Requirement
9. The CHECK system, element by element
Required Often forgotten
Identify the elements and describe what each one means to your counselor. This is the check that runs before every one of the eighteen rope sessions.
Notes and warnings
Note. The CHECK system is what runs immediately before a climb or a rappel, so learn it before your first session rather than describing it to your counselor afterwards. You will have eighteen chances to use it.
