Takeoff description
The take-off is facing NE, but the main wind course is W in the afternoon. So late take-offs may be difficult and turbulent. There is another take-off facing NW, easier to take off there, just walking down a little. Strong inversion prevents higher climbind rates, but usual inversion stop is 2400 mt over take-off and once you drift back to the main mountain shoulder, you may easily get over the inversion. 100+ km XC flights possible, over mountains and flatlands. The scenery is beatiful, as the forest trees are grown naturaly at steep mountain. A place where we planned to do tasks during the PWCA and so will definitely with the Super Finals in 2010. Take off is a restricted area, contact locals prior to trip plan for permissions and briefing is important for airspace and military areas.
Rules and notes
Be prepared for 45 minutes tough trip. Choose strong vehicles.
Pilot comments
nothing special. No smoking at T/O or while driving up, as the mountain is like a heritage.
