When I was ascending / descending the various passes in the Rocky Mountains, I recalled a story that Road Hog told me about going over the BearTooth outside of Yellowstone. He and his wife were ascending the pass when it began to snow. He said they were going barely 5-10 MPH, in second gear, up the road. The sleet had covered his face and he asked his wife to wipe the sleet off. She said "F-no, this was your stupid idea, my hands are too cold and they are staying in my pockets".
Once they made it to the top, it was warm on the other side and the ride continued without further conflict.
