Default finding mountain passes for flight planning?

A flatlander pilot contemplating a trip through Colorado asked his
instructor to provide him with some training in mountain flying. This
included many simulated high density altitude takeoffs and landings.
Upon his return the pilot was heard to comment, "Man, I'm sure glad I
had that additional training. I was sorely tempted to use full power
taking off out of Leadville.
