Report from the lead

Our race reporter Tarquin Cooper hiked up early this morning with Chrigel Maurer (SUI1) and Patrick von Känel (SUI2) to their take-off on a snowy mountain top of the Grachelspitze at 2700m. Chrigel said that hiking up was a bit hard and steep. "The clouds in the valley are a problem now. There is the pressure of how to fly and when to fly." It all worked out, they are now flying towards Switzerland at above 2000m height. Watch the full report on our Facebook page
