Commenti

best site by a mile so far in Azer. Late in the evening seems to always get a strong but soar-able ESE. Earlier in the day the higher S face is a great launch and offers great XC potential. First test of South face today and Base was at 3300. Jason set the new Azer XC record, 40kms. https://vimeo.com/14326528
