e) Good form and effective propulsion on the level
with the one-step and two-step. Rhythm and glide should
be emphasized.
f) Step-turns to right and left at speed of approximately 15 miles per hour.
g) Ascent and descent of a standard course of approximately 1,000 vertical feet if available, but in any event not less than 800 feet. Climbing aids other than appropriate waxing are not permitted, and the candidate must demonstrate a knowledge of appropriate waxing. The course must include the variety of slope and terrain encountered in ordinary touring.
Alternative (for gradual terrain): Cross-country, continuous three-hour tour over variable terrain, with enough
climbing and downhill running to test the stamina and steadiness of the candidate. Rest periods must be restricted to bare minimum required for terrain, altitude, and snow conditions encountered. Climbing aids other than appropriate waxing are not permitted, and the candidate must demonstrate a knowledge of appropriate waxing. Tour must be made at a steady and reasonably aggressive pace throughout.
2) Ability to use properly a topographic map and compass (11).
To demonstrate use of map and compass, the candidate should be able to:
a) Understand the fundamentals of magnetic declina
tion; convert magnetic readings to true readings, and
vice versa.
b) Determine on a map compass bearings of several
courses of a route and explain the use of this informa
tion in a storm; plot on a map a given set of compass
bearings.
c) Explain how to hold a compass course around im
passable obstacles such as cliffs or streams.
d) Orient a map: by compass; by a known location
on the map and a known landmark; by three known land
marks; by sun and watch.
e) Locate position on a map by intersection of lines
from known landmarks.
f) Identify unknown landmarks with the aid of the map; determine intervisibility of two points on a map.
