Truckee Departure on a gusty day

[M20S Driver]

This is a semi refined clip of a flight from Truckee to Livermore on 6/21/15.  DA was 8400 and winds were from 250 at 16 kts gusting to 26.  It was very pumpy below 11000 feet (2 min 50 sec into the clip).  I usually take off from 20 at Truckee and do a circling 270 climbing at 105 kts over the airport.

You are right. The climb is at 420 knots and 3600 fpm (4x).

Very nice,  Truckee is one we want to go visit.  I knew about the big open space good for building your climb and now I have a Mooney's eye view of it.
