Hey Condo,
I have to agree with Wendy here. I've been climbing for about 6 years and i don't think i've ever seen a piece of gear rip. (and i've seen some pretty dodgy looking ones hold!) Given that it was a crack i'd have to say the the placement of the gear (or selection of the piece) was the problem here. I own a helmet and use it every now and then but more for lose rock than anything else. By all means wear one it you want. My advice would be: Take your time as you progress from follower to leader, Look at all the placements your leader makes, discuss them and judge the quality of them. I hope you can find a menot that is willing to spend this time with you as i did. It really helped. Buy a climbing specific helmet i think! |
