I stumbled across this cowboy helmet this morning and now I can't stop dreaming about my epic new way to achieve instagram climbing fame. Any reason this would be unsafe for climbing?


PS Anyone have any leads on some climbing boots with spurs for dry-tool-style heel hooking?

Does it have a Go-Pro mount?

I really quite hate what I'm looking at.

I figure this is a way to attract tree-hugging, kombucha-drinking climber ladies and farmer hick ladies all at the same time.

Just as long as you lasso up a horn or chickenhead for your top rope then I think this badboys safe to wear.

I’ve seen this guys before and it’s for equestrian purposes, it would be really heavy for climbing. They also make a cowboy hard hat which for reason only truck drivers wear.

Austin Howell (RiP) used to climb in cowboy boots resoled with climbing rubber. That was probably my favorite thing he did. I plan to do it someday when it’s time to replace my boots.

Also, you can/should just buy a $15 cowboy hat from the local ranch store and glue it to your standard climbing helmet.

Dude hell yeah. 


Where I come from, Rodeo Clipping is a state pastime and, occasionally, a competitive sport. As it should be everywhere.

Legend has it Ryan Weiche once clipped the arch in a single revolution. Yeeeeehaw!
