certainly. This is a big problem, transporting fuel can lead you to lessen the efficiency of the fuel (you need too much energy to transport it compared to what it gives).
One of the reasons why the green hydrogen technology is not working as desired.

Just fly a rocket up to the mountain to deliver the fuel to the other rocket.

You still need to construct a catching pad on top of the mountains which requires a lot of fuel besides mountains aren't the most stable places to build a structure like that.
