		<description><![CDATA[While the tale related here still lacks a clear end (or at least the one it was &#8216;supposed&#8217; to have), it most definitely began some thirty years ago with my first reading (as a mountain-mad teenager) of No Picnic on Mount Kenya, Felice Benuzzi&#8217;s thrilling tale of his audacious wartime attempt on that great peak: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While there are many great rock climbs at Polldubh, Storm (HVS 4b,4c,5a) is the undisputed classic in taking a compellingly natural and sensationally exposed line in three pitches of increasing difficulty up the biggest and best wall on the crags. And I&#8217;d done it just once before (22 July 1990), with my 21-year-old memory of [...]]]></description>

So time to tell [...]]]></description>

Polldubh. And I climbed the first three pitches of Autobahnausfahrt on High Crag with Noel, finding them dirty and feeling harder [...]]]></description>
