Really? What type of multi-pitch do you usually climb? Seems on a good number of mulit-pitch climbs, at some point you go around a corner, pull a roof, or go around an arrete and you can be out of sight within 50 feet of the belay. And on windy days that might also be out of ear shot.
The OP was asking about Tuolumne. Most of the popluar routes have bolted belays. Be rather a drag to stop up short just because it is windy (which it usually is in the afternoon).
