On high pressure weather days you don't really think about a "good day" of paraglding

For some reason, the thermals don't want to release, the edges of the lift are sharp and normally you end up having a sled ride to the bottom of the hill

We had a good group of people on the launch because there hasn't been a good flying day in months. At some point you just need to go and get some flying in or you get complacent.

I launched first when I saw a couple of crows in a thermal right off launch. I took that thermal to about 2k and eventually went over to El Cap. It didn't take long to get up on the face of El Cap. This day was not supposed to be that good but turned out to be smooth and incredible. We are talking about 3 laps good. Anyway, Enjoy this video.
