When I made my run Friday afternoon the DA was 26xx feet.

Got there Sat. at 9:00am and it was already t-shirt warm. By 10 it was hunt for shade warm and climbing fast.
It topped out in the low 80s but the DA sucked as the baro was in the basement.

Nice job

Is that your first time running a 6 in the 1/8?

I will be testing my new solid roller setup in this heat next week so it probably won't run great but we'll see. Later
