I'm a climber with a 5+ month old. When it warms up this summer, I'd like to occasionally bring my daughter out to the crag. It's going to introduce some extra overhead and slow down the pace of climbing. I don't expect childless folks will want to deal with the extra trouble. That's why I'm hoping to find other parents that would like to bring their kid(s) out. I figure if we team up to have a group of 3 or more, we can rotate between climber, belayer, and babysitter. My wife climbs a little bit, so that could be 2. Any parent or parents out there interested in teaming up to climb with the kids?
BTW, as far as skill level, I lead 5.9 sport and have done a bunch of trad belaying/following. I've been climbing for many years with interruptions here and there. Not climbing the hardest stuff in the world at the moment but always looking to get out and get better.
Also, in case any experienced parents of older kids stumble across this post, feel free to drop any advice you may have. Doing stuff with a kid is all new to me, obviously, and I'm hoping to make it work.

We are in Louisville and have two small boys that hang with us while we climb all the time. I know some good " kid friendly " climbing spots. My schedule is very flexible, being a stay at home dad.
