Reliable comms for multi-pitch climbing?
Wind and distance often make shouting between belayer and climber impossible. Are there any rugged walkie-talkies that actually hold up to climbing conditions?

We've had good luck using rugged two-way radios for outdoor climbing, especially models with water and dust resistance. They make communication much clearer than shouting when you're dealing with wind, long routes, or poor visibility. Battery life is another feature worth prioritizing for full-day climbs. While they're designed for different situations, looking at products in the long range cordless phones category can also give you a good idea of what to expect from devices built for extended communication distances. Whatever you choose, test it thoroughly before relying on it during a climb.
