I did, thanks to a Norwegian registered campervan. I pulled out a gap by the food stop half way up, but @Cycliste pulled a blinder by turning up just as I was about to leave and saying 'Hold my bike', as she went off to forage at the food station.
However, I pulled out another lead through the hairpins in the forest, but @Cycliste was playing a waiting game as we entered the last third of the climb, hanging back about 50m behind me. But then we came across the Norwegian campervan - a huge twin axle thing being driven really badly, getting stuck on every corner. I managed a quick sprint to get past it, @Cycliste was stuck behind it until the last few hairpins. So an easy ride to get to the summit first.
