Amidst all the serious discussion about various and sundry climbing exploits, how about a little comic relief from the UK?

Can anyone identify the climbing helmet the brave lead climber is wearing? Careful with your answer; you might date yourself.

OMG! Gotta love Brit humor! So funny!
No guesses on the helmet, sorry.

If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracle of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.

Those were Joe Brown (JB) helmets, named for a famous English climber of the 1960-70's. Almost bomb-proof, but heavy.
