Chief, I don't climb anymore. These days I'm just having fun in a hilly terrain.
In all my years of real climbing, I wore helmet most, if not all the time. Once in a while, we went on a trip, where pack weight was such an issue that we talked about cutting our food down, or not bringing helmet. So on some pretty hard (at least for me) trips I didn't wear helmet, but not because I didn't want to. I sacrificed safety for a few ounces of less weight. Calculated (foolish?) risk, not macho attitude...
