    Is it realistic that it is possible to climb to a height of almost 800 m AGL from the Sion concrete runway in a strong headwind?

    I think there is no custom winch position set in Sion yet so you get 1500m of rope. Now, in the real world my personal best from just 1200m was 750m AGL. So 800 from 1500m cable length should be realistic.
