Takeoff description
Piramide Vincent is one of the easiest high-altitude hike&fly sites. The summit is smooth snow covered spherical mountain top, and can be used to takeoff in all directions. Since it is covered by ice and snow, its shape can be different each year, and taking off in some specific directions can get more difficult.
