Definitely. Let me be more precise: I would spend a few days at 3.000 meters; just like people that prepare for climbing / walking the mountains over here. It wouldn´t be from sea level to 6000+ meters in a few hours.
Plus, I would have gathered numerous hours at slowly incrementing altitudes before even considering a fly-by like that……..

Well, that would be the plan; yes. HOWEVER, that is the final stage of a period where I would test myself and the aircraft at 3000 meters, 4000 meters, 5000 meters etc. Not that I´m going there next week and just "give it a shot". I intend to take mountain flying in general real slow, and very serious……..as I said, it would be a future goal.
