1.'break' is either a nounal anagram indicator, or in the wrong person I think ('breaks' would work)
2.Needs to be 'alpine breaks' – it's a single word
3.Hurrah for a clue that I can understand!
4.What a pity it wasn't 'breaks'!
5.Anagram indicator should have been 'breaks'. Would have still worked for the surface too
6.Here the word 'alpine' breaks.
