Take-off description
small window for flying: too little wind and you'll sink out, too much and it's very hard to get off...
Getting there
Leave Bishop on US 6 (North); turn into 'Five Bridges road'; continue on this road (it changes its name) until you are on top of the bluff; take first left (at N37.42018 W118.42874) until reaching launch/ parking.
Weather
https://sierragliding.us > Chalk Bluffs also many met links: http://karicastle.com/owens-valley-wx/ Check wind at Bishop Airport (+1 760-872-2658 - ideally around 9mph/ 15kmh); if the wind there is already (too) strong, it's not worth the drive
