Takeoff description

Given no wind, it’s possible to launch from the ground immediately to the east of the road at the head of the Pass itself. Once airborne the best line will generally involve following the road, or sticking close to the cliffs (on the east side of the pass) which can offer more buoyant air at the end of a sunny day.
