In the cable car I met Nick Greece, the pilot who became US open class cjhampion in Richfield rearlier this year; he does a quick tour of the Alps in order to wraite an article for XC-magazin.
Today the conditions on launch have been much better/ normal; but due to the high pressure (1030hpa) and the cirrus layer, cloud base was lower than yesterday.
'Lokomotive' and Sella'-Towers
When crossing over to the Marmolada I just could watch a pilot in front of me (about 250m away) taking a frontal. In the course ôf the resulting cascade of events he had to throw his reserve - he sunk out along some very rocky spine and landed on a steep slope high up on the mountain, but apparently he was ok as he could gather up all his equipment
