Hemmings and his Tdi auto truck cab, taken by co driver and waffle
mover extraordinaire John Grisley. This was peak 3, one thousand
three hundred and twenty feet above the level of the same sea
just visible in the picture, Loch Alsh to be precise. They were
the first to scale it having completed peaks 1 and 2 on day one,
