WHEN Jonathan Wooldridge was staggering down the side of a Himalayan mountain clutching stab wounds, the last possible thought that could have entered his mind was that his ordeal would become part of an after-dinner board game.

But now Jonathan's high altitude horror is recalled in a Trivial Pursuit question. It is a sort of immortality in itself.
