Direct west-facing hill; a crude built launch between rocks ~450 ft up the slope (takeoff ~6270 ft MSL). ParaglidingEarth orientation ratings: best at SW/W/NW (rated 2), so the ideal working arc is ~225-315 deg (wind FROM), centered due W (270). N and S are marginal/edge directions (rated 1), giving a wider tolerable arc of roughly 180-360 on the W half; treat S (~180-225) and NW-to-N (~315-360) as cross/edge. Classic afternoon ridge + thermal site: "the Sierra Valley offloads its west winds perfectly for the majority of the summer in the afternoons," so best time of day is summer afternoons when the valley's anabatic/west flow fills in. No explicit club speed limits found; speed range and gust ceiling are inferred for a small west-facing high-desert ridge site - watch for overdevelopment of the afternoon valley wind/venturi (can build past launchable strength) and lee-side rotor if wind backs toward N or S off the direct-west aspect. High elevation (~6270 ft) means true airspeed/wing loading run higher than indicated; bring margin. Lightly documented site - verify current conditions and access with local/regional pilots before flying.
