C3 Massive/N Mass Helmet Worthy?

[JQDivide]

The few Class 3 Sections between Massive and North Massive... are they worthy of a helmet?
Didn't see any helmets in the photos in the TRs.

Thanks

It felt like there were a number of ways to get from Massive to N Massive and it didn't cross my mind to wear a helmet. I usually stick to the helmet for Class 3 and above mantra but I didn't really think of it as Class 3. It reminded me more of the rocks around the summit of Harvard or Yale maybe.

There was a fair bit of snow when I was there, which we worked to avoid. So maybe any Class 3 was covered in snow.

All that said, there were some microwave size blocks that were tipsy. One rolled out from under me for a painful/embarrassing fall but no danger of tumbling down the mountain. I'm guessing since the route we were using to avoid snow doesn't see as much traffic, it may have been a little more unstable.

I never felt the need for one. plus, the subpeaks see very little traffic compared to the main summit, so there won't be a bunch of people kicking rocks down on you.
