I've definitely done #7: I was far, far behind everyone and exhausted, backpacking to a high ridge in the Grand Tetons. Something snapped, and I just ran up the absurd climb for a good hour or so, passing everyone several times over. By the time I got to the top, I screamed loudly to the world that I am the walrus.
