No published site guide with explicit numbers exists for "Lincoln mtn." RMHPA lists "Lincoln" only as a "possible future addition" with no dedicated page, and paraglidingEarth/XContest returned no detailed record. Wind window is INFERRED from the paraglidingEarth orientation hint (SE, S octants) only — confidence low. The launch should work best with wind FROM the SE-through-S arc (~135-180 deg), facing the slope; marginal/cross at ~112-202 deg. Speeds are an estimate for a high-elevation (7372 ft MSL) Front Range thermic site: keep base wind modest (true airspeed penalty at altitude means lighter indicated wind feels stronger; ~6-14 mph ideal, abort above ~17 mph base / ~20 mph gusts). HAZARDS/CAUTIONS: this is the Monument/Palmer Lake area just W of I-25 — strong, gusty downslope and channeled winds are common; lee-side rotor is the main danger if wind backs to N/NW/W (do NOT fly with any northerly component). Front Range sites here are thermic and can overdevelop; best smooth window is typically morning glass-off or early/mid afternoon before thermals get rough, calming again toward evening. Treat as an undeveloped/unverified site: confirm legal access (likely private or unestablished), get a local RMHPA pilot's briefing, and do not rely on these numbers without on-site verification. Likely intermediate (P3)+ terrain given high-altitude launch and rotor potential.
