Narrative:
On climbout passing through 3000 feet I observed a glider aircraft pass 100 feet beneath me. Too late to take evasive action. The glider was white in color under a gray broken overcast which made it blend in with the horizon and impossible to see until coming very close. The area where the event took place was not identified on the sectional as a glider area which may have heightened my awareness. In the future I will be more vigilant on climbout for this type of situation. If this glider had been equipped with a transponder it should have shown up on my adsb; but it didn't.
