Rod Baber is in the final preparation stages for an attempt at the summit of Everest, in a bid to make the highest ever mobile phone call. Exactly who he's going to call, I'm not sure. For his sake, I hope it's not Virgin Media, as he's likely to get severe frostbite waiting for a worthwhile response. For what it's worth, Lloyds TSB's waiting times have gone up immeasurably of late too.
Anyway, in describing his team's chances of reaching the summit, he indicates that their chances are very good. "But, it's when Everest lets you climb it, not the other way round", he adds. I think I know what he's getting at, but I'm intrigued as to how the other way round reads. When you let Everest climb you?
