You can always say unable to climb to 11,000, but for lost comm purposes if
you are not prepared to climb that high, don't file the STAR.


Or, file the STAR, but make clear when you read back your clearance what
altitude you will climb to upon lost comm. Get them to confirm. You only fall
back on the flight plan absent a clearance.
