Glider Pilot turns left and goes up

I did my annual check today as a glider pilot today, so I'm all set to go flying in the sailplanes this summer! This is in the foothills above Boulder, Colorado, looking at the continental divide still in the snow. I'm in the back seat of the DG505 two-place glider circling in a thermal and rising at (sometimes) 1000 feet per minute. Max altitude today, right near cloudbase, was 14,600 feet MSL (above sea level). Boulder airport, where we towed from, is at 5300.

Love the sound of a beeping vario!

I was briefed on it a few days ago, it basically tells you how if your going up or down. If i remembered correctly- if the beeping goes up, it goes up.

Hello. What kind of camera?

[@greggdavis]

It's a GoPro Max 360 camera. I like how it fixes to the position and the horizon.

@@georgelindsay4371 it's not a joke. there's two people sitting in that small, cramped cockpit possibly for hours without good ventilation. masks are the only way to somewhat keep the risk down
