Manmade objects don't count. So the MCH is in the
garden of the villa, 162 m high.
right in the corner where the border comes up the stairs of the French Chemin des Salines and meets
the Route de la Moyenne
Corniche, behind the wall that sepatares the villa ground from the external
world. (If the lady had not been in my neck this would have made an excellent
plase to pee - such places are rare in
Monaco!).
If I considered manmade objects I would run into
difficulties with the Vatican (top of St. Peters!), Denmark (pylons on the
Oresund bridge), and a couple of other countries. So I stick to "natural naked superficial earth", occasionally also for sleeping on my
highpoints, if nobody is around, under the stars, up in the
sky.

ahh
well i still cant
either see or visualize this too well yet
but forgetting about mcw & mcsw
& frmcw & frmcsw for the moment
let alone mcfrw
are you
indicating that mch at least is not in fact a point on the roof
or the
weathervane or tv dish etc
of this very villa
situated within monaco
but rather a point on the surface of the earth somewhat beneath or beside
this villa
& that you dont consider manmade objects to be part of
your manmade countries
but will claim your triumphs only on the highest
points of natural naked superficial earth
but maybe i am only
incorrectly imputing this to you
& merely imagining you must be like so
many others of your fraternity who think this way
for i have really never
understood this commonly expressed preference of highpointers
& have
always wanted to ask about it
if not question it outright
as if man
& his creations werent even part of nature
or the highpointer part of
humanity
or humanity part of divinity
for such exclusion seems only
highly arbitrary & highly peculiar to me
but perhaps thats what you
mean by hoity toity
for i did after all see you sitting on the hoity
& not just on the toity at rockall
but have i misunderstood you
or the facts somewhere
