A regular thermal flows up the south face of the peak to the West of the launch.

The site features three launch areas that cater for slightly different wind directions. All launch sites are netted over so snagging is rare. The two most popular launch sites are free from obstructions and have gentle grassy slopes. The third is steeper and has trees either side as you take off. The landing is a large grassy field. Approach is best made over the trees to the rightas you aproach from the mountain. There is a power line running along the road to the left of the field. Due to the landing zone being at the convergence of three valleys, the wind frequently shifts and can blow in different directions at the same time. Keep approach speed high. Take the Jungang line out of Seoul and get off in Yangpyeong. From there take a taxi (15 min approx)to the landing zone (near Hanwha resort).
