I would only advise NO since you already have questions and concerns, especially with a smaller format Vegas. While it has 'power', whether that really will meet your definition of 'handling' is unknown, until you actually do it. I guess there's a fear that you won't 'make it' up the mountain... but generally folks do, even if it's at a much slower pace... but, why the rush anyway?
Descending can be an interesting time, too, as your brakes are really what you'll be concerned with, as well as the transmission downshifting. When you learn how to 'allow' the transmission to do it's job, though, you'll realize that it's not as daunting as it may seem...though, certainly, there are some areas to descend that cause pause for all of us...just take it easy, and don't be afraid to go 'slowly'! No one lost control because they were taking it easy and going slow.
