The mountain and the surrounding area is a paradise for nature friends, from hiking to the free climbing, everything is possible here. Naturally there is fun to be had in the air, in any case if south winds are on the program. Also Chauncey is visited above all by Hang Gliders.

The south cliff is also known as 'Tag's Point Launch' and very well loved by local pilots. With the middle difficulty rating you need a H3/P3 Rating and the first flight must be in the company of a pilot that is familliar with the site.
