DESCRIPTION
Launch is open and grassy with some rocks surrounded by bushes and low trees that are forgiving of launch failures - in terms of injury if not so much in terms of time to untangle. In case of parawaiting the Brace launch is a beautiful place to be. It is top-landable with the usual risks.When the wind is cross this is a P4 launch. Fly straight out and get clearance as quickly as possible.This is an active, friendly, and welcoming paragliding community.
Hang gliders fly Brace when conditions look good but it's a challenge getting them to launch by some combination of 4WD and hand carrying.

Access
There is a hard hike up the front (west) side starting at 2k from the LZ (500m vertical with a brief section of steep rock and a beautiful waterfall), or an easier hike in the back that requires a 40 minute drive from the LZ to the trailhead.
