Takeoff description

You have a window of opportunity for launching. Too early you sink out. Too late and the wind get too strong. Alternative TO (especially in Winter) at the 'C': 37 38 32.9 W113 02 05.3 (2513m) In 2024, Cedar lit up the letter C with electrical conduits that are a foot off the ground all the way around the C. A total tripping hazard for paragliders launching. This makes this site quite a bit more dangerous.
