Starting a lead rack; The Helmet
In 2004, incidents recorded by the England and Wales Mountain Rescue services show head injuries were second only to fractures, second only by one incident. This implies that if I do have to call out mountain rescue while climbing, it’ll likely be the cause of a head injury.
As such, I bought a bright orange helmet. This model comes in many colours, many are more cool, but I’m happy with visibility over style.
The helmet is designed and manufactured by Black Diamond, and it’s model name is the “Half Dome“. Weighing in a 345g it’s quite light, and it seems to be well ventilated.
