In my old job I had a fully loaded C-207 to 1500ft many times, mother nature helped with that too...

FL500 in a Pig...would have gone allot higher thou' but rules prevented doing so.
Have a drinking buddy who's ex USAF U2 so he pretty much pisses over everybody on this one.

HH would you believe in my old job, when we had 207's one had been to 27,000'
.
14,800' in a Pik 20, (a sailplane for the stink wing brethren) from memory it took just under 20 min to get there from start of the roll and released at 1000'
And that was well before we had global warming.

taken a 172s to 9,500 on two occasions with 3 people... got there quite easily imo... out over stawell / grampians and then over the mountain ranges between lakes entrance & merimbula (took a big short cut)
at that height you begin to feel "cool"
was first time i had to use pitot-heat as it got to -4 or something up there
