Frenchmans Couless, Vantage Wa. Cell Phone Reception?

Planning a trip to Vantage for Spring Break. My wife, who is pregnant and due just a couple weeks after the trip is allowing me to go, on one condition: that I have cell phone reception in case the baby comes early. Plus I don't really want to miss the birth of my first born.

I haven't really been able to find anything conclusive as to whether there would be reception there or not. My provider is Verizon and I have an Iphone 5, maybe people with a similar setup can comment on reception.

Thanks.

AT&T has service there. I would assume Verizon does as well.

Yes, it's not the type of place where you're going to have full bars constantly. But you'll be able to find out if your wife's gone into labor without much hassle.

Enjoy your trip. Vantage is one of the most underrated climbing areas I've ever been to. I miss that place a lot.

This is great everyone. Thank you for the replies. Here's to hoping there will be no freak-snow storms mid March. This will actually be my first time there, but I have climbed quite a bit of the same kind of rock (Black Cliffs Boise, Massacre Park Idaho and other random areas in Southeast Idaho).

Side question. I keep reading about how busy it gets, and that there are these Spring and Summer time concerts. Is this just a weekend thing? I am planning on going during the week.

I wouldn't be concerned with Crowds. The concerts are in the Summer generally

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
