Hi, Unless one is free climbing. The highest I have ever free climbed was a 65 foot cliff. That was fun and interesting. I was 38 at the time. I found going back down to be much more err um interesting. And, I have been blind all my life.
As for the phone, I wovld definitely take it with me. That is why I make sure I have phone insurance. I also have a few different GPS apps, including one which gives me the raw coordinates (I will need a new one when iOS 11 comes out). Oh, And, I have taken several of my guide dogs camping and hiking. Each dog handles it differently. I do not believe I would ever take my current guide dog camping. She is much too precious (sensitive) for that sort of working environment. I had a couple guide dogs who were like mountain goats. They would not have had any difficulties with the outhouse situation as described. My current one probably would not be able to handle it very well at all.
