Well, to get this couple of hundred feet higher, you might have to slow down
and get closer to the ridge...

I interpreted Martin's comments as a matter of degrees. Ridge soaring
one wingspan from the ridge is a different level of risk (and skill)
than lolling around 30 kts (50 kts?) slower and a couple hundred feet
higher.
