I paxed to ACE in an L10 going back a few years (in fact, it was a month before CKT retired them, CC all very watery-eyed!).
We arrived on 21, which I understand is offset as well as slightly steep....terrain was certainly impressively close.
When we left a few weeks later - departed off 21, against a flow of arrivals on 03 - we were at the hold for over 20 mins.
Winds were v.light/temps high IIRC, so another reason I guess not to depart towards the spectacular volcanic scenery.
