4(b). Top-rope climbing, lead climbing and bouldering, explained
Required
Explained only. Nothing on this badge asks you to lead climb or to boulder.
Notes and warnings
Note. Explained, not done. Nothing on this badge asks you to lead climb or to boulder, which is worth knowing, because requirement 5(d) also has you demonstrate the signals between boulderers and their spotters. Both are knowledge requirements about activities the badge never sends you to do.
