Comments
The main part of the ridge with the take-off spot is oriented 120/300 degrees, so the ideal wind direction is 30 degrees. The ridge continues to the North-West along 110/290 degrees, so the most favorite wind direction for this part is 20 degrees. This North-Western part of the ridge is lower, and controlling the wind conditions is more important not to bomb-out.
