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.
