I've seen a previous edition where, indeed, both ends of the runway were 18.
In fact, for that reason, the 747-400 (when I flew it; circa 2000-2001) could not fly over the waypoint NPOLE (note: a real ICAO fix) because when you did, every possible heading was South, and the autopilots went nuts.
The most northerly route we could fly stayed 600 miles south.
Jepp also made a Miracle on the Hudson plate which is very cool.

Great approach chart for the North Pole!
I love the "2 Reindeer out" mins!
Reminds me of the joke about the day the FAA showed up to give Santa a line check, the Fuzz is holding a shotgun as he approaches the sleigh. Santa asks, "What's that for??"
The FAA guy says, "Well, I'm not supposed to tell you this but....you're going to lose one on takeoff."

I was just up that way last week, going MSP-NRT, the 777 switches to Grid automatically for you, around 72N I think.
