This shows B&H staging just below 14,000'. The smoke trail is crooked due to the "layered" winds of the atomosphere causing it to appear erratic.

The booster went on to 17,300' before deploying its recovery parachutes. Hedges went much higher but wasn't recovered due to main parachute deployment at apogee.

Simulation altitude was right at 47,000' so even at a reduced altitude, the rocket under parachute would drift for miles. An RDF signal was received for over an hour after projected apogee but was lost as the rocket drifted over the mountains or landed behind a ridge or boulders.
