The fine sport of parawaiting. Here's Greg, Tom, Ian, Chris, Tammy, Ben, Chubbs, Andrew, and Tammy's mom on the spine of Big Walker Mountain. The landing is field up and left of Med's glider, and there are plenty of emergency landing fields around. NW to N winds are perfect. W or NE are at the very limits of the window, and you must be prepared to go cross country in these conditions.
Wind tends to straighten out at launch.
You might launch into a perfect head wind only to find yourself drifting W or NE once you get away from launch. It's a beautiful, long ridge with great ridge soaring, thermaling, and cross country opportunities. For a topographical map, click here. Another view of launch with pilots' cars.
