"...hope to ride out there, and up the climb on the steel fixed donkey tommorrow. While my riding buds cruise up on their crabon stallions. Actually think it'll be an awsome ride... if I survive the desent."

"...Slowfurry, if your bicycle have the necessary mount for a rear brake and freewheel, then it's definitely worth it. Having said that, descending a mountain pass on a fixed wheel is something everyone should tried at least once, and promise themselves never to do it again."

Some people like a challenge, so why are you suggesting a freewheel when clearly it's part of the plan to do the climb fixed? Surely descending is easier on a freewheel, but that's hardly the point. Can't really comment on brakes, it's not my thing.
