My thoughts exactly. The torque meter was near maximum and judging by the slip string, the airspeed was near zero for much of that climb up the face of the very steep rock face. No escape route from that configuration. It’s one thing hot dogging to impress yourself when flying solo, but with unknowing passengers on board? Negligent behaviour.
