Would it be safe or sensible to do this without a helmet?

I'm really struggling to make this  >

I'm not great with posting links but if you go to "climbing.ie" then look up the gully list and scroll down to slieve beg ............... there's a full list of climbs around the coach road in varying degrees of difficulty.

Do note the "don't be embarrassed to rope up" comment

Perhaps someone could do the link thing

You'll be fine! all a helmet does is protect you from falling rocks, and there's nothing above!
