Descripción del despegue

From the center of New Jack City, by the outhouse and main camping area, look West and you will see an old decommissioned road heading West over the ridge. Hike up there, it's about 120m of vertical gain, so about 10 - 20 minute hike depending on how fast you are. At the top is a post and a relatively flat area. Last time I was here I tried to kick out any small plants and cacti and get rid of any rocks that looked like line snaggers. The West launch *MAY* be suitable for hang gliders, but good luck getting it up there. I don't hang glide so I don't know what details you are looking for, but I would guess that it goes nicely when it's on. You can launch either East or West. East is not so good, very turbulent and I would recommend checking out the East Ridge if winds are from the East. Launching West is where the best flying is to be had but I've yet to soar it, just one short sled ride. I found the winds died down drastically about 20m down even though it felt perfect at take-off.
