Crap sleep last night, kept thinking I was about to land in the trees with the paraglider! |

| Hike up Poo-Poo with the paraglider pack. I used Rich's Dudek Mountain wing and everest harness. The thing only weighs 7lb all in!! |

| The Dudek Air Extreme Light wing takes off in a whisper of a wind - amazing. The skimpy thong of a harness I was wearing was pretty unnerving but launch was perfect. Hit a really nasty sink right off launch and looked bad for a while that I would not make it over the ridge. Went up again at 400ft/min. The ride was a bumpy rollercoaster with no reserve chute. The harness does not weight shift at all. Awful landing as I hit a big thermal on approach and got boosted up around 100ft. Landed way long just in the LZ.
I've got to fly this thing upwards of 13 times on Sunday for the hike and fly record. 5 am start and finish around 9pm up and down Poo-Poo. Its going to be a real slogfest. |

| Great evening flight with the glass off from North launch. Got up above launch a few hundred feet and got great views of Mt Rainier. Fantastic evening to be flying. Buzzed around the trees scratching for lift for a good while afterwards before calling it a day. Great way to end the day!! |
