The glider was observed by pilots of three other gliders to be flying at a slow airspeed 400-500 feet above trees on a ridge line. The nose of the glider pitched up and the glider stalled and entered a spin from which it crashed.
Probable Cause: the failure of the pilot to maintain airspeed resulting in a spin at an altitude insufficient for recovery.
