Few stories illustrate as clearly the differences between old and new media.
For starters, it's an old story. Secondly, if I had been news editor, I would not even have bothered reporting it then.
For more than a century, people have been taking all sorts of things up the mountain either as publicity stunts or for charity. In 1911, a Ford Model T was driven up the rocky path, and since then there have been any number of pianos, organs, wheelbarrows, beds and barrels of beer carried to the top. (Someone even carried up the bits and pieces needed to pole dance on the summit.)
So it's not surprising that the remains of a piano or organ should be found buried under rocks on the summit. Having carried or pushed these oddities up, there is an understandable reluctance to take them back down.
So much rubbish has been left on the summit, there are regular calls for volunteers to help clean up the mountain.
