Various extreme speed flying routes down the mountain at Ambri have been charted to pilot a canopy close to the slopes for a whole mile to arrive at the valley. <\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The two runs for \u00fcber experienced pilots are the Valley and the Canyon. The route and tips for the Canyon have recently been released and are described below. The guide to the Valley was described <a href=\"\/article\/20131009-mountain-guide-to-mountain-gravity\">here<\/a> in an earlier article. Obviously these routes are only for extremely skilled, experienced &#x26; current canopy pilots and mountain swoopers.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><em>Of course you can&#8217;t learn to fly a mountain on the internet, this article is for entertainment &#x26; background purposes only<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>realize that we did some of these runs over a hundred times before going in as deep as we now do<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<h1>Extreme Sport<\/h1>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Swooping is an extreme sport, for which in some countries you need to have more than 1,000 jumps. Adding a mountain to that sport does not make it safer. On the contrary. You should not let the desire to put your personal cool GoPro video up on facebook be the motivation to go lower or faster on a mountain than you would on a normal landing area. Remember that even just breaking a leg on a mountain can be a serious problem.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>In the description of runs for expert flyers we assume that you are indeed an expert canopy flyer. Even so, you might not be a very experienced mountain swooper (because there aren\u2019t many of those). Please realize that. Please also realize that we did some of these runs over a hundred times before going in as deep as we now do.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/8ae0e3d6-68b1-49e0-821e-98c3635371eb.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h1>Basic Mountain Swooping Rules<\/h1>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We expect you to know about some basic mountain swooping rules. Here they are again, to fresh up:<br \/>\n1. Always know what your run should look like, even when you\u2019re supposed to follow a guide.<br \/>\n2. Look at least 200 meters ahead.<br \/>\n3. Speed equals performance and therefore is your friend. Never fly less than full flight.<br \/>\n4. Approaching a ridge or flat part, always keep a margin. That\u2019s why we never fly less than full flight. Rear risers (or occasionally toggles) are only used to give very short input, toggles are never used to flatten your glide.<br \/>\n5. There is no try; only do or don\u2019t. This means, that if you\u2019re not 100% sure you\u2019re going to make it over a tree or ridge, you find an alternative route or landing EARLY.<br \/>\n6. If you feel turbulence, stay high. Even though there is probably more turbulence higher up, you want to create some margin. Keep your cell pressure, so fly fast.<br \/>\nAs always, the most dangerous flyers are the ones who overestimate themselves.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Mountain Gravity Canyon Route\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/7aece90e-7f3b-4dba-8782-cc1215f9c71f.jpeg\"><\/p>\n<h1>The Canyon<\/h1>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>For this run you can start all the way at the top of the mountain at 2,650 m which gives you a 5,500 ft mountain swoop! With Lago Tremorgio (the little round lake) on your right hand, you fly straight towards the main valley.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>There is no try; only do or don\u2019t<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll divide the description for this run into<br \/>\n<strong>3 segments:<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>1. The Scottish Highlands<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>2. The Crack<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>3. The Exit + Landing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Obviously, the crack is quite engaging, and you need many runs and general mountain swoop experience to fly it smoothly. Strangely enough, the exit is where people make mistakes. So stay alert, specially after coming out of the canyon! By then, playtime is almost over and your arms are tired so you\u2019d better gain some altitude and prepare for a safe landing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Canyon Part 1 \u2013 The Scottish Highlands\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/c51e2a02-c67c-4dca-aa38-0b13e63c1833.jpeg\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/ee203349-e854-4968-b6ef-5efe97645145.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h1>Canyon Part 1 \u2013 Scottish Highlands<\/h1>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>When the visibility is clear and the winds are good, try starting your run all the way at the top of the mountain. The top part is one of my favorites, even though most people choose to start about 100-200 m downhill. Set up right over the highest point and remember that you\u2019re at 8,500 ft above sea level, so take some extra margin if you\u2019re starting your approach with a front riser or harness turn.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>With Lago Tremorgio on your right hand, you fly straight towards the main valley. The short ridgeline at the top soon changes into a plain \u2013 The Scottish Highlands. This is a grassy and rocky field with the perfect angle to keep on swooping. From here there are a few options&#8230; I\u2019ll describe 3 of them (shown in red on the photo).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Canyon plan, with 3 route options for part 1 shown in red\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/c5c16b45-6578-42e7-a7d7-9939998f4ba2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h2>1. Go straight<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Go straight on&#8230; When you fly over the edge, you\u2019ll see the lake on your right hand side; and right in front of you there is a clear gully turning 45 \u030a left. Follow this gully or if you\u2019re a bit higher, follow the shoulder on the opposite side. <strong>WATCH OUT:<\/strong> there are actually 2 valleys to choose from. The one on the left leads to the crack (part 2 of this run). The one on the right is not surveyed during the Mountain Gravity, so don\u2019t go there. If you find yourself there by mistake, keep extra altitude (because the run is flatter) and prepare for a sloping landing area with ditches in it.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>2. Go a bit left<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>If you keep a little bit left on the first plain, it turns into a ridge again. You can follow this ridge all the way to the trees. I find it the least interesting option but strangely enough it\u2019s the one that is flown the most.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2>3. Go left a bit more<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>This is my favorite option because with the right type of steering and wingloading, you can keep skimming the grass all the way until the entrance of the crack! If you keep left on the first plain, you end up just left of the ridge from the previous option; we\u2019re talking 3 meters. Here the grass plain continues, with a small gully to lead the way. If you follow this gully with slow harness turns \u2013 provided you have both the swooping skills and mountain experience to do this safely \u2013 it feels like the endless swoop. Coming to where the small trees begin, turn right into the valley that leads into The Crack.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>you need a lot of mountain flying skills and to know the canyon like a formula 1 driver knows his racetrack<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><em>Alternative:<\/em> If you keep going straight at the end instead of turning right, you can fly all the way down over the trees and skip the crack. It gets flatter here at first, so keep your altitude. Don\u2019t fly back towards the right because you might meet others flying the traditional line through the crack. <strong>WATCH OUT:<\/strong> If you follow the wrong gully (more left) you\u2019ll end up over a large flat grassy part where you have to stay very high to make it over the small road at the end.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Canyon Part 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/b8acdc56-9489-404e-8078-c9ad68e599af.jpeg\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/e4345f21-56b8-4ca7-9640-ea12fc4719c8.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h1>Canyon Part 2 \u2013 The Crack<\/h1>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>As long as you take it easy, flying the crack is quite doable. The canyon is steep, so at any point you can decide to go straight and fly out of it. As there is less space left and right, be aware of burbles and keep distance from the ones flying in front of you.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>If your desire is to go down low, it becomes the more engaging part of the run. You\u2019ll have to swing harness turns to lose altitude. This increases the risk of snatching a tree with your end cells or swinging too far out of a turn, possibly resulting in terrible situations, especially down low, where the canyon becomes very narrow. To maneuver here you need to have a lot of mountain flying skills and you need to know the canyon like a formula 1 driver knows his racetrack.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Canyon Part 3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/a095537c-9801-4b32-983d-170a9f9417cb.jpeg\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skydivemag.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/\/a0a19227-aa86-40fd-8d5f-0a756d4f1210.jpg\"><\/p>\n<h1>Canyon Part 3 &#8211; Exit and Landing<\/h1>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>When you start to see grass at the bottom of the canyon, start gaining some more altitude and fly out. Strangely enough, this is the part where people tend to make mistakes. Going too far left and playing around with the trees can result in a painful tree landing. Your arms are tired by now and the terrain is getting flatter so it\u2019s time to prepare for a safe landing instead. Unless agreed otherwise with your guide, coming from the canyon, you\u2019ll always cross the road, make a 90 \u030a turn left and land parallel to the road in a western or north-western direction.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Time to count if everyone made it down safely and wait for the trailer to pick you up.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU Gravity<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mountaingravity.ch\">Mountain Gravity Website<\/a> to upload a video of your flight down &#x26;\/or vote for the best<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><em>More photos at:<\/em> <a href=\"\/article\/20131005-mountain-gravity\">Mountain Gravity Gallery<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/article\/20131009-mountain-guide-to-mountain-gravity\">Tips and Tricks for Route 1, The Valley<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TCDQNhM89mY&#038;feature=youtube_gdata_player\">Mountain Gravity Canyon  \u2013 The whole run.
