Leanne,truly excellent critique but I expected no less. On the few points which you made where I shall hold firm it is only because I had already been there!
There are some idiosyncratic nuances of speech which hopefully indicate the tongue in cheek nature of our heroic mountaineers as well as the era in which the tale is set...late 1800's or thereabouts. Just a small point on the cliche "hounds of hell". It is not widely known that the beasts were released in cold and snow so cliche, yes, but apposite.
I will make this work in progress. All received with thanks.
Dis dain....how could I?
Best,
Tectak
