Thanks for sharing Yves. Can I assume you got that high due to a wave? If so, it makes me wonder what the ride through those conditions is like in a jet.
Hi Bruce, Yes that was wave. I guess it must be a bit bumpy inside the jet. However it was not extremly turbulent on that particular day. The full flight with comments is now available here: ua-cam.com/video/yHdAk9alwX8/v-deo.html
ATC: "And jet pilots, try not to look surprised when you see a glider above you".
Cool!

busy fly uh?
So, what was the point of this video?
Most likely to share a bit of his life with us
To show how height capable gliders are these days, despite it clearly being a winters day?
