Not only is it a 22 hour RSW layover but its at a Hampton with multiple restaurants within walking distance and the UNO has $1 beer!
Back to the question. At V1 or faster you are going flying. Prior to V2 isnt the concern here- V1 is the point of the decision. From there you will accelerate to V2 and climb. You may not climb enough to clear the mountain but you will find performance critical airports have single engine climb out instructions when there is a mountain at the end of the runway.
Not arguing with you B767driver- just stating for the original poster that each V speed has a reason. It goes back the validity of the original topic.
Personally a mountain at the end of the runway makes me concerned for any takeoff. The departure will depend on each airport and aircraft but either way you will be required to be able to go flying at V1 and safely get out without smacking something big and unforgiving. Lets not split hairs- I think we are both running parallel thought processes on the issue.
