5.Q1. Use Source A (Lines 6-13) "When I asked Alan to help me bag my first Munro, we agreed on Lochnagar near Balmoral, but
this morning, on the drive in from Deeside, Alan scratched that notion. He was up there yesterday
with a client, and Lochnagar was one big sheet of ice. And only last week two climbers fell, one
to his death, from an icy Lochnagar gully. Instead we opt for Glas Maol in Glenshee, an 'easier
Munro involving a much shorter walk in. He won't hear me complaining about that, even if, after
barely ten yards' walking from the car park, we are already negotiating crusty snow, and I'm
learning my first lesson, how to 'kick' the edges of my boot soles into the slope, to create grip out
of nothing."
