Technical Cheam


Its always amazing to fly up to and over Cheam Peak. Our launch is at an altitude of 750 meter and Cheam is 2104 meter high. Its not a big cross country flight by any means but a nice challenge to keep things interesting.

On many days its not possible to get to this height, on rare days its easy. Yesterday it took a bit of work to solve the puzzle, finding thermals in some areas and using smooth ridge lift along snow, cornices and rocks. Wind was west lower down and north at the peak.
