Then obviously it wouldn't be worth the risk, would it.
If you were to SLIP, TRIP or FALL you could be kicking your self in the butt for quite a while.

(Buuuut you COULD arrange for a helicopter to pick you up for the return trip, I suppose! ;))
The American Southwest is a spectacular place but it can also be deadly to the unwary or unprepared. Fall or seriously injure yourself in the wilderness and you are in trouble. Contacting help by cell phone is frequently impossible in many areas and if you have a companion, the only option is to have them return to civilization to summon help. ALWAYS CARRY WATER WITH YOU!

Which is why packing a satellite cell phone with ya is a darned good idea when mucking about in remote areas. ;)
My iPhone 14 Pro has built-in Satellite connectivity for emergency use off the grid. I am frequently deep in the desert mountains of Arizona and while I’ve not had to use the service yet, it’s comforting to know it’s there.
