A Telephone Call From The Top Of Mt. Everest


There are few places in the world where you will not find someone speaking into a mobile phone. And if you thought you could climb to the top of Mount Everest to escape cell phones, you would be wrong. Rod Baber, a British climber, called home from the world's highest point on Monday morning, thanks to some help from China Telecom. "It's cold, it's fantastic … I can't feel my toes," Baber said. The peak of Mount Everest is 8,848 meters high.
