Bob Peloquin The Grade was really pumping this afternoon, but the air wasn't what got my heart racing. On the hike up I met a cute cuddly little rattlesnake! The little bugger was startled by my arrival, so he gave a half assed attempt to strike, then shook his tail and slithered away. It's amazing how far you can jump with a good shot of adrenaline. I found the remainder of the climb to launch to be very quick. The flying was a fun, but a very active mix of thermals and ridge lift. Climbs to cloud base were abundant and strong, at times hard to get away from. Today's excitement reminded me of how I respond when people say, "Paragliding must be very dangerous." I say, "It's the trip to launch that's dangerous." Becareful out there!
