T-Shirts (Ellenville)

I had my first low save, non-ridge-based thermal climb, and trip to cloud base at the national fly-in at Ellenville in 1994. I was 200 feet over the house near the LZ, bumped into something, started turning, and climbed until the sun was blocked out. Thousands of climbs later and I can still remember the thrill of escaping the LZ and marveling at my great height at the top of that climb.
