My 2nd mountain flight ... I was a bit nervous. This is off Cornwall Mountain by Cache Creek. Altitude was about 5,000 feet. I turned into the mountain just near the beginning of the flight. This was caused because I accidently let the glider stall and it veered to the left ... remember I was a newbie at this. Well I quickly figured I had to pull in to increase my airspeed which allowed me to make the turn before hitting the mountian. It was scary ... but after that I was fine and made it to the landing field. :D
No doubt. I just couldn't resist.

I would suggest that one considers wearing pants on launch and for their second mountain flight.
