Takeoff description

Aside from the one shown on the map (primary launch) there are also launches facing West, East and even North. ** Update ** I saw two launches one up top which is a small SW facing launch and one about 30-40 meters down which is more South facing and a bit bigger. It's about a 20 minute walk from the base to the top I would guess.
