Yes, every direction would be north.
Just like when you stand on a mountain top and all directions go down.

you do not ought to do something specific on the poles different than prepare for some very (infinitely) tight turns. consistent with the ref., internet site 354, there are an endless variety of spirals on the poles however the path length is finite. Eq. 4 of the ref. says distance = R(latitude2-latitude1)*secant(bearing) = (as a result) great circle/cos(40 5 deg) because of the fact the previous answer says.

yep.... until you took your first step OFF the pole... then you'd have your East/West choices again, too.....
