The Spark will never descend before returning home. It will only ascend up to the set RTH altitude.

Even though you took off from a hill that was 600 feet above sea level the Spark calibrates the Home Point to be 0 feet in elevation.

So RTH would cause the aircraft to ascend 400 feet above that Home Point.
