I don't have experience taking off at high altitudes, but I can tell you that I climbed from 9,500' to 10,500' one time at about 400 FPM and that was just a cruise climb to get over the tops of some clouds a few miles in front of me. I didn't see what the max climb rate was, but I expect I could have gotten over 500 FPM at best rate of climb speed. This was with a VW 2180 and at about 910 pounds. I have heard others report similar high altitude climb rates.
