Hill descent control was awesome on the way down! It's the only time I have ever been in a situation where it was even remotely feasible to use.
I actually found myself playing with it quite a bit, it's very strange, its like you set your speed with the gas pedal, and it uses the brakes when you exceed that speed - i.e. if you back off the gas, the brakes come into play immediately to bring your speed down.
I agree climbing it yourself is a fairly magical experience. I keep wanting to go back but the first time I fooled myself contantly into thinking "Maybe I'm getting close..." and I started doing that roughly 1/5th of the way up.
I'm a little worried at hitting it again, but this time knowing the full extent of what I'm up against right from the start.
