M Cabrer, always full of temperament





She's like a woman, full of temperament. Monte Cabrer.
One day you are on top of her, and she wants you to do anything she wants. She plays with you untill you are knackered. She treats you with thermals, strong and punchy, tricky or smooth, cloudbase at its highest, playing turbulent at landing approach, all in her power, on a good day.

Today she took a day off. She was stubborn, she didn't want to play. Below at landing, she deceived us, with some eastern wind. Come on up. But once up on top, she hesitated to give us playtime. She hesitated to give us a go, treating us with some backwinds, teasingly light.

We played anyway, rushing off the hill, forward launching. Some just floated down, some managed to find smooth lift. As you can see Max Schueller flying thermals under his Skywalk Mescal.

Monte Cabrer, you never know what you are in for, that's what makes this site so exciting, full of temperament.
