How high do you normally fly a Cessna 172. Have only been flying on
sea level airport and now will be flying on airports at aprox 7500' .
To get from one place to the other I might have to climb to 12500'. Do
you think that a 172 is able to do that?


Depends on the density altitude. I've flown them as high as 13500', and I
figure the density altitude was about 16000'.

Were you using oxygen?
Just curious. I never have even seen one.
