Managed to get up in about an hour. Cycling mostly in first gear with electric support on 1 sometimes 2 (out of 3). A couple of quick breaks. Used about half of the battery.
The wind was rough and cold, but the effort kept me warm.
I thought this would be the worst, it was the hardest work, but there was more to come. From here, its mostly downhill though.
