S (first check letter) comes from the end of this clue:

15D Malnutrition causing a child's weight to be much less than expected (8)

?A?A?M?? which is almost certainly MARASMUS

I think 15D requires noun rather than adjective

Also CRACKS I don't think is right here for 26A

The third letter of 26A might be Y giving

Clefts or hollows between hills S?Y?K?
