Narrative:

While flying the richy 5 departure at south lake tahoe we climbed above an altitude specified in the SID. Prior to takeoff at tvl the copilot (left seat) flying asked me to request a VFR climb from ZOA as soon as I was able to. Tvl tower had issued the SID and 15000 ft, and call center at 10000 ft. I called at 10000, 10500, 11000 making contact at 11500. ZOA asked me to identify. ZOA asked for my altitude. By that time we were at 13000 ft. I was advised that in the future I should not climb above 12000 ft. I advised center I was planning on asking for a VFR climb as soon as I made contact with them.
