The Nuthouse to Top Land at the Alternator to The T

4K over launch without leaving its spine is probably a good omen! gained another K turning in smooth/strong lift crossing the river and cruising with the tail along the high ridge in back of whiteledge. i cant recall seeing anyone go up faster than marty did @ the bumps: impressive climbing- the kind of lift you're not sure you wanna be in- but c'mon yeah u do! strongest lift i've felt thru the pass and it was my highest and most scenic flight thru it. it was best to hang onto the high ground and let the good times roll. topped alternator with chris, and ken picked me up on the road to save me from the slidy climb back to launch. top landing gives me a great feeling- you suspend your xc and get to kindof enjoy it while time stands still. warms my heart to see more than 2 pilots at the nuthouse!!
