No rule against training ab initio on a complex.
And it's really beyond the point of this accident anyway. I'm puzzled as to how she couldn't make it over the ridge - if it is indeed a 210hp plane with one on board it shouldn't have been a problem.
Not to mention that if you plan for 7500 and have to climb to 8500 and barely clear the trees it should prolly be an indication you're flying up the wrong valley...
