Takeoff description
Launch for competent pilots (very good ground-handling skills) from the grassed slope below the wall, where turbulence from the big rocks to the right or left can make it risky. If you misjudge the wind, you are likely to get blown back into the car park. For an easier launch, walk directly across the road from the entrance to the car park, and take the little footpath up the mountain, bearing left until you ascend the final steep crest (10 minutes). You will be high above the pass. There is a wind streamer tied to a tall pole, and some netting on the ground. Have a good look at the wind speed: you do not want to be blown over the back of this mountain!
