To add to my story: On the way up, we passed a cyclist, going up.
He arrived at the top of the road about 45 minutes behind us.

 
Going up mountains like this is much too dangerous.  You could slip and
fall.  You could get a hangnail.  You could get to the top just to find
the Bordeaux is corked.  A friend of mine in high school went to the
top of Tantalus in her boyfriend's car and wound up pregnant.  It's just
not worth the risk.
 
No, it's much safer to go mountain climbing on Wake Island.  There's no
need to use the lower gears on the bicycle and if something goes wrong,
the officer's club is able to deliver a martini anywhere when it is needed.
 
Plus when you get back to Honolulu you'll be able to tell all the young
girls elaborate stories of how you climbed to the highest peak on the
island there.

Thank you. Whilst I was interested in the experiences of previous
contributors to this thread, thank you for your humour, a feature seldom
now seen here except for Dimensional Traveller's comments.
