Takeoff description
Usually it is a 20-30 minute walk up but sometimes the ski lift can be organised the day before. The launch is small, space for one glider only. Launching usually occurs between 10am and 11am. Later than this and it is too strong. Once launched, head east to the shoulder and climb.
