Dr Mike Brennan (OA 1976) is at this moment preparing to make his attempt to climb to the summit of Mount Everest. He is in the same climbing party as Sir Ranulph Fiennes, and the group was stuck at base camp with all communications equipment confiscated by the Nepalese Army while the Chinese climbed to the summit with the Olympic Torch. Now the torch has made its trip to the highest point in the world, the climbers can begin to prepare for their summit attempt.
Couriers have managed to reach Mike at base camp, carrying a St Albans School flag, which he intends to take up to Everest's summit with him, though he is a little concerned by its size. You can keep up to date with his summit attempt by visiting his blog.
