Notes:
There was enough light lift coming off the cliffs to take us to 1300m. Joined Hotzak who sky'ed out S of the cut but I couldn't get up as quickly/high as he did. Flew there for a while then jumped to other side of ridge when catabatic started. Shortly afterwards the other side of the lake was in shade and everything started to go up. Steve's friends met us in the LZ with beverages.
