Arosa in July

Pano looking SW

Twice so far I've been to the Weisshorn during these last few days; even though conditions looked great (little wind, high cloud base), I've been unable to launch due to the 'shitty' wind conditions on the mountain (that's why I call this mountain 'Scheisshorn' instead of 'Weisshorn').
There would be an alternative launch further down (so called 'Rööslihang'). It's rather steep, but normally perfectly facing the thermals. But the problem for me is: if I cannot launch (for reasons whatsoever), in my present physical condition I'm simply unable to carry my equipment back up the mountain to the cable car station :-((
So I have to hope for a launch window on top of the mountain or take the gondola down again...


wind direction...
