Forgot to answer your other questions but yes I film with the Gopro and a DSLR. Thanks for the good words!

Cale its a helmet made by Sweet called the Strutter helmet. It is far superior to any climbing helmet and with the brim deflects ice that is headed for the face. It is made as a kayak helmet but the testing standards on kayak helmets are probably higher then climbing testing. I have taken some big hits with it and not been effected slightly.

Trip: Cody Ice Conditions - Date: 11/17/2011 Trip Report: Just put a bunch of photos up on the Coldfear Facebook page on conditions in the South Fork Valley. I will have the main condition page on Coldfear.com updated soon as well with a full detailed report. LIKE the fbook page if you want updates through the season.
