Long before cell phones were invented I spent the weekend climbing on Whitehorse and Cathedral with a college group.
One of our parties started up Cathedral late in the day and finished the last pitch by headlamp. I was with the leader's girlfriend, a non-climber, who was apoplectic.
Somebody (not us) saw the lights and called the authorities. They showed up with a huge bullhorn on a trailer, pointed it at the cliff and told our buddies to flash three times if they were ok. They flashed, and the authorities left.
We all waited at the trailhead to watch the leader's girlfriend rip him a new one.
