Is to ride up one of the first few bins, dig out a bivy spot at the top, stash your sleeping gear, beer and any other libations, then ride back down to the mid-station and start climbing. If you are reasonably fit and skilled you can simul-climb or solo 98% of the route with ease in a long afternoon. This tactic was a lot of fun and allowed for ample celebration during the sunset.
