Seems like a nice trip/contest. I participated in my first hill-climbing contest last autumn. Not really climbing, but running/walking up a really steep mountain in Bergen. It's ~950m in lenght and is ~400m high, so really steep. Finished it in 15mins and 30 secs, 4 secs infront of my brother who had run it lots of times
The pro athletes in Norway finishes it in 8-9 minutes (those on our national skiing/running team). So still a while to get 'up there'
