I would be met at the top to be driven back down, so, no descent.
Train on hills as much as you can. Find the longest and steepest hills you can repeat. (But the Mitchell climb isn't that steep) Repeat ad nauseum, until you're doing the equivalent of climbing for 20+ miles. Why no descent? That's just crazy talk.
