Great, you're not to far off the mark from the beginning. Probably a smart move staying off the top in the high winds too. There are smart mountaineers and there are dead mountaineers. Too many people get caught out in bad weather. If you can find some stadium stairs to run you'll be pleased with the result. Sounds like your goal is easily within your reach.
