Katy who?

If I was dumb enough to climb a mountain like that in winter (I'm not) I don't think it would much matter how much stuff i took with me, EXCEPT FOR A FULLY CHARGED CELL PHONE AND A GPS.
See it goes like this: I call and say I'm in trouble and here's where I'm at according to my GPS positioner. the rescuers pin-point my location within about 3 feet or so.
Wouldn't that make sense? Kinda makes it easier I'd think.
I know some places don't have phone reception but this guy did.
