Takeoff description

Typically 2WD accessible in dry conditions, but high clearance is necessary. Please park away from the launch area, giving enough clearance that a pilot being blown backwards won’t hit a vehicle. With a low-clearance vehicle, pilots can drive and park at the LZ and hike the 600 feet up to launch. Gravel areas with less snag hazards allow space for a couple gliders at a time to lay out. Keep enough space between gliders to allow some high wind kiting and make sure lines are clear before pulling the wing up. The rocks and snags are sharp and have been known to snap lines.
