Narrative:
Took off on runway 22 because of 20+ KT wind right down the runway. Airport facility directory runway 22 closed for takeoff, 'numerous cranes,...' but there were no cranes, and due to wind, the climb out was very steep -- no problem. If I had used runway 29, the crosswind would have been a potential safety problem. Other aircraft are also landing and taking off runway 22.
