+1 to incorporating either Oskar Echenstein or Henry Grivel into the
release tagline, in deference to their role as pioneers in designing
innovative tools.

Some cool inspiration, "Mountain guide Ulrich Inderbinen makes his
370th and last ascent of the Matterhorn, before his 90th birthday"
(1990), wow.
The first is a bit ominous, "I see my comrades of the Matterhorn
slipping on their backs, their arms outstretched..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Whymper (1865) . To the rescue,
"Oskar Eckenstein asked Henry Grivel to manufacture the first modern
crampons 1909." http://www.grivelgb.co.uk/info/history/
My brother is an avid mountaineer and experienced the same slipping
situation with roped in climbers. They survived by using strong
engineered rope and holding light, short one handed ice axes, also
apparently pioneered by Oskar Eckenstein.
Innovative tool makers help climbers to succeed and survive. The Qs to
the James Bonds of the world. They would make good tag lines for
Matterhorn Marketplace along with the climber tags for the releases.

Hi all,
as we went to the open tickets, we found the one that reads "come up
with a tag line for 1.4". We started brainstorming and you can find
some of the ideas on the ticket. In addition, Xavier came up with an
interesting idea: Why don't we name the Matterhorn releases after the
climbers that managed to reach the top? [1] could guide us in chosing
the right names. This would immediately bulk-resolve all upcoming
"name the release" tickets :-)
