Requirement
7. Five knots, each with a use named
Required Often forgotten
Every knot demonstrated AND at least one example given of how it is used in belaying, climbing or rappelling. The second half is easy to leave out.
Notes and warnings
Note. Every one of the five knots needs TWO things: the knot tied, and at least one example of how it is used in belaying, climbing or rappelling. The example is the half that gets left out, and it is in the requirement's opening sentence rather than in the lettered parts, which is why it is easy to miss.
