How to Choose a Climbing Helmet?

• Check the size and fit: the helmet should stay stable without being uncomfortable.
• Evaluate the type: hard shell (resistance to multiple impacts) or foam (lighter).
• Look at ventilation and compatibility with a helmet for via ferrata if necessary.

Before each outing, check the wear of the rope, straps, and carabiners. Follow the standards indicated on each product and take a training course to learn the proper belaying techniques. To improve grip, chalk for climbing with fast delivery can be handy before an intense session.
