Description du décollage

The takeoff can be reached either by hiking a rarely used trail with some steep parts or by being dropped by helicopter. There are two launch possibilities. One launch is an overgrown clearing for an old tram line (several concert blocks still remain). The second launch is a natural grass slope on the southwest face. Both launches are difficult and expiatory. The view and area are unique compared to many other Yukon flying sights.
