Narrative:
Flying level at 17;500 ft. Hit mountain wave turbulence and maximum rate of descent could not overcome lift of greater than 2;000 ft. Per minute. We ascended into class a airspace as high as 20;000 ft. Before being able to overcome the lift. We managed to descend back to 17;500 ft. Within a few miles.
