a shallow but steady climb till it intersects a trail running North/South,
well below the ridge, and go North along the intersecting trail.

(yawn).... or, to access the 3/4 and upper launches look for a trail that
peels off to the West and back up the slope. You should really just hike to
the upper as you'll need every bit of the measly 600+' vertical to find
something going up. This site is better this time of year after a frontal
passage when Easterly winds are predicted along the foothills... but you may
be surprised. It's a great site to take a few sledders to stay up on your
launch and landing skills as well as test new gear.
