How the hell do you fumble a helmet? I had this clipped to my pack on the
approach to Lost Arrow Spire, and at the end of the LONG approach hike, I set
the pack down on a slab. Later, I went to open the pack up (in a slight hurry,
to dig out my radio, because I couldn't find Shanjean) and my helmet started
ROLLING down the slab. I chased after it, but not too quickly, lest I start
ROLLING down the slab. I watched as it rolled for probably fifty yards, took
a left turn at a boulder, and disappeared over the edge. It probably fell 1500
feet before it even hit anything. I felt like such an idiot. Fortunately, I
found Shanjean soon after that. I used her helmet (actually Aaron's, borrowed
for her use) on the climb, and she did without.
