Mountain Flying
I've had a look at the US sectional charts and the whole place seems surrounded by high intimidating to the C172 mountains. I'd like to visit some of the high Altitude Airports in March. Is the possible in the C172 giving the icing conditions? And need for Oxygen above 10,000ft.
Moutain flying does look very fun but also quite dangerous especially if you don't know the area. The airspace also looks quite congested compared to somewhere like Florida.
If anyone has any experience that would be great.
