First PPT
My first real rope break today. Was flying with my 8 year old son in the back. A bit windy. On the second flight the rope busted just before the edge of the ridge, we were about 100'. We coasted over, figured I was in the emergency field. Nice thing about harris hill, you get over the edge then you have an immediate 800' below to the valley and the emergency field. The winds had shifted enough from west to northwest that I was able to climb up about 600' and make a landing. My 8 year old thought it was great and has the busted weak link rope as a souvenir.
