Thrust alone will do?

Yes, if you're flying a fighter, yes it will, although it might not be the fastest way to achieve the desired height gain.

With an A320 full of people, weighing something like 130,000lb and with about 50,000lb of thrust, it'd be hard to climb without getting more speed to add some lift to help.
