Given the lack of a variometer or an aoa gauge, it'd be difficult to make sure you were climbing at a constant rate.
You don't want a constant rate though, you need to fly constant speed and then measure the achieved ROC, no need for a VSI or AOA just an ASI, the best rate of climb speed should give more or less best rate up to 30,000'
