Scots Involved in Extreme Mountain Challenges

BBC News Online appears to be running a short series of extreme mountain features involving Scottish climbers. So here are some links to some weekend reading.
The first tells the story of Pauline Sanderson, from Strathspey. She was part of a team which completed the world's longest climb last year, cycling from the Dead Sea - the lowest point on Earth - before ascending Everest. Also among the team was her husband Phil, making them the first married couple to climb Everest.
The second is the story of how two members of the Loch Lomond Mountain Rescue Team, Martin McCallum and Ian Dawson, climbed the Denali in Alaska - the highest mountain in America at 20,320ft.
