Lake Placid Day 3 - wave.

One probable Diamond climb, one over 21,000', another just over 18k. More after the paperwork is done. An amazing day. A few pics:

Just as we came out, lennies started popping over Hart Lake:





















Climbing early in the day, through 8400', at 2 kts.



















Through about 10k, strong rotor clouds under nice lennies... but there is more moisture...

























Half an hour later, almost fully overcast, and ceiling lowering... though a hole opened the next Valley over... I decided to land in light rain, first of four (least courageous of four).

End result - one Diamond climb (MSC), one to over 21,000 (Champlain), and mine over 18,000'...

That's why we come to Lake Placid - about a year's worth of experience in one day.  And, the week isn't over!
