I wear a helmet only when I think there is a real risk of rock fall, or a wierd swing. The fact that I do most of my climbing on obscure cliffs in the Gramps means that I wear a helmet most of the time. So far I have only been hit on the head by rockfall once, and that time I was wearing a helmet, so I've got it right so far. Let's be honest. Even the lightest climbing helmets are hot and not particularly comfortable. They significantly reduce the enjoyment of climbing in hot weather. Just like bike helmets. As for wearing helmets when driving, thats what the racers do, so why not? If your helmet gets too hot when your'e driving, just turn the A/C up. Try doing that on a cliff. James Mc
