I am looking for an article from several years ago that discussed the
relative importance of climb rate as compared to speed to fly between

selection and optimal use of best thermals. If anyone remembers where
this
article is , I would appreciate your helping me find it. Thanks, SZ

Maybe in the Soaring Symposia?
