Now that's a well documented post!
I think I would have taken the elevator but I am far from having the right physical condition for suvh a climb. Congratulations though for having done it on foot from start to finish!

Also, love the video but one picture stands out for me: the one with the rising sun and nearly everything is still plunged into darkness. Thanks for sharing such a high quality picture, I can make myself an ultra-wide wallpaper 😉
