I’m curious (as a fairly new glider pilot), what’s the highest altitude you’ve taken your 1-26 Glider?

Woah, I can’t image if that would be beautiful, terrifying or both!
I’ve had mine (1-26, s/n 101) to 17,900′. It was wonderfully cold up there while it was 100* on the ground. The one thing that sucked: I was still going up at close to 800 fpm when I pulled the spoilers to start down!
33,600 feet in 1-26E N606GF. Back in the late 80s out of Westcliffe, CO
