Norman Heathcote[edit]

Landing on Stac Lee (from St Kilda)

  • ... that when Norman Heathcote climbed the St Kilda sea stack Stac Lee (pictured) in 1899, he found the climbing "comparatively easy" but getting ashore had been "a most appalling undertaking"?

Created by Thincat (talk). Self nominated at 08:00, 4 June 2014 (UTC).

  • Article was nominated within 7 days of its creation, has well over 1,500 characters of prose, and is well-formatted and referenced. The hook fact is cited and expanded upon in the article. My spot-checking did not reveal any plagiarism issues. The hook is 193 characters including the "(pictured)". The image has rollover text, is used in the article, and is in the public domain in the US (although possibly not in its home country). Good work! --Brian the Editor (talk) 21:27, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
