    I'm thinking pilot straight out of the bat, because of monarch airline,
    but, there is a Washington Monarch hotel, although that's weak, just like the monarch theatre in phoenix is weak.
    There's are mens boots called the monarch, there's even a company called monarch helicopters.
    There's even a investment firm called monarch alt capital.
    There's a chilling tale called The March of the Monarch about the monarch butterflies getting caught out by a winter storm.
    Then theres the The Monarch March, by Charles Sanglear, marching song.
    Theres a brand of honey called monarch honey.
    oh, monarch airlines ceased trading in 2017, so i'm less happy with pilot.

    Think i'll pass and hope for the best.

    Sunspider was the controversial clue. It's both a web benchmark and weird desert not-a-spider creature, but the creature is usually 2 words. There are some references to it as a single word from reputable sources, and that's the original form of the name apparently but I should have cleared it first.

    4th word for that was Crown because Opera took the Sunspider crown in 2014. Tenuous doesn't even come close.

    Pilot was the last word for monarch, didn't know they'd gone under. Might have gone with prince William but he's a Helicopter pilot so it was risky.

    Shuksan was an alps re-clue to try get Pter off the Kiwi thing for my dwarf clue. Ugh. Just couldn't get the words to fit together.
    Boot was the other word for the gardening clue actually. I had a word for helicopter and fair.

    Sorry Pete.

    think its ok as
    The mountain's name Shuksan is derived from the Lummi word [šéqsən], said to mean "high peak".


    The traditional name of Mount Shuksan in the Nooksack language is Shéqsan ("high foot") or Ch’ésqen ("golden eagle")
    thats quite a diffrent word, so clue should be okay.

    In the book Nooksack Place Names by Allan Richardson, Brent Galloway, even they are unsure if it means golden eagle or not.
    source

    the wikipedia pages cite the nooksacktribe.org website which doent help as its doesnt clarify anything.
    Shéqsan ~ Ch’ésqen – Mt. Shuksan. [high foot ~ golden eagle]

    ah yes, i understand that,


    but if eagle is still active anywhere on the board, you can't clue águila (sp) or Aigle (fr).


    so was just making sure the clue is good, and as far as i can see, it was fine.
