Takeoff description

This is a cliff launch with hang glider ramp at the cliffs edge. The ramp needs some maintenance (rotting at the top). The ramp is held to large bolts in the rocks by rope that could be also degraded. I think it hasn't been maintained in at least 10 years. Paragliders should make their walls further up the clearing away from the cliff. there it is mostly free of large obstacles, but careful layout is required to avoid snagging lines. Winter snow would make this site much easier to launch.
