A good technique to assess your ability to get back into the air is when on downwind to land, put the A/C into takeoff configuration, apply full power and see how well she climbs. And don't forget correct leaning prior to takeoff at high altitude airports.
In my experience, 3 up in a reasonably good 180HP archer in that part of the USA should be ok at that time of year......(but don't take my word for it !)
