Prescott does very well, IMVHO.

Well, no details yet except that it looks like they got to 1450m. *On
top meant VFR above the clouds, naturally;^)

Puts the whee! in Weedle though.

Looks like about 3030 meters of 5 mm Dyneema. Can't tell details on

A nearly 50% height to length ratio is very good.
