Hang Glider high mountain "sled ride" at Williams Peak

[MarkT]

I mentioned before I might put this video up of my first flight at Williams Peak.  Video from the Back Seat of a hang glider, if you wonder what that looks like. This is a "sled ride" off a high mountain.  Launch just below timberline about 11,000ftMSL, flight 2,000ft AGL a couple miles west towards The Eagles Nest Wilderness, some turns to scrub off altitude over Hwy 9, and land on the shore of Green Mountain Reservoir.  Radio and remote mic enabled so audio is better than the Lookout mountain video. This was filmed on videotape so resolution isn't HD but NTSC, with attendant tape aberrations.  I used to smoke - that combined with the altitude and exertion has a lot of heavy breathing.  I quit smoking not long after this flight.
