Takeoff description

Numerous places to take off. There are two main paths up this mountain. The westerly one starts at 57.5419°N, 5.4813°W and the easterly at 57.5529°N, 5.4511°W. Walk up either until you find a place you want to launch from. The walk up is not a big distance but is steep and unrelenting. If you are walking up for a fly down there are launches near the top of the ridge when following either path but good launching skills are essential.
