Now a group of removal men say that they took the piano up 20 years ago for a charity stunt. They had meant to bring it down again, but ran out of breath! Seems like climbers need to watch out for a variety of musical hazards when ascending the mountain as there's supposed to be brass instruments and even a drum kit up there as well, somewhere!

I heard a piece on NPR about the piano. Must get pretty boring in the UK.
