19、or as a member of a team, inmountainous terrain.4.1.2 Every person who is identified as Mountain Endorsedshall meet the requirements of this guide.4.1.3 Mountain Endorsed individuals shall be entitled to addthe prefix “Mountain Endorsed”) to their current traininglevels.4.2 This guide only establish

20、es the minimum knowledge,skills, and abilities required for a person to operate in moun-tainous terrain as a part of a larger team. No other skills areincluded or implied.4.3 Mountain Endorsement only indicates that personnel arequalified to operate safely and effectively in mountainousterrain in th
