Pofman, does not show too well on my graph, but the raw data shows the peak at 26 feet. With a called for minimum of 200 feet/min ROC, inertial effects are not going to carry you very high.

Below you can see the effect of reducing the gross weight down to 10,400 pounds (with our aircraft this would typically represent a combined fuel and pax load of 2,431 pounds) with the conditions remaining as before ie CDP 25 feet, OAT 30°C.
