Remember yr 160 HP is severely hamstrung at that Alt & a FP prop, the HP won't be there. Rated HP at take off is NEVER what the engine is capable of with a FP prop & normally aspirated.
Id pick yr day to do this, early morning, light winds & always have an 'out' I've been in there once & the terrain is magical but is a hazard!
