Pilot comments
Note: There is a 3 hour hike up to the take off (minimum). It is very arduous and dangerously steep. Only for the physically fit. The wind at take off is always at least 10-15km stronger than the forecasted wind. The temperature is also 10 deg.C less than the valley floor (its very cold always)
