This video is the last few minutes of my landing sequence at Rampart on Oct 10th 2014.
A total of 10 hang pilots flew. (no paragliders) It was absolutely another epic day at Rampart. The launch condition was not too strong (8-12mph straight up) which allowed everyone to self launch. The thermals were mixed with ridge lifts, it was fairly smooth while popping off all the way through the end of the Rampart ridge. We were all able to climb easily to the cloud base without a problem and made it to the the end of the Rampart cliff wall. My instrument indicated topping over 4000ft above launch (approx 8000 ft above see level) and it was freezing cold. The landing was a bit rowdy but we all managed to land safely.
