Flying, skitouring & climbing in the Alps
Zugspitze hike & fly
Hiking up via Stopselzieher with nothing unusual there =)
Takeoff conditions were borderline for Zugspitze. When I first came through at the takeoff area, westwind about 10km/h was still present, 30min later when I came back from the summit the wind died down completely. Being totally focused on the takeoff procedure I forgot to turn on the GoPro at the start. Though this was really the most thrilling part: running and jumping through the rocks and spectators, very close to the radio tower, in a zero wind situation.
Takeoff time 10.30am
Equipment used:
Skywalk Spirit 85 & Skywalk Core
0:00 hiking
0:47 flying
4:14 landing

Paragliding Osterfelderkopf with too much wind - Föhn

"It is better to stay on the ground and wanting to be in the air than the other way around". On one hand Alpine Foehn was forcasted, on the other hand not too much wind in the Garmisch area. I decided to give it a try... Every second of this flight was intense and I am glad that I was flying on my EN-A wing. Some lessons learned today. As some people like to make accusations based on pure specu...

Phenomenal mountain range my friend! Trail looks a bit scary and steep but simply epic!
jeder wie er es braucht.. bei fön is quasi als würdest in einen wildwasserbach springen bei hochwasser.. aber gut gekämpft! respekt! wer dumme entscheidungen trifft, sollte genug können u verstand haben um zu überleben aber oft würde ich dir das nicht empfehlen😂🍺✌️
Except for launching with these conditions, great piloting and wing control.
Badassery
Holly Molly that's scary! Great handling 👍and I can imagine how relieved you were on the ground.
Love the cam footage. I have looked through to see if you have said how you did it and cant see an answer. So what did you use? I am guessing a lond pole attached to your harness?
@@flyingmortgageman I recorded it with a so called chasecam & GoPro. You can just google for "Skybean Chase XC" that should explain it =)
Everyone knows NOT to fly in Föhn conditions. Really this makes me annoyed watching. I did paragliding for 20+ Give back your license immediately!
@@thomaspoett868 I have a life hack for you: don't waste your time and energy watching things that annoy you.
@@RockIceAir putting yourself on risk like this is annoying. 1. Check flight conditions - you didn’t 2. Check your area and get in case infos from locals You even didn’t do any of those and it’s a legal requirement. Everyone know the landing conditions around Wank/ Osterfelder because of the wind system in GAP valley. Even this you ignored. And than being proud showing of this video At least you should have been honest with a review of all the mistakes you made
@@thomaspoett868 How the fck do you want to know what I did or did not do in preparation on this day? You are accusing me with a lot of things without knowing anything about me or my reasons. Go and fight your social justice wars on X/Twitter, I am sure there happend enough in the last 24hours that needs your "qualified" comments.

so how brown were your underpants after that one?
@@obi.wan_canopy 💩
I'm guessing,You must've not seen the weather forecast. You took care through out the flight. Good pilot. Careful next time. 😎✌
@AliBabaFlyHigh I was checking the forecast a lot actually and still went for it. I was not aware that the foehn was breaking through at this location. The wind at the take off has calmed down for 15min and I decided to fly. But I was actually just in a big lee zone the whole time. Big misjudgement of the local wind situation
Awesome, exciting, wild, crazy. Breathe. Don't do that again.
"Das, was wir machen, ist eine ziemlich absurde Tätigkeit. Ist es nicht völlig absurd, dort hinzugehen, wo man umkommen könnte, um nicht umzukommen? Die Kunst dabei aber ist, nicht umzukommen! Diese Kunst, nicht umzukommen, wiederum ist nur eine Kunst, weil man dabei umkommen könnte. Es ist doch ganz einfach: Sonst wäre es kein Grenzgang ... Wenn ich zurückkomme, zuletzt nicht dabei umkomme, habe ich einen Grenzgang hinter mir. Und erlebe das als Wiedergeburt." Reinhold Messner These: Ein jeder soll frei sein diese Grenze so schraf wie er will zu erfahren, oder niemals. Wissend was er tut, oder nicht.
Toll :) Mit wie viel gewicht bist du den Spirit geflogen ?
Ist der Spirit 85 mit ca 90kg Startgewicht gerade =)
@@RockIceAirzufrieden damit ? :)
@@tobiasl.4038 ja auf jeden Fall, Packmaß und Gewicht sind niedrig, fliegt sich zackig und man kann sogar auch mal bisschen Höhe aufbauen wenn man einen ordentlichen Bart findet =)
Toller Flug. 👏Welche Startrichtung ist das bzw. welcher Landeplatz?🤔
Startrichtung war Nord und Landeplatz bei Söll =)
@@RockIceAir THX 👍
It was quite a ride, Bro. What flying camera do you use?
Camera is a GoPro 11 with Skybean Chase XC mount
Amazing. I am kind of afraid to ask, but what happens if your feet slip out of the rope they are pushing against?
Nothing, the rope at the feet in the first half of the video is just an optional tool for accelerating the wing. Kind of like the throttle in a car. I am sitting in something that is similar to a climbing harness and that holds me around my thighs and hips =)
@@RockIceAir Whew...Ok! Nice. I'll be in Kef in 2 weeks, can't wait. Sorry, no hang gliding for me...too chicken!
@@SamDiMento You can try to find a professional tandem pilot there, maybe they fly at Myrtos beach, just ask them. Enjoy the island =)
Very informative. Learned a lot! Thank You!
Awesome!
Looks like having no idea about wind systems...ar just an bastard adrenaline junkie...
Its nuts with a hangglider, which usually wont collapse. But with a Paraglider its totally nuts. If the air would be visible as water, it looks like a storm flood with foamy big waves...go for a swim? Glad you are safe.
schön den Scheiss 1:1 als Video zu sehen..................aber Deine Entscheidung betr. Fliegen oder nicht Fliegen begreife ich definitiv nicht ! - Bereits in den 80er Jahren kriegten wir folgende Meteoregel "eingepauckt" : ab 4 hPa Druckdifferenz zwischen N +S wird nicht mehr geflogen............... // aber diese Regel wird ja seit gefühlt 20 Jahren von Wettkampfpiloten (und möchtegern Wetkampfpiloten) systematisch gebrochen.... // doof finde ich enfach, dass wenn mal was passieren tut, schlussendlich die Allgemeinheit wieder dafür bezalen muss. Will heissen, die Prämien für Unfall und/oder Krankenversicherung werden einfach erhöht..................:-(..................................// Meine Meinung: finanzielle Regress-Schraube bei Sportunfällen sollte deutlich angezogen werden.
Intentionally take off AND fly in the lee, well, if you like it. 🙄😆 You knew what you were doing. - I flew in the windward direction, which was also "interesting" ruclips.net/video/bpxTrxCCiCc/видео.html
Fliege nie bei Föhn. Niemand, absolut niemand hat kann voraussagen wie und wann der Föhn aktiv ist und durchbricht. Aber der Pilot hätte schon an den zerfetzten Kumuli sehen sollen, das der Föhn bereits stark in der Höhe ins Tal greift.
Thx for sharing. Luckily for u the turbulens settled nearer ground. Nice video edit :) Big ears and bar might be good in situations like this. Say from 100m down to 25m in your case here. (until tings settled). Anyhow, happy to see you kept I cool and landed safe!
wow! What a ride :) You wont forget that one for a while. Hope you had you brown underpants on that day. Good active flying in nasty conditions.
Underpants were totally soaking wet afterwards :P
Thanks for posting! I flew this area over 42 years ago, when paragliding started out. Great seeing my old stomping grounds. Still flying all these years later, but now in B.C. with a Geo6 and a Flare Moustache. Good times! Luckily we don't have the "Foehn" conditions here in British Columbia. Keep it safe and happy flying!
Can't imagine how it was in the old days. Must have been a lot more risky than nowadays. Where do you fly in BC?
@@RockIceAir I agree, the wings have improved so much. I mostly fly in the Interior in BC. We have several sites around Williams Lake and Sabina near Kamloops has a great site. Now that I also have a Flare Moustache I have a lot more options.

Wenn Du in der Unfallstatistik auftauchen willst, weiter so. Aber du tust damit weder dir, noch allen anderen einen Gefallen.
Wem das noch Spaß macht ... ruclips.net/video/xp_EkFTVfuc/видео.html ... dem ist auch nicht mehr zu helfen. Wobei durch die Verfolger Kamera die Sache stark dramatisiert wird.
Wenn du des Englischen nicht mächtig bist hier eine Kurzzusammenfassung auf Deutsch: Es hat keinen Spaß gemacht.
Great camera angle to show how much fun it can be when it gets ugly in the air. Glad you are good at handling your wing 👍
Was thinking the same! Often GoPro footage from a helmet looks really gentle, compared to the memory of getting your arse spanked 🤣🤣👍⭐ This chase cam was perfect. Glad it didn't get tangled in your lines in that rough air
You took off in a giant lee-rotor. 😮😂
I flew there several times... Dont get me wrong, but if you want to continue this Sport, and especially your life, dont start on alpine places like that in these conditions... Its part of the Zugspitzmassiv, so you should expect heavy condiotions any time... There are a lot of other and safer flying spots around, and i think, you even know that yourself!
Mannomann, das war gefährlicher, als es auf dem Video ausschaut. So viele fragen.... Warum die Startentscheidung? Hast du davor wenigstens die umliegenden Windmesswerte abgerufen? Verm. nicht - Bei Burnair sehe ich im Archiv, Ehrwald hatte 60er Grundwind und 80er Böen!!! 🤢🤮😵🥴🤯😲 Wieso hast du den Landeplatz genommen und bist nicht eher in Breitenau runter? Da wär zumindest nicht noch ein Lee gewesen (deswegen war es auch bei der Landung ruhiger - aber halt saugefährlich).
do you fly accelerated with brakes??
50% accelerated (variating with one leg) and under these turbulent conditions: yes
Speedbar + Bremsen gleichzeitig machen den Schirm zusätzlich instabil und klappanfällig, weil so das Schirmprofil stark deformiert wird. Ist nicht empfehlenswert. Fliegen lassen, wenn du in Speedbar bist und nur kurze Bremsimpulse bei starken Nickbewegungen würde ich empfehlen
Yeah - it's either accelerator *or* brakes... Not both at the same time (you're asking for a massive frontal collapse if you do - trust me, I race an Enzo3 and you really want to avoid that experience, especially in a nasty Föhn washing machine). Adding brakes while on the Speed Bar causes the wing's nose to pitch further forward/down - often blowing the wing up quite spectacularly!
saw that as well and got quite scared for you as there are so many more options to control your wing with speed bar, eg use b/c-steering and go on full bar, usually pretty stable. as the others recommended, brakes + speedbar really bad idea. also if you want to fly föhn conditions in garmisch, go to wank. if its not flyable there on south föhn, its nowhere. wank is way less prone to any lee, but the osterfelder is pretty much the worst lee rotor side for south föhn, since there is the massive wetterstein ridge providing for heavy turbulences...
Thank you all for the constructive feedback =)
Wow. ein Lehrvideo!
good lessons in this video thanks for sharing...
Great vid footage. Seems like u made the right decisions after the initial bad one 😅
That looked like fun 😂
we where flying a glider competition during this time. We had so much fun, 4 days of medium Föhn. I can really recommand switching to something with a "hard wing" during these days: ruclips.net/video/Y-HpCf0xAlk/видео.html I also think there are places where you can fly during these weak Föhn conditions with Paragliders. Quite smooth is for example Stoderzinken. Also not much turbulence at the Kaiser.
Can't do hike and fly with the gliders unfortunately 😅
Great job getting out of that situation! How does the follow cam work??
Look up the "Skybean Chase XC" =)
Hey RockyGratulation, Du bist am Leben ! Wenn Du das Wort Föhn hörst, oder die Möglichkeit Föhn, oder Föhn bereits da ist - Flieg nicht !
Paradise...
Definitely. Not many tourists in October, almost no other paragliders. The flights on Kefalonia were special 🥰
Bumpy yes. But Föhn? Telling from the clouds not a lot.
The cloud coverage indeed does not look like (high) Föhn, but this is not always a guarantee. The uploader corrected the date of the flight to the 1.05.24, which was clearly föhnig, both the weather forecasts as well as the windstations showed strong and gusty winds for that region. Maybe even mixed with thermals. Anyways, even without Föhn one must always expect turbulent conditions in this specific valley, especially in the afternoon.
Zur Bestätigung nochmal: Flugtag war der 1.Mai. Je nachdem wen man fragt haben wir jetzt Aussagen über die volle Bandbreite von "absoluter Föhntag" über "föhnig" zu "kein Föhn, ist nur ruppig". So mehrdeutig war ungefähr auch meine Analyse als ich mich entschieden habe an dem Tag zu starten. Wie auch immer, am Ende waren die Bedingungen eigentlich über meinem Skill Level.
@@tillkeyling5343 right, in the video it just looking a bit bumpy
@@RockIceAir Druckdifferenz und die nahgelegen Messtationen an "Problempunkten" helfen da bei der Startentscheidung. Natürlich ist es auch stark von Topographie etc abhängig. Wir fliegen öfter in den Bayrischen Alpen bei 6hPa noch entspannt (meist aber mit der Option sich im Zweifel ins Flachland blasen zu lassen :D ). Und eines ist klar. Wenn man sich nicht sicher ist, startet man nicht.
Hast echt gute Nerven bewiesen!!! Hat sich wohl schon jeder gefragt, was denn wäre, wenn Föhn is. Etz wiss mas! Danke!
da ist glaube ich kaum Föhn, Wolkenbild sieht entspannt aus.
Thank you for sacrificing yourself for us. Now I feel less sad about having to have stayed home in Munich that weekend, that would have ended worse on an EN-C wing
lol
First of all, thank god you made it back to terra firma in one piece. terrible decision to start. the föhn diagrams for the alps are reliable and available. I assume you live in the area, so if its not flyable today, then bake a cake or something and go flying tomorrow! 😀. Hey Skywalk, what an promotion for the safety of the masala! 😀👍
Unfortunately, there's more too Foehn than just pressure differential, you can get really strong Foehn with 3 hPa and no Foehn with 8.
Danke für das Video. Kannst du bitte den Hersteller und das Modell von deinem Helm nennen? Sieht gut aus 👍Ist dein Gurtzeug Crouise oder Brezze?
Klar, der Helm ist ein "Ski Trab Attivo", eigentlich ein Skitouren/Bergsteigen Helm, nehm ich manchmal auch für meine Hike & Flys. Gurtzeug in diesem Flug war das Skywalk Core
Cool, dass du dieses abschreckende Beispiel eingestellt hast. Bei Föhn fliegen ist bekanntlich nicht ratsam.
Cool ist es nicht, lehrreich schon. Insgesamt kommt mir das Video etwas zu sehr als Husarenstück rüber, etwas Info, wie es zu der Fehlentscheidung zum Start gekommen ist und was er daraus gelernt hat, wäre toll.
Wenn dir da nicht der Arsch auf Grundeis geht:-)), aber Respekt an Rocky.
@@gonzothefirst3051 was er alles vorher falsch gemacht hat, sieht man doch. Sich weder über die Windsysteme vor Ort informiert, noch so richtig Meteobriefing gemacht.
@@Nordi1980 sehe ich genauso. Und dann noch "stolz" sein. Er kann sich freuen, dass nichts passiert ist. Und die Windsystem in GAP kennt er auch nicht. Am Osterfelder ist beim DHV eine explizite Warnung vor Föhnstarts.
@@thomaspoett868 Osterfleder ist vor allem Hochalpines Fliegen. Man sollte sich schon gut auskennen, bevor man sowas macht. Der Ehrwalder Kessel ist ja zusätzlich bekannt für sein durchaus sehr lebhaftes Talwindsystem.
I love the follow cam! But the only thing to learn from it is not to go flying when the Föhn is on.
