I'm wondering why in an advert for black diamond one of the chaps is wearing a sweet strutter helmet (heavy and not as comfortable as the bd vapour helmets and the fixed peak is surely a hazard in a fall?)
Mulkey always wears one - maybe for the brim? Not sure, you’d have to ask him why. I know he’s a paddler too - he’s done a bunch of first descents in WY
I own a sweet helmet super nice for paddling, but i wouldn't wear it climbing. I feel like its meant for slow speed repetitive hits like being upside down and hitting your head on a couple rocks. Rock helmets would definitely disperse energy better.

Nice Black Diamond made Nomics
That mixed line is so sick
Changing $30+ head weights with gloves on at the top of a climb is a sponsored-athlete activity
In the last climb, Yannicks white tape on tools disappears and appears again... did you seriously make him climb it twice? :D

Seems to be the style for ice climbers. Bring keeps ice out of your face.

@Black Diamond Equipment - will you be having the Hydra at the Ice Climbing Ecrins Fest 2025 booth? For demo/renting?
