better to hear from me every day, I don't think it's unreasonable
to accommodate that.
