Mountain enshrouded in severe storm (7)
I believe the answer is:
everest
'mountain' is the definition.
(Mount Everest)
'in severe storm' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'EVEREST' can be found hidden inside 'severe storm'.
'enshrouded' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for everest that I've seen before include "Himalayan peak" , "Mount, climbed 1953" , "Highest peak" , "Huge achievement - highest climb" , "Where Hillary was" .)
