>How do you carry it while on the rockface?
I've seen folk use them on multi-pitch alpine routes... they were just the common things you see at ski-resorts, about $50-$100/set I think.
They put the radio in their backpack/camelbak and use one of those wired mic/speaker things (like This but smaller)
that they clip to their shoulder-strap near their mouth.
I thought it was stupid dead-weight, but watching them use it I kinda changed my mind: they could communicate a lot easier in high wind or long/out-of-sight pitches! I won't get one though, we do fine without :)
I think there is another option. Those are kind of expensive.
I got these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0072LAAA0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and then hooked these up https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00000JD34/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and there you go! Two for $100. Seems like you get a sweet deal though so if you can swing it those radios are really nice too, but theyre the same thing.
Radios in the bc are immensely helpful. I got caught in an avalanche last year, but my partner yelled up to me to avoid an area I couldn't see. I didnt hear him. Lots of stories go like that. If you can get an extra for a friend that doesnt have one.
