What we look for at Summit House

Wind direction

NE (45°) → SE (135°)

The wind must blow from within this arc. Direction is the same for both wings.

Ideal speed

3–9 mph

Ceiling · Paragliding

≤ 19 mph base · gusts ≤ 23

Top of the range for paragliding (any rating). Switch wings up top to compare. Hang gliders hold roughly 10 mph more than paragliders.

The 13,678 ft summit of Pikes Peak - an extreme hike-and-fly / vol-biv launch for experienced pilots, not a casual club site. At this altitude true airspeed runs far above indicated, so keep wind light and launch early before convection builds; west/lee winds bring severe rotor and sink and are unflyable. Main hazards are afternoon storms and strong thermic cycles - be down by early afternoon. Advanced/expert only.
