Did this fixed, found it surprisingly easy actually, I've only ever done probably 35 miles fixed before on reasonably flat stuff, so I was quite surprised i managed it so well. I only got about a 1/3 up the beacon before 47/18 killed me. How you did it on 48/16 I will never know.
It was pretty funny how so many people on tres expensive road bikes thought i was mental for riding fixed.
There was a lad on an all white bike with a supreme decal on his frame, i saw him at the top of the beacon - brakeless - wouldn't fancy that down the other side.
