I have recently found out the most climbing helmets are rated for objects falling on you and not necessarily you falling on your head. I find this disturbing, and was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a climbing helmet that is rated on fall impact?

The foam helmets that are specifically designed for fall/blunt impact, like bike helmets, are not very good in protecting your head from falling objects (stones, gear etc.) If you climb only in a gym, they should be enough. If you climb outdoor too, you'd need to look for a hybrid helmet, hard shell+foam. I think what you're looking for is grivel salamandre or Wild country 360 and alpine shield.
