I'm actually back from the OCR for a few hours...
But, couple of quick notes:
Technically, I don't think there's anything in the curriculum that refers to the T-system. I recall (and actually Nzcaver was there) learning about them in New Mexico when an IQ student was trying to help us help one of our fellow Level 2 students who was struggling with how to figure MA. So not all instructors may be familiar with it. However, I think it's a handy tool to have in your bag of tricks. Definitely useful to know.
And yes, I think the points you and NZcaver make are good ones. We've got only a week to teach as much as we can. And I definitely agree, that there's a real advantage to learning different and in some cases even the same skills from multiple places.
Maybe one of these years I'll find the time to take an On Rope1 course. There's a few courses I'd like to take, just time...
Cavers rescue cavers!
