The atmosphere is mostly Nitrogen, only ~%2 methane
you could use a heating element to heat the gas, but the problem is, how could you reliably get back to base? The atmospheric pressure at the surface is 1.6 times that at Earth sea-level, but the density is about 4.5 times that at Earth sealevel.
Flying might be a better bet- with only 1/7th of a gravity and a thicker atmosphere, powered flight should be quite effective.
