I have one left unparsed which is bugging me…

26d. Proclaim last of banns? Not OK spanning that ancient festival climax (4)

I have an answer corresponding to ‘festival climax’ (and perhaps ‘ancient’ is also part of the definition given that Chambers describes the term as obsolete), but I can’t see the wordplay.

Appreciate a hint…

to "out-ask" is to "To proclaim the banns of for the last time"

Brilliant, thanks Buddy. Hope you’re enjoying your hiking trip!
