I've had my YAK-50 up to 17,500 (on oxygen by the way), just to see if I could do it. It wasn't climbing very fast, but still had way more to go. I stopped because I was too darn cold, and I was not IFR equipped.
Of course I've never found a CJ that could keep up with me in any regard, so there is that.  Except for the cockpit heater of course.

Well let's talk about experience. The rules r there to help the less experienced. One should really watch what they say because somebody will say I can do that also. Not smart at all. Even if somebody has experience the chamber and knows their hypoxia symptoms it's dumb to push them. Please use oxygen!!
