Actually I headed up twice, as I realized upon arrival on launch, that I had left my cockpit and glasses in the car...
As usual, some guys launched early and got up high quickly, so many followed their 'example'. One could clearly see that the thermals very (very) strong. But for almost 2 hours I didn't like the conditions: wind from the East and strong thermal activity. Finally by 1315 conditions had mellowed out and I launched as well.
The waiting was well worth the time, and the day turned out to be a great day here in the Dolomites: cloud base above 3500m with abundant lift, strong, but not (too) rough :-))
