It's often climbed in severe storm (7)

I believe the answer is:

everest

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it's often climbed' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'in severe storm' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'EVEREST' is hidden in the letters of 'severe storm'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for everest that I've seen before include "Highest Himalayan mountain" , "A mountain to climb" , "A high spot" , "Mountain named after a British surveyor general of India" , "High peak" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
