What a wonderful area to fly Paicolman, here in Australia our mountains are your foothills! Beautiful,stunning and a fly for you to remember.To reduce my fatigue, I would use my v.g., even half helps a lot to reduce bar pressure when pulling in. Staying close to the basebar and lowering your front also helps to reduce tiredness.Landing was fair...just keep flairing and run under the glider so it falls behind you...I should remember to take my own advise sometimes
