the clouds were topped out at 10, and I could see the sun poking through. I may have been able to get out of them by 9k or so.

THe second reason was that I wasn't sure where the ice started, so even as I went back down, i was still picking up ice. My goal was to get out of it, up or down. Up was just easier to get to at that point.

The goal was to get out of the visible moisture and into the sun to hear that great sound of ice flaking off and hitting the airplane!
