There was a narrow window for maximizing altitude. Launching from Crestline around 1:30 pm helped Ladi reach 11 k, and later landed in Yucaipa. With that much altitude, maybe a single glide sufficed.
I launched Crestline around 2:15 pm, and reached 7200′. Tagged Arrowhead, return to Crestline, then Pine and Crestline before heading for the LZ and landing 3 hours later.
A good turnout of pilots for a weekday, who perfected the art of good excuses at work.
Thanks to Ana, for this one of me & David over Crestline…

Premium MemberMy first XC attempt on my new Laminar 12.6! I launched at 1:22 and quickly climbed out with a gaggle of PGs. Easy going to Keller and then Yucaipa where I saw the last PG. Climbed back up from the front ridge to Galena which I’ve tagged a number of times and then tagged San Gorgonio for the first time!! A long easy glide back to Crestline and AJX from 13K. I was happy to see so many “sick” pilots on a weekday at AJX .
