Parents with climbing experience and Belay cards are welcome to help belay youth until all members pass Belay test. Parents are also welcome to join to learn how to get a belay card so we can have more kids climbing for longer. Parents can belay each other while kids are bouldering.
A Project Leader will contact you with event locations, dates and times. If you do not hear from your project leader and your youth membership has been approved by county, please contact Redwood 4-H Enrollment Coordinator at 4hredwoodenrollment @ gmail.com (remove spaces around @ ).
