Hazards

The rigging area is in rotor so progress to launch should be taken with care keeping rear sail of the glider low.

Of the 2 potential launch points. A raised lump and a flatter area just a bit south, the latter has been known to be turbulent.

There is no immediate bottom landing and the field below. So you must feel confident of making progress south and landing in the conventional fields.
