OK, dangit, I just looked and I'm down to 1452/1769. The first time I did it was the fastest! And ironically, the coolest! I wonder if there's a correlation?

Let's agree to dispense with this "It was easy" BS. It's not an easy climb. It's not an impossible climb either and how good did it feel to lean your bike up against the guardrail at the shack? That was a terrific accomplishment, don't diminish it by saying it was easy. The whole point of yesterday was to flip the switch from "I guess I can go up hills" to "I can go up mountains" so congratulations again.

As for PJ's extra bottles, I was suspicious - they looked like some sort of rocket propellant. And join the clyde club on Strava while you're thinking about it...
