I'm seeing an inversion from 8 to 12 on the baloon data; is there something else I'm not seeing that makes things worthwile?

The cycles at launch were nice and light.Alex a (paragliding) pilot and I topped out at 12,300 deep in the chute behind take off Johnathon tried the lower route and got low in the chute. Both landed on the north side. Unfortunately upon arriving at the west end of Frazier met a strong northeast head wind. At the antanaes at Frazier, and in the lee I flew back to the nearest cloud and rebooted. I tried a different line to the Libres flying up the southside, unfortunately I was down to 6500' and about a 1000' feet too low to connect with the first clouds. Flushed off to 138 approx. 2 miles east of Quail Lake. The majority of the flight the winds were from various directions . Home by 5
