How Can Paragliders Climb Above the Cloud? | Technical 125km Mountain XC Explained

Let me know in the comments what you think about the extra detail! This was a challenging mountain XC flight the south westerly wind in the morning meant the climbs were mostly in the lee side, coupled with the cloud below the tops in the morning it was important to climb as high as possible to make the transitions. Several times I was able to climb above the cloud, in this video I explain how it was possible. Here's the track log: https://www.xcontest.org/newzealand/f...
