Cessna 172R from Telluride to Aspen

Is it safe/wise to fly a Cessna 172R from Telluride to Aspen? If so, what
conditions or restrictions (if any) should be observed?

Are you referring to a real airplane or simulated flight with MSFS?

I'm asking about real airplanes, subsequent to a simulated flight with the
same aircraft that ended tragically just a few minutes ago, probably due to
icing, although I'm not sure. I tried the flight as an experiment to see if
it was possible, and I'd like to know from pilots of the real aircraft whether
or not it would be possible or safe to attempt it in real life.

Weather at Aspen was low IFR so I had planned to divert to Garfield County,
but I lost control of the aircraft about 20 miles southeast at 12500 feet and
impacted terrain.

Wow. Our resident ace pilot can't even fly a 172 on his simulator! I
wonder who give him directions on how to pee.

In this case the output of the game had a modicum of accuracy, MX
would have crashed a real 172 also.

He would have had to start , taxi and take off first, all of which seems
pretty unlikely.

there is the real life case of a clown who stole a cherokee 140 from
Darwin Airport in the Northern Territory.

now remember that the cherokee has the reputation for being one of the
easiest to fly blandsville aircraft.

said clown crashed with fatal consequences just over the piano keys on
takeoff.

mx if you ever try flying a real one can I watch?
make it in winter so we can stand there warming our hands over the
fire....

This was by any measure a poorly designed experiment. The only lesson
to be learned is planning is necessary for safe flight. Superior
planning is necessary if there are questions about the airplane's
suitability.
