It was Kenneth Campbell of Ardgay, Ross-shire. The same guy who carried a barrel of beer to the top to raise funds for cancer research in 1980!?

it would seem so although according to http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=170501

he carried it back down again!

I was listening to radio 5 live today and they covered the story and had a caller who claimed to have been walking back down the mountain when out of the mist came a man carring a piano on his back held on with car seat belts.

He was carring it up for a cancer charity and was going to play it for one whole day after spending three days carrying it up.
The caller said this happened in 1971 which seems earlier than the one that has been discovered, so you never know there just might be anoher one hiding up there:>

two pianos? At this rate they'll be finding a 40-piece orchestra up there.

Just seen the picture of the man carring the piano up ben nevis on BBC Breakfast it was as described on the radio yesterday.

I wonder what tunes they played?

"Ain't no mountain high enough"

"Night on a bare mountain" by Mussorgsky

I wonder what tunes they played?

Scotland the Brave, apparently

see: The Scotsman

Latest news is that it was an organ not a piano and was carried up there in 1971.

once all the pianos and cairns covering them have been removed will ben nevis still be the biggest in britain?

Think it'll probably take them a while to shift 35m off the top.

at about a 1.5 metres to a piano that will be around 22 or 23 of them you would think somebody would have noticed.Also who carried all the stones up to cover them.

Errrrr, the stones were already there........

derr

Now that beats the extreme ironing craze, :o)

Sheds a whoe new light on Sgurr an Fhidleir and the Bass Rock...

whoa, how many fiddles to make a mountain?
