If you have had to go through rehab for a head/brain injury, relearned how to walk, use your arms, etc, you may find the "inconvenience or uncoolness" of wearing a helmet negligible. The trade routes in Squamish often have people above...Exasperator i...

BC Parks built a descent trail last October from the top of the Papoose down to the base. The trail heads east from the summit, instead of west (like the old trail), and drops you down quite expeditiously to the base. No need to rap if you don't want to.
