"Her message box is full."
Well of course. After posting that photo of her in the helmet, every hard hat dude in the country is emailing her for a date. :-)

Flouride-
I've got a squeaky clean model of your old, white HB helmet out here in Redlands.
Its barely seen the light of day. I got it AFTER an El Cap aid route.
Let me know if'n your interested.
Fair Market Value... Wife does not abide redhead biscuit discounts.
Oh, and hope you feel better.

A new concept in climbing helmets.
My old company, Wild Country, now makes a two part helmet called the Alpine Shield. The inner is a lightweight foam helmet which can be used by itself and is designed for rock climbing to protect against minor knocks. The outer polycarbonate 'shield' is attached with three screws in a matter of moments and is rugged and very strong.
Glad you survived the brick!

Hola Mark! Great company and welcome to the Taco. The 360 looks very good as well.

They got yer picter on the website here Flouride!
Speaking for myself, I just upgraded to a new $14 Camp helmet when my kid scored my Edelrid and so I am currently building a 3' x 3' plywood structure designed to be clipped to a single bolt to protect me from rocks while belaying. It weights @ 10 lbs, so multipitch routes will be problematical.
Maybe those things aren't all connected. I probably need helmets for my ropes. The plywood will protect any rope on the ground by my belayers feet as it is feeding out.
This bottom one was recently stolen, along with a Black Diamond speed bag it was inside of if anyone happens to see it in the Pac. NW. It had been retired and was given to me, and I was using it exclusively for cleaning projects.

Hey Bart,
Why don't you email Flouride directly if you haven't already--doesn't look like she's checked in on this thread and I KNOW she'd love to get that helmet.
Thanks man.

Here's pics of the Petzl (PUTZL) Meteor helmet I was wearing while struck in the temple by a piton hammer when my partner fell from 30' above me and hit me on his way past.

Maybe true if folks going places where rockfalls are more likely to happen (alpine, walls) wear helmets.
Many (most?) people taking headshots w/o them are prolly not available for comment either.
