High-level typing has become a tradition in the typosphere. Swiss mountain air in particular seems to attract the local typospherians. So we started early, and I tell you it was worth the trip... for the glory of the typosphere, and your entertainment only: MATTERHORN TYPING
You can best reach the Matterhorn by train, going up to Zermatt and then taking the small train up to approximately 3100 m / 10170 ft. From there, you enjoy a spectacular view of the Alpine panorama, including the Matterhorn, 4.478 m / 14.692 ft.
The mission was spearheaded by two experienced mountaineers aka agents S. and M. On site, we could recruit two more agents for the mecascriptophile cause. See for yourselves:

Gorgeous scenery! And, of course, a Montana would be the best typewriter to take up a mountain -- that is, if an Alpina was too heavy.
ResponderBorrarThe Alpina was too heavy indeed :)
BorrarThat is wonderful! I like the bird photobomb - is that a raven or a crow, or something else?
ResponderBorrarTerrific post.
Thank you! It might be a daw.
BorrarBreathtaking! I think you win Typosphere Photo of the Year award for this one:

Thank you Ted!
BorrarI totally agree. That's an amazing picture!
BorrarNow that's an interesting place to type! Love it.
ResponderBorrarTemperature was nice (just around 0° celsius), with almost complete calm and lots of sun it felt much warmer.
BorrarMy guess is the bird is an alpine chough. Did it have a yellow beak? You pushed a boundary here Georg. Impressive.
ResponderBorrarThank you Rob, and I think you are right: it most probably is a yellow-billed chough.
BorrarGlad the sound of typing didn't start an avalanche . . . .
ResponderBorrarHaha, I hadn't thought of that and probably came close to causing a major damage, i.e. revolution.
Borrarfast typing in thin air at toblerone moutain!!!
ResponderBorrarcongrats
Is it a raven? is it a crow? No, it's Typospigeon!
ResponderBorrarHaha!! Awesome. But what about the hypoxic typing contest?? ;-)
